Club Info in English
Etelä-Vantaan Taitoluistelijat ry EVT (Southern Vantaa Figure Skaters) is a fully developed, versatile and growing skating club in Vantaa, Finland. For over 25 years we have provided our skaters with professional coaching of highest quality covering diversified skating interests and competition possibilities. The awards collection for the recognition and honors our skaters have achieved is on display in the main ice rink in Myyrmäki. EVT is a member of the Finnish Figure Skating Association.
The club is based at the Myyrmaki ice rink which is situated in Vantaa, approximately 15 kilometres north of Helsinki downtown. The skaters also train in Tikkurila, Klaukkala, and Kisakallio Sports Institute. The club is well known for its excellent synchronized skating teams and has also been one of the leading clubs in singles skating in the country for the past twenty years. One of the most successful Finnish male skaters ever, Markus Leminen, used to represent the Etela-Vantaa Figure Skaters in the European and World Championships for many years.
EVT's skaters and coaches are admired at the national Finnish Championship and international competition levels, for individual skating and synchronized skating alike. EVT has been selected several times as the year's best skating club in Finland and has also been awarded the Ludovika and Walter Jakobson Cup.
Currently in EVT we have basic skating school programs, individual and synchronized skating development groups, growing and developing individual skating competition groups and seven international-level synchronized skating teams. We currently have hundreds of vivacious and talented skaters in EVT, their age range being between 3-50 years.

|
|
| are mainly involved in ballet, physical and metal training as well |

| All skaters get to perform in these shows regardless of their |
|
|
| age and skill level. |
