biography

Athletic career

Tanja Szewczenko started in figure skating for the Düsseldorfer EG , her coaches were Hugo Dümler, after her move to the Dortmund performance center Peter Meyer (until 1995) and Peter Jonas . In 1992 she had her first major international success when she won gold at the junior competition Cup of Blue Swords in Chemnitz . In 1994 she became German champion for the first time at the age of 16 and won bronze at the World Championships in Chiba, Japan, behind Yuka Satō and Surya Bonaly . In 1995 she defended her German championship title. At the European Championships , as in 1993 , she just missed a medal with fourth place. In 1996, Pfeiffer's glandular fever and a simultaneous Coxsackie virus infection forced her to take a break for almost two years.

In 1998 she became German champion for the third and last time and, despite an almond operation, won the bronze medal at the European Championships behind Russian Marija Butyrskaja and Irina Sluzkaja . Before the 1998 Olympic Games in Nagano , she was one of the extended favorites for a medal, but had to give up participation because of a flu virus. After further injuries and frequent cancellations, Szewczenko's sporting future was unclear since 1999. Her last competition as a figure skater was at the German Championships in January 2000 in Berlin, where she came third. A year later, on January 15, 2001, Szewczenko announced her official retirement from figure skating.
