Source-derived summary

Amanda Nylander (born 20 April 1990) is a Swedish figure skater. She placed 15th at the 2005 World Junior Championships and 17th at the 2006 World Championships. She started skating as a child, in Älta. Her coach was Marie Olsson. She is the twin sister of Isabelle Nylander, who also competed in figure skating.

Despite being seen as future medal hope in the Olympic Games, Nylander quit figure skating soon after her World Championships success, failing to find the motivation for the practice required for an elite figure skater. She attempted a comeback in 2012.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Amanda Nylander” as figure skater. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1990, 2005, 2006, 2012—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1990-04-20. The account is most persuasive where Amanda, Nylander and figure can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as figure skater. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4739717. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2005, 2006 and 2012.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
