4.1.
Few Olympians have as many chances of winning an Olympic gold medal as the Ukrainian
born ice skater Aljona Savchenko. In 2002, she represented Ukraine with Stanislaw
Morozow. Then she started to represent Germany with Robinson Szolkovy. They took part in
three Winter Olympics together. At their first attempt, in 2006, they did not win a medal.
In 2010, the pair came 3rd but they felt disappointed. In 2014, in Sochi, Savchenko and
Szolkovy were the favourites. But again they won bronze medals. Their dream of winning
Olympic gold hadn’t come true.

4.2.
When Robinson Szolkovy decided to retire from skating, Aljona had to look for a new partner.
In 2016, she teamed up with Bruno Massot, a skater from France. However, a year later
Aljona twisted her ankle badly during training and this caused a long break in their
preparations for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. Another problem was that to
represent Germany, Massot had to change his nationality. He managed to pass the final test
to become a German citizen on 7th November 2017, shortly before the Olympics started.

4.3.
At the 2018 Winter Olympics, Savchenko and Massot skated their short programme to Caro
Emerald’s “That Man”. Their performance, however, was not perfect, because at one point in
the programme Bruno accidentally did a double jump instead of a triple. As a result, they lost
many points and after the first stage of the competition they found themselves in 4th place.
Aljona felt sad because it seemed that her dream of winning the Olympic gold medal had
very little chance of coming true.

 

4.4.
But the next day, Savchenko and Massot came back strong in their free programme,
the second stage of the competition. They made no mistakes this time, and amazed
the crowds with their beautiful choreography and difficult jumps and spins. Their score
was so high that they set a new world record. They managed to beat all the other pairs
and win the gold medal. Aljona could finally celebrate!
