Kiira Korpi

[1] Her father, Rauno Korpi, coached the Finnish women's hockey team to a bronze medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics.She lived in Milan, Italy, after she retired from competitive skating, and in 2016, she moved to New York City, U.S.[6][7] On Jun 1, 2023, Korpi came out as a member of the LGBT community via Instagram, stating that she could "totally see [herself] falling in love with a person regardless of their gender."The following season, making her ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut, she placed 6th in Slovenia and took the bronze medal in Poland.Early in the 2007–08 season, Korpi suffered an esophagus infection, flu, and sinusitis, causing her to miss her first Grand Prix event.[12] In July 2011, Korpi injured the metatarsus in her foot, resulting in her withdrawal from the 2011 Japan Open and 2011 Finlandia Trophy.[13][14] She resumed practicing toe jumps in October and said they were going well but she did not feel they were completely ready for the 2011 NHK Trophy,[15] where she finished 6th.Korpi won her third medal at the Europeans, finishing second behind Carolina Kostner despite hurting her upper leg a few weeks before the championships.[16] She withdrew from the 2012 World Championships two weeks prior to the event, citing lingering foot and hip injuries.[22][23] She was assigned to two Grand Prix events, the 2013 Skate Canada International and the 2013 Trophee Eric Bompard, but had to withdraw from both due to an Achilles tendon injury sustained in September.[25] After an operation in April 2014 due to necrosis, she wore a cast for six weeks and resumed training in late June.[25] Korpi made her return to competition at the 2014 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb after a two-year hiatus due to injuries.
