With a loud Jodel: German skating news

[oleada]

I read in an interview they are working on a quad flip

That would be awesome. Their 3F gets so much height, I can see it happening.

According to his website, Tischendorf is training again and plans to compete at Ice Challenge in November.

[poths]

So, Savchenko/Szolkowy revealed their new programs and plans for the future.
The SP will be a russian-hungarian folklore based music, the FS will be to Pink Panther.
There were no words about jumps and highlights of the program.

Savchenko said, that they want to win europeans and worlds and after that to decide, if they will go on until sotchi.
maybe they will take a break and come back 2014, but let´s see and wait.

I'm digging your user name. Go on the Norman!

I would so totally do that, if I were you.

I just watched Savchenko/Szolkowy's SP and I'm underwhelmed.

The program clearly isn't ready and I'm sure it will look much better later on in the season. So far, it seems nowhere near as complex as Clowns.

Free program is even less ready, they performed it with lots of gaps and it's very hard to say anything about it.

To be honest I don't see the point of that press show at all. Why bother showing programs that clearly aren't ready?

I think it is promotion and a way of earning money... after all the coach doesn`t get any official funding, and they have to pay him. At the moment he only has them and Dasha Popova....

Ah ok, I guess it was for the sponsors. Makes sense.

I thought there was some weird arrangement whereby DEU didn't give money to Steuer but paid their costs?

And Steuer must coach some younger skaters surely?

... no he doesn`t only S/S and Popova

[Ziggy]

That's weird. I am sure a lot of lower level skaters would love to train with him.

[Eislauffan]

He would if the Federation was able to pay him. There are German skaters who want to be coached by him. He is for sure a strict coach, but he is successful and he is also a good choreographer.

He could take german skaters on a private basis, but he apparently doesn`t.
I don`t blame him.
He is a very good coach, and it would be fantastic if as many as possible could
have the opportunity to train with him.

Very good interview with Savchenko/Szolkowy and Steuer at Ice Network:
http://web.icenetwork.com/news/artic...&vkey=ice_news

Sissy Krick, ISU Judge: It is our interpretation [of ISU rules] that if a pair shows a sequence of three jumps only the first two jumps count. But if you show a combination of three jumps [without steps in between] all three jumps count.

If that is indeed true that's very stupid. A 3toe...3toe...2axel sequence is extremely hard to perform.

I hope somebody from ISU Technical Committee is going to clarify that asap.

I can't believe they are already landing throw 4flips in the program!
