Excerpts from quick Google translation:
After only half a year in the service of the KNSB, Aljona Savchenko says goodbye as national figure skating trainer. She will finish the season, which ends on April 1.
Savchenko came to Heerenveen from Germany last autumn. There she led the NTK, where they trained with both individual and pair riders. They had a two-year contract with the KNSB (until mid-2024), with an evaluation moment halfway through, which has now been broken.
“Last year we were proud that Aljona had chosen us, but unfortunately she is not the right woman in this place. In good consultation, we have decided to end the collaboration after this season," says Remy de Wit, technical director of the KNSB. “We will quickly and carefully look for the best possible successor for the drivers of the NTK.”
Aljona Savchenko: “It was short but powerful, my stay in the Netherlands. I started this adventure last year with a lot of energy. But that turned out to be less good for me in practice than I expected. Everything comes to an end. I look forward to the next challenge with great anticipation, because I know that I will make a new start in my second home, in Chemnitz.”
