Valtter Virtanen (born 4 June 1987) is a Finnish figure skater. He is a three-time Nordic medalist (gold in 2022, silver in 2016, bronze in 2014) and a seven-time Finnish national champion (2013, 2015–2018, 2022-2023). He has competed at a total of sixteen ISU Championships, reaching the final segment on six occasions, at five European and one World Junior Championships. His best ISU Championship placement, 14th, came at the 2023 Europeans in Espoo.
Personal life
Virtanen was born on 4 June 1987 in Kerava, Finland. After completing his studies in late 2015, he became a medical doctor at a hospital in Oberstdorf, Germany. He works part-time in the emergency room of the Hospital of Peurunka and is team doctor of Finnish hockey team, JYP Jyväskylä.[1][2] He is also multilingual with the ability to speak Finnish, English, German, and Swedish.[2]
He married German figure skater Alina Mayer in July 2016.[1] The couple's daughter, Lija, was born in January 2021.[3][4]
In the summer of 2022, responding to an appeal from the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation, Virtanen and his wife decided to help Ukrainian figure skater, Kyrylo Marsak, who was no longer able to train in Kyiv due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. They allowed him to train at their skating club, the Peurunka Skating Academy in Laukaa, and Virtanen's wife became Marsak's new coach.[5][6]
Virtanen's mother passed away from cancer in February 2023.[7][4]
Career
Early career
Virtanen began skating in 1992 at Keravan Luistinseura.[8] His first skating coach was Liivo Rennik.[9] As a junior, he competed at three consecutive World Junior Championships. He reached the final segment and finished twentieth overall at the 2005 Junior Worlds in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. He moved up to the senior level during the 2006–07 figure skating season and subsequently won bronze at the 2008 and 2010 Finnish Championships and silver at the 2009 Finnish Championships.[10]
Prior to the 2010–11 figure skating season, Virtanen left his longtime coach, Liivo Rennik, to begin training under Stefan Zins in Tampere. That season, after winning silver at the 2011 Finnish Championships, Virtanen was selected to compete at the European Championships for the first time, where he finished in thirty-third place.[10]
Following a silver medal win at the 2014 Finnish Championships, Virtanen was selected to compete at the European Championships for a third time, where he finished in twenty-ninth place. One week later, he would compete at the 2014 Bavarian Open, where he finished eighth.[10]
Prior to the season, Virtanen made a coaching change, going from Karel Fajfr to Jean-François Ballester and Marie Therese Kreiselmeyer. His wife, Alina, also continued coaching him.[1]
In December, he won his fifth national title at the 2018 Finnish Championships and was ultimately selected to represent Finland at the European and World Championships.[10]
In December, Virtanen's coach, Jean-François Ballester, unexpectedly died of a heart attack.[16] Following Ballester's death, Virtanen posted on his Instagram, expressing that he hoped he could continue making Ballester proud.[17] Shortly afterward, Virtanen won the silver medal at the 2019 Finnish Championships behind Roman Galay.[10]
In August, it was announced that Virtanen would split his training time between working with his wife, Alina, in Peurunka, Finland, while also making trips to Oberstdorf, Germany to work with Michael Huth.[18]
Virtanen started the season by competing at the 2020 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, where he finished thirteenth. He would subsequently place fifth at the 2020 NRW Trophy and the 2020 Tallink Hotels Cup.[10]
In June 2023, it was announced he was taking up pairs skating and pairing with Tilda Alteryd.[21] However the partnership would come to an end in September 2023 due to Alteryd's difficulties with adapting to the new training environment in Finland.[4][22] As a result, Virtanen returned to singles skating. His short program to the song "Saturn" by Sleeping at Last was dedicated to his mother, who had recently died.[4]
Virtanen began competing in early November at the 2023 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge, where he placed eighth. While at the event, Virtanen was able to secure the technical minimum scores to compete at the World Championships.[10][4] He subsequently competed at the 2023 CS Warsaw Cup and the 2023 Tallinn Trophy, finishing tenth and fourth, respectively.[10]
Due to Suntsev failing to obtain the minimum technical scores to compete at the 2024 World Championships in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Virtanen was sent to the event. He finished thirty-fourth of the forty men competing at the event.[4] Following the event, Virtanen said, "I am glad to have skated without big errors. I try to enjoy every moment like this because especially at my age it’s not clear when will be the last opportunity like this."[23]
