There will be little sister Helgesson who will represent Sweden in konståknings- World Cup. This despite the fact that she is still not injury-free.

– I still miss some strength in the foot, says Joshi Helgesson to skatesweden.se

The sisters Helgesson from Tibro has put Sweden to the high international level. At the European Championships in Stockholm recently ended Joshi four and Viktoria fifth after three Russian skaters.

But despite the success, Sweden may only send a female skater to the World Cup being held in Shanghai, China, March 23 to 30.

And now it seems the union’s elite committee see little sister Joshi as Sweden Marietta. It has at least taken her out to the World Cup even though she is not completely courant in the current situation.

– I still miss some strength in the foot. But it goes really well on both training and competition. It will be exciting to bring the experience and the experience of the European Championships in Stockholm with all the support from the home crowd for the World Cup in China and see how far I can go there, says Joshi to skatesweden.se.

set a record in European Championship

Joshi Helgesson has the capacity to climb to the highest world elite. During the European Championships, she put a personal record, 169.07 points. This despite the fact that she has been hampered by a foot injury since last fall.

When Joshi can compete shape topped with no ill sensations, the result should be even better.

The 21-year-old made the World Cup debut as early as 2011 with placement 15. Last year she placed as the 14th

Majorov on the men’s side

On the men’s side, as expected, Alexander Majorov selected for the World Cup. Nor Majorov has been courant and raced half damaged during the European Championships in the Globe.

– EM was a gamble but now I’m set to fight. The pain is still high but manageable. I hope my Achilles tendon can handle the load of a quadruple for the summer and next season. The advantage that I had a hard time with the jumps because of the injury, I had time to really improve other parts of my riding, which is evident now, says Alexander to skatesweden.se.
