Brian Chefchenko:
Brian had been skating since he was a little kid. He had always been the protégé of his family. Being an only child, Brian knew what it felt like to have everything. So when he told his parents that he wanted to ice skate, professionally, they signed him up for ice skating lessons and so his career began. His first partner was great. Four six years they skated together until he had hurt himself in training. Since then, he has gone through ten partners. None have ever last as long as his first partner did and none had ever stayed long enough to get into the nationals.
His coach, Andreas Ruschitschka, had hit the bottom of the barrel and he had only one person left to talk to. The only problem was, was that this skater had retired when she was twelve after a horrible accident at the Olympics. She and her brother Ivan had been skating their final routine when tragedy hit. On the last trick, the Pamchenko, she had been coming down and her skate had hit her brother in the neck, killing him instantly and putting her into the hospital. She had gone into retirement after that, never skating for money again, only for exercise. Andreas would be heading to her school in a few days to convince her to come back out of retirement and into the competitive world of skating. If she accepted, she would be skating her way back to the Olympics and Brian would finally get the Gold Medal he has always dreamed of.
Brian knew it was a long shot. He also knew who Andreas was trying to get for his knew partner. Could he work with her? Would she be able to overcome her troubled past in order to get him the Gold Medal? And most important, would she be willing to try the Pamchenko trick again? They both knew how difficult it would be if she accepted his proposition. And Brian knew she probably wouldn't leave the comfort of her school to practice which meant Brain and Andreas would be heading there instead and be working on a lake and not a private skating rink.
This was going to be a long run and neither Brian nor Solana knew what would happen if she accepted? Neither Brian nor Solana knew what would happen if the Pamchenko was put into their routine. Would her skate hit his neck and kill him like it did her brother? Or would they be able to pull it off?
