Monica Lindfors (born 22 November 2000) is a Finnish figure skater. With partner Juho Pirinen, she qualified to the final at the 2017 World Junior Championships.[1]
Lindfors was born on November 22, 2000 in Helsinki, Finland. Her older sister Viveca, and younger siblings, Matias and Fanny, have also competed in single skating at the international level.[1][2][3]
She is currently a student at the University of Oulu, where she studies architecture. In addition, Lindfors is bilingual, able to communicate in Finnish and English.[4]
Figure skating career
Lindfors began figure skating in 2004. From 2012 to 2016, she competed as a singles skater.[5]
Prior to the 2016–17 figure skating season, she would decide to team up with Juho Pirinen to compete in the ice dance discipline. Coached by former Italian ice dancer, Maurizio Margaglio, in Helsinki, the duo won the 2016–17 Finnish Junior Championships, finished nineteenth at the 2017 World Junior Championships, and won bronze at the 2017–18 Finnish Junior Championships on the senior level. Their partnership would dissolve following the 2017–18 figure skating season.[6][7]
Post-competitive career
Following her competitive figure skating career, Lindfors began working as a figure skating choreographer at the Peurunka Ice Rink in Laukaa, Finland.[4] Skaters she has worked with have included Valtter Virtanen, Kyrylo Marsak, and Makar Suntsev.[8][9][10]
