Savchenko, Szolkowy out to erase 2010 letdown
Pair putting throw triple Axel in both programs, Savchenko says
By Klaus-Reinhold Kany and Lynn Rutherford, special to Icenetwork.com
(08/02/2013) - Winning an Olympic medal of any color is often the high point in an athlete's career. For Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy, it was a bitter disappointment.
"The day after winning only a bronze medal in Vancouver in 2010, we sat together and decided we want to win a gold medal at the 2014 Games -- nothing less," Savchenko, 29, said.
For a season or two after Vancouver, the Germans looked on track to gain the long-sought prize. But last season, the four-time world pairs champions settled for second place behind Russians Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov at the 2013 World Figure Skating Championships. They're still shooting for gold in Sochi, but defeating their younger rivals on Russian soil calls for a new weapon, as well as a new approach.
"We plan to include a throw triple Axel in both programs, because we have prepared this element for two years now and tried it several times in competition," Savchenko said.
The Germans put the risky move, with its base value of 8.25 points, at the very end of their free skate at the 2013 World Championships in London, Ontario. Although the landing wasn't perfect, it gained 7.39 points and helped fend off a challenge from Canadians Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford.
The pair is also taking a fresh look at their choreography. While training their new programs in two rinks in Toronto in July, their coach, Ingo Steuer, opened their close-knit circle to include renowned Canadian choreographer David Wilson.
Usually, Steuer handles his team's choreography himself.
"I have known David for a long time and have been preparing for this cooperation with him since last year, or even before," Steuer said at the end of his Toronto stay. "The week here was a successful enrichment in my career as a coach, because the chemistry between the two of us worked perfectly. This is rare, but we fit together like a puzzle."
Despite his reputation for taking full control, Steuer welcomed Wilson's input on more than choreography.
" mainly worked with Aliona and Robin on the skating skills, edges and poses, because last season we left a few components points on the table in those areas, compared to our rivals," Steuer said.
"David has a lot of experience, especially in this area," Steuer continued. "Aliona and Robin now are much better component-wise again, and certainly better than the Russians."
For their short program, the Germans have chosen music from composer and violinist André Rieu, composed specially for them.
"Choosing music was a long process; I had the choice of about 20 pieces of music, but none of them really fit 100 percent," Steuer said. "Something was arranged, but when we played it in the rink, we did not like it. I am a perfectionist and am happy only if something is perfect.
"So I contacted André Rieu, who we had collaborated with a few times in the past," he continued. "He composed and arranged a new piece of music especially for us. After coming back from our journey to Asia in June, we decided to take it, because all three of us like it. Its name is 'When Winter Comes,' and it is very lyrical, but also has a strong sound in a big ice rink."
"As this music is new, nobody in the competition will have the same piece," Savchenko said.
The pair will announce their free skate music at the end of the month.
"The free is ready, but it is our 'baby' which we want to bring to life a bit later," Steuer said. "We have heard the rumor that our main rivals, Tatiana and Maxim, will skate to Jesus Christ Superstar. This is certainly not our style, and I do not like this music. We are going in a completely different direction."
This, explained Steuer, is by design.
"During our journey in Asia (to do shows), I had asked my former pupil, Tatiana , what direction the Russians' music was taking," he said. "Nobody wants the two best pairs in the world to skate to the same music."
After returning from Toronto, Savchenko and Szolkowy plan to train a week in Berlin and then return to Chemnitz. They will unveil their new free skate at a media day in Berlin in late August, when all top German skaters show their new programs to the public.
With their home rink in Chemnitz closed at times, Savchenko and Szolkowy have traveled for much of the late spring and summer.
"In May, we were in Florida, practicing at the rink where John Zimmerman and his wife (Silvia Fontana) work," Steuer said. "We trained mainly our elements; for example, new lifts and a different pair spin, which the rules require this season. We also worked on choreography for new show programs."
"I worked a bit with John's students Haven Denney and Brandon Frazier, the world junior champions," he continued. "It was very interesting for me to work with such a young team again."
In June, the German trio was in Asia for about four weeks, doing shows.
"We were in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China," Savchenko said. "This was quite exhausting because we had to travel a lot and were otherwise on the ice from morning to night, training the choreography for many group numbers."
In an interesting twist, the top two pairs will each compete on their rivals' turf this fall. Volosozhar and Trankov will take part in the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf in September. The Germans' first competition is Cup of China, followed by the Rostelecom Cup. The first time they could square off face to face is the Grand Prix Final in Japan in December.
With Peter Liebers and ice dancers Nelli Zhiganshina and Alexander Gazsi moving up the ranks, Germany may qualify for the new Olympic team event. If it does, it will compete without its stars.
"We have already told the federation that we are not going to take part in the team event in Sochi," Steuer said. "It is too close to our own competition. The gold medal in our individual event is more important to us. It is why we have been working so hard since 2010."
