German Skating News - Part 3

[judiz]

Good to see that both, Lorenz and Polizoakis want to continue. Make peace and skate together again!!!! Would be the best for everyone

Make peace? Why are you so sure it was a personality clash between them and not something or someone else ?

What's going on with Ingo Steuer? Is he still coaching in Florida? Or is it true he has gone back to Germany?

What's going on with Ingo Steuer? Is he still coaching in Florida? Or is it true he has gone back to Germany?

Word was he is back in GER.
Does Bock have a new coach finally? Striegler is located in Berlin, or is she travelling back and forth?
Ingo is listed among Striegler as her coaches, but I think he was listed all season long, so...

btw. Bocks new SP is choreographed again by Camerlengo, no word about the music though.

The splits brought a question to mind. A lot of the German athletes receive funding through the army. What does the German army require in return for the funding? For example, my friend had his entire education paid for by the military. In return, he had another five years of service (albeit at the budget office).

If Lorenz and Polizoakis were part of the army, would they have to pay them back in any way?

 

[care bear]

AFAIK they have to do for a few month what a normal soldier of Bundeswehr does. Here is an article (April 2015) on Savchenko in the army http://www.freiepresse.de/SPORT/Mit-Verlobungsring-zur-Armee-artikel9168056.php die 31-Jährige ist jetzt Soldatin und absolviert die Grundausbildung an der Schule für Feldjäger und Stabsdienst in Hannover. In den sechs Wochen lernt sie unter anderem, wie eine Armee funktioniert, erhält eine Sanitätsausbildung und wird im Schießen ausgebildet. Please use coogle translate.

good question; van Cleave was funded by the army too and we know he is now touring with a cruising ship ( ); so seems more like quitting/losing job/funding.

i think most of the time, already 'succesful' athletes (or succesful upcoming juniors) got included in the army here. as lorenz was not even located in germany, neither has had a partner and joti has had a very semi-succesful turn into single seniors, i doubt they were part of the german army.

the last skaters i know of germany were liebers, zhiganshina/gaszi, aliona, blommaert, van cleave, urban who were funded.

 

[Jeschke]

btw. part of the german team is now on lanzarote for a athletic seminar; according to german fed this is the first team preaparation for the upcoming season since years. 11 athletes are there.

seniors: bock, dastich, kempf, vartmann/blommaert, koch/nüchtern

 

[Jeschke]

OMG just read this. Seriously? They were the first German pair that was extremely promising.
Joti is likely throwing all of this away for being with that jerk?
He is soooo going to regret it...

A book on Aljona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy has been published. It is about their career(s) - from childhood until now:

Is there going to be an English edition?

 

[care bear]

I already read it! It is written very entertaining, interesting insights. Can only recommend the book.

The text at the link says an "English version is in preparation."

 

[Karpenko]

Tatjana Flade wrote it. If there's ever an English version I'll get it.

Just rub it in!

Bumping this up just to ask if there are any updates about Kavita and Joti? Is now the time to search for new partners or will that be in August when the skaters in Novi return from break?

 

[Jeschke]

vartmann/blommaert are in canada right now for new programs with mark pillay.
happy they keep working with him, their last seasons short progra was one of my 2 favourites among all pairs.

Go V/B! Kick ass this season

 

[kwanfan1818]

V/B's SP last season .

I hope Pillay knocks another one out of the park for them.

 

[Jeschke]

Good news ?!

Lorenz/Polizoakis are back together.
http://www.sport.de/news/ne2263375/deutsches-eistanz-paar-macht-weiter/

They had a meeting with Martin Skotnicky and head of german fed Dönsdorf in Munich.
Shpliband will remain as coach.

Don't know what to think of this...kinda strange. Bomb still ticking...?

Either way: happy for Kavita

Kolbe and Caruso also broke up for a few months and decided then that they should continue together. Hopefully, it's going to work out for Kavita and Joti. German ice dance needs them.

it's not like kolbe/caruso have been around for too long in their career...
