Savchenko has the best synchro team.
Does anyone know if they are coming back to compete next season? Maybe it will depend what the competition does this season. I think that was part of Virtue & Moir hedging on their comeback, they surveyed the landscape, decided if whether or not they were still competitive, decided yes, then it was a go.
I willI hope you or someone who understands German can give us a brief translation of the most important parts of it
I will
Aljona and Bruno have received the role model of the year award of a big German sports magazine. Well deserved!
There's an interview of Liam on the Olympic Channel podcast (latest one): https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/olympic-channel-podcast/id1347405249?mt=2
He mentions being physically sick because of stress before the Olympics but also how he proposed, how they first met etc. It's nice to hear the side of the ones supporting the athletes. And I love how he talks about her and the trust between them. Apparently there's another interview from the same day with Aljona, coming up soon.
An interview with Bruno and Aliona at Nebelhorn:

Bruno seems quite happy coaching and looking forward to his new baby. Aliona seems as if competing to her is still like breathing...
On Instagram TSL posted Aljona helping Chinese pairs right now.
Looks like she is still in demand in spite she ditched the Knierims.
... in remembering interviews with Aljona about the early stages of the partnership, Bruno really did not like Ingo, didn’t get along with him, and was the one who pointed out to her what an expletive he was being and that they should find a different coach. She was too enmeshed at that point to realize how bad the atmosphere was.
I'm interested to read these interviews. Do you know where I would find them? Weren't Ingo and Aljona a couple at one point? ... As much as I would have liked Bruno Massot to have a few more seasons as a top skater (as his career, while very well decorated, was quite short in the top levels )

A good read in one of the biggest German newspaper, which is good for public relations.
Not much news in it, just a longer piece about their current state of affairs, the way they shortened their FS for show's. Bruno's back seems to do better, with less pain . A paragraph on Alexander König, who has still not gotten his promised contract as head national coach for pair sakting – bureaucracy, he says, which is annoying.
Young Arseny Fedotov is a big talent! I hope he keeps skating!Highlights of Gala in Ingolstadt: http://mediathek.daserste.de/Sports...usamm/Video?bcastId=53524&documentId=58837314 (could be geoblocked)

This came up in the Battle of the Blades thread: Aljona's baby girl, Amilia Savchenko Cross, was born on September 7th. She and Liam waited a while to post the good news
