Timeline

1979

Robin Szolkowy (born 14 July 1979) is a retired German pair skater.

1983

Szolkowy began skating in Erfurt in 1983 after his mother saw an advertisement for a new skating rink.

Originally a singles skater, he switched to pairs when he was 16.

His first partner was Johanna Otto.

1997

In 1997, Szolkowy began skating with Claudia Rauschenbach, daughter of 1980 Olympic gold medalist Anett Pötzsch.

2000

After Aliona Savchenko, the 2000 World Junior champion (with Stanislav Morozov), told a German journalist she was looking for a partner, he spoke to German coaches and suggested Szolkowy, whom she recognized from a competition.

2001

Rauschenbach/Szolkowy won the German Junior National pair title three times and the 2001 senior German National pair title.

Their best result at the World Junior Championships was ninth.

Monika Scheibe coached the pair.

After Rauschenbach retired, Szolkowy was unable to find a new skating partner for a year and a half.

During this forced hiatus, he participated in synchronized skating in an effort to maintain some of his skills.

2003

In May 2003, Savchenko and Szolkowy had a successful tryout in Chemnitz, Germany.

Three months later, she relocated to Germany and the new team began training in earnest with former World champion Ingo Steuer as their coach.

When they first teamed up, they had to adjust to the fact that they had been taught different basics.

They also had communication difficulties — he spoke German and English while she knew only Russian.

Savchenko/Szolkowy worked mostly in Chemnitz, training twice a day, six days a week.

Ingo Steuer served as their coach, choreographer, skate sharpener, and music cutter.

Savchenko designed the pair's costumes.

When the Chemnitz ice rink was melted – generally from the start of April to mid-May – they trained in Dresden if they needed ice time during this period.

In their first season together, Savchenko/Szolkowy won the German National title.

2004

They made their international debut as a team at the start of the 2004–05 season.

2005

They again won the German National pair title, placed fourth at 2005 European Championships and sixth at the 2005 World Championships.

In the 2005–06 season, Savchenko/Szolkowy earned their first Grand Prix gold medal at the Skate Canada, placing first in both programs, and went on win the bronze medal in their first appearance at the Grand Prix Final.

After winning their third national title, Savchenko/Szolkowy took the silver medal in their second appearance at the European Championships.

They finished 7.79 points behind champions Tatiana Totmianina / Maxim Marinin.

Savchenko was granted German citizenship on 29 December 2005, making it possible for the pair to compete at the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Just prior to the Olympics, the National Olympic Committee of Germany decided to exclude their coach, Ingo Steuer, from the Olympic team due to his collusion with the Stasi.

After a court battle, he was granted accreditation.

Savchenko/Szolkowy finished sixth with 180.15 points.

2006

They also placed sixth at 2006 Worlds some weeks later, where they earned 170.08 points overall.

The German Ministry of Interior Affairs continued to put pressure on the German Skating Federation over the Steuer affair.

As a result, the pair's coach was denied accreditation for the upcoming competitions but the team challenged this in court and won.

2008

Although he had seen photos of his father, the two did not meet until March 2008, in Vienna, Austria.

2010

With partner Aliona Savchenko, he is the 2010 and 2014 Olympic bronze medalist, a five-time World champion (2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014), a four-time European champion (2007–2009, 2011), a four-time Grand Prix Final champion (2007, 2010, 2011, 2013), and an eight-time German national champion (2004–2009, 2011, 2014).

Savchenko and Szolkowy scored the first 10.0 ever given by a judge under the ISU Judging System.
