Robin Szolkowy Wins Gold Medal in World Figure Skating Championship



German figure skaters Robin Szolkowy and Aliona Savchenko won their second pairs world crown in a rout Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
Even an unexpected fall didn't keep Szolkowy, who mother is German and father Tanzanian, and his partner from winning the gold at the World Figure Skating Championships, reports the Los Angeles Times. "The Germans, dancing to music from the movie Schindler's List, had completed their difficult opening jump combinations and throws before Szolkowy lost his footing, but when they ended their program with a difficult throw triple salchow the crowd was appreciative."
