    Start of sporting career
    He began skating in 1983 at age four. (ISU, 23 Sep 2013)

    Reason for taking up this sport
    "It was by coincidence. We were at an airport that had an ice rink. I dropped in to try it and liked it. I changed to pairs when I was 16 because I couldn't see a future in singles. I had difficulty with the harder triple jumps." (Skate Today, 27 Feb 2005)

    Ambitions
    To win gold at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. (faz.net, 02 Apr 2012)

    Training
    Along with skating partner Aliona Savchenko, he trains 18 hours a week in the high and low season. During the low season they divide their training time between Chemnitz and Dresden, both in Germany, and in the high season they are based in Chemnitz. (ISU, 13 Dec 2013)

    Hero
    US figure skater Brian Boitano. (eislauf-union.de, 30 Apr 2009)

    PARTNERSHIP
    His regular skating partner is Aliona Savchenko. They teamed up in 2003. Previously he had skated with Johanna Otto and Claudia Rauschenbach. (ISU, 23 Sep 2013)

    NATIONAL FIRSTS
    He and Savchenko's bronze medal in the pairs at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games was the first Olympic medal by a German skater for 12 years. They became the first German skaters to win a world title in 11 years when they won the pairs in 2008. (ISU, 23 Sep 2013)