Ingo+DW共同完成FS？ OMG,世界毁灭了.... DW这赛季接了好几个双人冰舞的订单啊 短节目也是抛三周半，看来这次真的要拼了 这种不成功便成仁的节奏，唯有祝福了

2013.9.3. Icenetwork.com对SS的采访。谈及了他们的自由滑《胡桃夹子》以及备战计划。
其中的要点包括：
Ingo表示他几年前就有让SS滑《胡桃夹子》的想法。所以他们团队的告别演出他们想演绎一个德国的童话故事，但是配以俄罗斯的音乐。
SS自由滑音乐主要选择其中的“pas de deux(大双人舞) ” 他们认为这一段音乐不像《胡桃夹子》中的其他著名片段那样显得“幼稚”。女S表示她将演绎剧中小女孩，男S则演绎王子。
包括SS在内的德国参加国际比赛的选手近期在柏林给德国冰协的官员们非公开的展示了新赛季的节目。SS的自由滑《胡桃夹子》包括一个抛三周半，以及3t 3t 的连续跳。此外他们的3个托举都在节目的后半部分，其中有两个托举是新设计的，而且非常危险。
Ingo表示他们准备抛3周半已经有两年时间了，而在本赛季他们将在两套节目中均使用此动作。此外他们的短节目《当冬天来临时》将会展示全新的托举和精致的接续步。
中国杯将是他们这两套节目首演的时刻，之后他们还将参加大奖赛俄罗斯站的比赛。总决赛后将在10年后再次参加12月中旬的德国全国锦标赛。

Savchenko, Szolkowy to take classical curtain call
Pair skating to 'The Nutcracker' for its free in final competitive season Posted 9/3/13 by Klaus-Reinhold Kany and Lynn Rutherford, special to icenetwork
In their decade-long career, Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy's programs have run the gamut, from movie themes to modern dance to Broadway musicals. About the only genre they have skipped is classical.
So when the four-time world pairs champions unveiled their new free skate to Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker at Berlin's Erika Hess Ice Rink last week, it was a surprise.
"I had this music at home for years and had always planned to use it some time," the pair's coach, Ingo Steuer, said. "In our final competitive season, we want to interpret a German story but with Russian music. Ballet is an important part of Russian culture, and the Olympic Games are in Sochi, so this music is ideal."
"We are not using some of the most well-known pieces of the ballet, because they are a bit too childish," he continued. "But we are using the pas de deux."
Savchenko, a Ukraine native who moved to Germany in 2003 to team up with Szolkowy, explained that the ballet's story has its roots in an early 19th century German fairy tale, Nutcracker and Mouse King, penned by the poet E.T.A. Hoffmann.
"When I told my parents we were skating to this music, they remembered they had been told this fairy tale in their childhood by their grandparents," she said. "It is known in Ukraine and Russia."
In the ballet, Clara gets a nutcracker at Christmas and dreams it comes to life to fight the evil Mouse King. After winning the battle, the nutcracker turns into a handsome prince, and Clara dances with him (the pas de deux).
"Of course I play the girl, and Robin is the prince," Savchenko said. "I have always wanted to play a ballerina on ice. If everything in our program works as planned, I always get goose pimples. We hope that the spectators will feel this way as well. It will be a great program."
In Berlin, members of Germany's international team showed their programs to German figure skating officials and judges, but no spectators were admitted and no videotaping was allowed. Savchenko and Szolkowy want to wait until the program is more polished before it reaches the public.
The free skate began with one of the team's strongest elements, a throw triple flip, followed by a sequence of two side-by-side triple toe loops. The three lifts are in the second half of the program; two of them are new and very risky.
At the very end, they plan their biggest highlight, a throw triple Axel. No other top pair performs this element, which has a base value of 8.25 points. Since it will be done in the second half of a program, the element gains a 10 percent bonus.
At the 2013 World Figure Skating Championships, the Germans were defeated by their Russian rivals, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, by more than 20 points. They took silver by edging Canadians Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford by just one point.
Clearly, Savchenko, 29, and Szolkowy, 34, think they need the extra points the risky element may bring.
"We have prepared this throw now for two years, and this season we will include it in both of our programs," Steuer said.
During this monitoring event, Savchenko and Szolkowy also performed their new short program, set to romantic music for violin and orchestra called "When Winter Comes." It was composed by violinist André Rieu especially for the pair. This program featured a new lift, as well as a very tricky step sequence.
For the first time, Steuer did not choreograph his pupils' programs alone but collaborated with Canadian choreographer David Wilson when Savchenko and Szolkowy trained in Toronto in early August.
Savchenko and Szolkowy will debut their programs at Cup of China in early November, followed by the Rostelecom Cup in Russia and, hopefully, the Grand Prix Final in Japan this December. After this, for the first time in several seasons, they plan to compete at their national championships, to be held at the Erika Hess Ice Rink in mid-December.
"We had our first national competition together 10 years ago at this rink," Savchenko said. "We have excellent memories, because the spectators and the judges were thrilled when they saw us for the first time. Therefore, we plan to skate in our final German nationals in this same rink. This will round out our wonderful competition career."
德国媒体mdr.de采访并曝光了S/S 2013-14赛季的两套节目。从视频中展示的短节目音乐信息，应该是改编自英国音乐人Chris De Burgh创作的音乐When winter Comes《当冬天来临时》, André Rieu将其改编成为了小提琴和管弦乐队的版本。而为了更好演绎自由滑《胡桃夹子》，他们从俄罗斯请来了芭蕾指导Marina Solodovmikova进行指点。视频中展示的画面来看，S/S的两套节目都很唯美。期待他们在职业生涯的最后一个冬天来临时完美讲述俄罗斯版本的德国童话故事。
