At 11.40 Swedish time, the Swedish figure skater Josefin Taljegård, 26, shone in the Olympics strong spotlight for the first time.

To the tune of a remix of Fugees Ready or Not, she then performed her short program.

After getting a point deduction for her triple lutz with double toeloop, she got underrotation in her triple flip.

Good distance from the best of the season

After a nice double shoulder, the question was what the point would be for Taljegård?

Would she have a chance to advance to the free program on Thursday?

Taljegård's score was 54.51, a good distance from her season best, 58.24, and her personal best 61.58.

Josefin Taljegård went into fifth place out of six skiers and can now hope for mistakes from the remaining skiers to become one of the 24 out of 30 skiers who get to ride the free program.

Renowned Russian skier Kamila Valieva starts as 26th skier around 14.52 Swedish time.

The competition is ongoing.
