First of all I'm very thankful for this website, for giving the people interested in skating a chance to visit my site. I've been so surprised I've had so many people to the site that it's obvious people are pulling for my skating. I find that super cool especially when I get to read the comments people leave in the guest book. I find that very interesting. It also teaches me what they like to see and what they like me to do. That's the cool thing. I find things I would never think about. I'd really like to thank the fans for signing the guest book and for visiting my web site. The comments I've heard from people and from what I've seen this site was really done well, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Lisa for designing my Official web site.
Markus and Lisa, Gala 2001 Biography Senior Men's Figure Skater
IDOL as a child: Battle of the Brian's Brian B and O. Now its Kurt B. and Elvis. Recent interview reveals that the people who inspired Markus are still the same, the Brians when he was starting out, Elvis while he trained at Mariposa and Illia Kulik for overall skating package. With anything in life, your influences will change at different stages in life.
November 5th/01 Markus is featured in International Figure Skating Magazine. This clip is in the online version of the magazine. It gives great insight to what Markus has been up to. http://www.ifsmagazine.com/topstories2.html Mariposa Charity Gala Barrie Molson Center, Barrie, Ontario I think Markus has improved, you know, steadily over the time frame that he's been training here and with him its a little bit different from other skaters is you're not trying to make him go faster and jump higher, with Markus you're trying to make him slow down and jump smaller ...because he tends to fly around at mach 5 and jump too big for the control we're looking for in triple jumps. So it's a little bit different, we're always saying slow down, jump small, with most people here...speed up, jump higher." Coach Robert Tebby
