According to anti doping specialist Hajo Seppelt, who was the one uncovering the Sotchi scandal, the girls are being given an assortment of pills especially during training camps without knowing exactly, what's in them...

Not in Germany. I just took Voltaren pills for Achilles tendonitis. But you are not supposed to take it longer than a week or regularly. Just short term for acute inflammation.

Since Karel Fajfr was allowed to coach again after beeing sentenced to two years on parole and three years of professional ban for sexual abuse, general abuse and assault, I'm not convinced. Fast forward to 2019 and he was accused of assault again. The parent only knew of his history after the...

It's not arbitrary though, if they follow through with the same rule for the rest of the decisions. They bumped up the skaters for the other two competitions.

He feels it. Even of he can‘t project it yet.

They have only had basically one off season to train and develop programs though. The focus is on the elements. They want to try other kind of programs in the future and Minerva said that she needs to get out of her comfort zone musicwise, though it will be difficult for her to relax into, say...

Watched an interview with them both and Minerva said, that it is a tight time frame, but with a realistic chance for 2026. He will start with proper German lessons after worlds.

True, but name one possible partner matching a 1.67 m woman with the option of obtaining German citizenship in time for the next Olys. He is a real find for her. What`s more surprising is, that he was competition ready so fast after only skating in shows.
