The Ice Princess.
Kiira Korpi may not be the best
athlete in this years winter Olympics, but she’s certainly the hottest. A
figure skater from Finland, Kiira has opened the doors for many young
Americans to choose their next Foreign Exchange destination to be her
very own country.
Korpi was born in Tampere, Finland. Her father, Rauno
Korpi, coached the Finnish women’s hockey team to a bronze medal at the
1998 Winter Olympics.
Korpi began skating at the age of five, following
her older sister. She landed her first triple jump, a salchow, when she
was 11 or 12. In Finland her nickname is Jääprinsessa (Ice Princess) due
to her resemblance to Grace Kelly, the former Princess of Monaco. She
is “widely regarded as one of the most beautiful women in figure
skating. Check her out. Enjoy.
