He was then also nominated for the 2009 World Cup , in which the Kazakhs played in Division I, and rose with his team to the top division thanks to five wins in five games. Savchenko had entered an elevator with his team, because the relegations from the top division at the 2010 , 2012 and 2014 World Championships were followed by immediate re-promotion at the Division I tournaments in 2011 , 2013 and 2015 .
