^^ You didn't get the announcement last summer that Robin moved to the U.S.? He was approached by U.S. figure skating to join one of two rinks in the U.S. He visited both, and he chose the right one. There were articles last year announcing Szolkowy joining Meno/Sand's coaching team in California:

Robin may be working with younger skaters at the rink in Irvine, but he probably also assists with the top level pairs too. Why wouldn't he, as a 5-time World pairs champion, and a two-time Olympic pairs medalist? I recall Calalang/Johnson mentioning in an old interview some helpful tips Robin gave them. He just doesn't appear to be serving in a primary coaching capacity for C/J, nor for the Knierims last season.

Robin Szolkowy will form a coaching alliance this spring with Jenni Meno and Todd Sand at a brand new skating facility in Irvine, California.

Last I heard Robin was working with Meno and Sand so he could be working with Alexa and Brandon whenever skating training resumes.
