Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis is in the building! – a free dance filled with character, featuring Olivia Smart and Tim Dieck. The stage of it all? Espoo Metro Areena, October 2023
Let us brag: Inside Skating photo-archive is a gold mine.
Literally.
If you close your eyes and choose a photo, any photo, it turns out you picked a great one – you can’t go wrong.
And because we have this sea of beautiful photos to navigate in, we’ll just make a selection from time to time and show it to you. We won’t keep these photos only for ourselves anymore.
***
We start with this incredible selection from 2023 Finlandia Trophy (October 6-8, Espoo) – and we’ll continue with equally great photos from 2023 Grand Prix Espoo (November 17-19).
This season, these two competitions become one, under the name Grand Prix Finlandia Trophy 2024, scheduled to take place November 15-17 in Helsinki.
Until this happens, we dive into our archive and return to last autumn in Espoo…
