With a loud Jodel: German skating news

[oubik]

Didn't the Beiers retire?

No, last time I´ve heard they are going for another four years to Sochi with Bundeswehr around them. Also I´ve heard Martin Skotnicky (who is now the chief coach of German ID) would love to have at least 4 pairs competing at senior level as he rightly thinks only in competition you can improve.

[Eislauffan]

Did they?

No, Savchenko/Szolkowy didn't reveal their short program. Their coach Ingo Steuer told me just the day before the club event that they are not going to do it.

Ingos explanation is that in September the new programms won't be ready at a high competition level.

It was posted in the "Pair/Dance post national breakups" thread yesterday that Mari Vartmann has partnered up with Aaron VanCleave (originally from Canada and competed at 2010 US Nationals in Senior pairs) and they will represent Germany.

Odd, considering Out of Africa was ready at a high competition level in about 3 minutes.

And it was the best performance they gave all season!

Thanks for sharing. I loved his fall on the throw salchow.

Well hopefully their new programs are going to be more complex.

They look pretty decent together so far. Definitely a team I'll be interested to see compete.

She hits a lot of lovely positions.

He has been off since US nationals, and I heard this was only there 3rd day together, so I will definitely been interested to see them compete this season as well.

Thanks for sharing! Glad to see both Mari and Flo with a new partner. Now if only Martin got a new partner quickly and we may actually have 5 senior pairs ...5 wow! love it

did I count that right
Aljona & Robin
Maylin & Daniel
Katharina & Flo
Mari & Aaron
??? & Martin

should be 4 or 5 junior pairs too ... and the first 2 are getting better and better the others are fairly new

Juliana & Alec
Karolin & Nolan
Jacqui & Andreas
Linda & Matti (shes a few days too young to compete Juniors internationally)
Monika & Imin
Katharina & Konrad (shes too young to compete Juniors internationally)
Milena & Juri ( wonder what they will do ... she (2000) is years away from junior age and he's (1994) out of Novice now ... thanks ISU)
??? & Viktor ... he is listed as DC Team Pairs so I guess he must have a partner somewhere

Speaking of competing. does anyone know if he has been release by USFSA or Skate Canada or whoever has to release him.

where are they training right now?

[skatak]

He's quite the international guy!!

I wonder which country he would have represented had he skated with Vanessa James ^^

Sheikh/VanCleave never comepted internationally for the U.S. so I'm pretty sure he doesn't need an official release.
