MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Olympic figure skating pairs champions Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze have retired from amateur competition.
"We have made a decision to finish our amateur careers and now we look forward to a new life in the professional ranks," Berezhnaya told Reuters from St Petersburg on Monday.
The duo hit the headlines at last year's Salt Lake City Winter Olympics (news - web sites) when they beat Canada's Jamie Sale and David Pelletier to win the pairs title.
Sale and Pelletier were later awarded a duplicate gold medal after French judge Marie Reine Le Gougne was accused of deliberately under-marking the Canadians to favor the Russians.
Both Le Gougne and the president of the French figure skating federation Didier Gailhaguet, who she claimed had pressured her to vote for the Russians, have since been banned for three years for misconduct.
Berezhnaya, 25, and Sikharulidze, 26, took a year off from amateur competition following their Olympic success to perform in the professional show "Stars on Ice," but now they have quit the amateur ranks for good, mirroring Sale and Pelletier who made the same decision just over a year ago.
NOT EASY
"It wasn't an easy decision, by no means. We weren't ready to retire a year ago, but now we are," Berezhnaya said.
"Last year, we didn't know what it would be like performing in the pros but after spending a year there, we knew if would be impossible to combine the two. You just can't compete as amateurs, then go and skate in the Stars on Ice."
She said finding proper motivation as well as financial factors were the main reasons for their decision to quit.
The Russians, who began skating together in 1996, won two world and two European titles and also finished second behind compatriots Oksana Kazakova and Artur Dmitriev at the 1998 Nagano Olympics.
"We have won every major trophy as amateurs, so it became really difficult to motivate yourself," Berezhnaya said.
"Money-wise it was also difficult to remain in the amateur ranks because it was getting harder and harder to find sponsors."
The duo's coach Tamara Moskvina said: "It was their decision and I respect it. But, there are some good young Russian pairs still competing and I'm sure our country will remain a major force in pairs competition for years to come."
Berezhnaya said the bitter taste of the 2002 Olympics had no bearing on their decision.
"Well, it's history now. It left a bad taste in our mouth for a few months after the Games, but it's over now," she said.
"We are still the Olympic champions and nobody can take our gold medals away from us," she added.
"We feel we deserved it and we're heroes in our country. I'm sure the Canadians feel the same way about their skaters."
Berezhnaya said the pair would skate a farewell performance in St Petersburg to commemorate the city's 300th anniversary on June 7.
这可以坚定申雪她们练下去的决心。
不过还是很怀念B&S那么多的经典节目，虽然说她们在职业比赛里仍然可能会滑出很好的节目，但是那和世锦赛奥运会上的表演是完全不一样的。 可是s/z也坚持不了多久了.况且俄罗斯力捧t/m,双方互有胜负,今后的事还很难说. 我想。他们滑到2006年是不成问题的，不过B/S的退役真的是双人滑项目的一大损失。我们只能期待在以后的表演中再次回味他们动人的节目了。 不知道，将来能否看到B/S在6月7日，纪念圣彼得堡建城300周年的告别演出。我想，或许今年晚些时候，CCTV会播出演出的实况的。 B/S是G/G后双人滑中比较突出的一对。尊重他们的选择。S/Z也有他们的独到之处，不过真要坚持到06年，年龄确实是大问题！而T/M最大的优势就是年龄。 希望S/Z可以坚持并保持良好的状态
希望P/T可以在最近的赛季成长起来,和S/Z形成团体优势 curious_f [转帖]别列日娜娅/西哈鲁利泽退役
俄罗斯著名花样滑搭档、2002年盐湖城冬奥会双人滑冠军别列日娜娅/西哈鲁利泽26日召开新闻发布会，宣布在今年6月正式退出业余比赛，他们将转为职业选手。
这对搭档解释说，之所以选择这个时间退役，是因为6月将举行圣彼得堡建城300周年的盛大庆祝活动，而6月6日将在滑冰馆举办一场国际花样滑比赛。他们认为，作为圣彼得堡培养出来的选手，这是他们报效家乡的最好方式，自然也是退役的最好时机。
在盐湖城，别列日娜娅/西哈鲁利泽战胜加拿大选手获得冠军，但后来国际滑联改判加选手塞尔/佩尔蒂埃为双人滑并列冠军。
我能够问问题吗~~~？不好意思 职业和业余是什么关系啊~~ 职业的选手就是主要以表演为主，和演员一样，有出场费，而且他们比赛也是以表演为主，没有什么很明确的规则，更主要的是，他们不能参加奥运会。
其实除了少数像冰球、篮球、网球这样的项目，职业选手是不允许参加世界锦标赛和奥运会的，花样滑冰选手也不例外。业余选手吗，可以参加世界锦标赛和奥运会，也可以在国际滑联允许的情况下，参加一下商业演出。论技术水平，业余的要好的很多，但在表演上，能成为职业选手的都是取得过世界大赛好成绩的，他们更注重表演，演绎各种流行的、前卫的音乐。 原来是这样啊~~我就是一个网球迷~~所以没有这些概念~~呵呵
谢谢这位哥哥 给予了我好多帮助 你太客气了！
我觉得你对音乐相当有造诣，是否史学过音乐的？你上高二了？那应该好好学习了！ 网球我已经很久不怎么看了，不过去年上海大师赛我是全程观看的。
以前上学的时候和一个关系很好的室友也玩过网球，他是底线，我是上网，呵呵～～～ 原来有这么多志趣想投的朋友啊激动以后有问题还得多多见教啊
关于音乐我是个音色主义者关于乐器法的东西我比较熟悉
其实也是自己学习的
好了很不好意思已经污染了版面
说实在的看到你们这么专业这么专一的贴子 我觉得很震撼 我很喜欢这里 我也很喜欢网球
但是我最喜欢的选手现在都不打球了
