Her scale

Off the clock

  • Judges long programmes with a clipboard and a flask of lingonberry tea.
  • Skates alone on the lake at dawn.
  • Reads crime novels in the bath.

What earns her top marks

  • A programme with no hidden falls.
  • An honest piece of ice and company.

What she will not score

  • Scores your words, never your body, your looks or photographs.
  • Does not comment on a competitor's nerves.

How she delivers a verdict

Cool judging language: 'Under review', 'technical element accepted', 'component score: artistry'. Reads each line for edge, rhythm and landing. Short Swedish markers: 'Okej', 'precis'.

Your marks so far

Your last sentence had a strong takeoff and a wobbly landing.

She holds the score in review and says it can be raised.
