I will try to translate it to english.
A pair for the future? Niklas Hogner wants to take help from Russia.
Swedish figureskating has for a long time been without any pairskaters. Maybe the future is in Linköping and St Petersburg. Because Niklas Hogner and Angelica Pylkina wants to do pairskating for Sweden. He weights 95 kg and she 29 kg.
For many years Niklas Hogner has been in the juniortop in Sweden. He has done international competitions many times, without getting the big succes.
His inspiration and motivation began to go down. He wanted to do something more with his skating. Something like pairskating.
I thought that I had reached as high as I could in singelskating, but I didn´t want to wast 10 years of skating. My physic is much better for pairskating.
For being a singleskater Niklas i long and weight much. He is 186 cm long and weight 95 kg. - I have thought about singleskating for many years but never found any girl to skate with.
Maybe he has found his new partner now in 12 year old Angelica Pylkina. Angelica is a good singleskater who was number two in Swedich novice nationals up to 12 years old. She competed for the club KK Lutz in Örebro where here mother Nelly was the coach. Nelly has been a pairskater of high standard, and was number 4 in russian nationals and has been a coach ever since she quite., for both single skaters and pairs.
- Angelica is only 12 years old but she skates as good as a junior skater, Niclas says. Angelica is only 1.35 cm long and weight 29 kg.
Niklas and Angelica and Nelly and Niklas mother Marianne who is Niklas coach hope that the pairing will be. He is well aware of that Angelica only is in Linköping for a try out and there is some problems. Angelica and her mother can only be in Sweden until the 27th of april when there time in the country ends. Nelly with have a paper with her home with a contract to be coach in Linköpings KF.
Until now we have only heard good words about the pairing. The swedish figureskating association wants to help the team.
- The only problem now is that Nelly must have a residence permit to live in Sweden.
Angelica is only 12 years old and will be 13 in August and they can´t compete in the juniorclass until that year she will be 14 years old. So the pair has to wait until the beginning of next year to compete. There will be much practise on and of the ice for the pair before they can compete. They have only been together for a month so far. Both are unusal to pairskating and Niklas has already hurt his foot when they were practising the deth spiral and he has to be of the ice for some days.
Both of them are well aware of how much practise who is in front of them.
- Practise for 5 hours every day, Angelica says. Here coach in Russia was Alexei Urmanov, who was the 1998 olympic champion.
This fall she probably will practise for her mum in Linköping. And for many years her partner on the ice will be Niklas Hogner.
- Five to six years, Angelica says when we asked how many years it will take for them to be in the European top.
-Maybe our best time will be the olympics 2010, Niklas said laughing
Why not?
