Adrian Alexander Konstantin Schultheiss (born 11 August 1988) is a Swedish figure skater. He is the 2006 Swedish national champion, the 2004–2005 Swedish junior national champion, and the 2006 Nordic Champion. He is the first Swedish skater to win a Junior Grand Prix event, which he did in 2005.
Career
Adrian Schultheiss was born in Kungsbacka, Sweden and began skating at the age of three.[1] He was the Swedish novice champion in 2002 before debuting internationally the next season. Schultheiss skated as a junior through the end of the 2008 season, although by 2005 he had already begun competing as a senior in some international events. In 2006, Schultheiss won the Swedish National championships. In 2007–08, he skated in both senior and junior events and finished a career-best 6th at the 2008 Europeans.[2] He was 13th at 2008 Worlds. The next season, he was 18th at both events.[3]
Schultheiss was selected to represent Sweden at the 2010 Winter Olympics based on his showing at the 2010 Europeans; he finished 15th at the Olympics. At the 2010 Worlds, he skated a strong long program with a quadruple toe loop to finish in the top ten for the first time in his career.[4]
Schultheiss is known for choosing unusual concepts for his programs, most notably his craziness-themed 2009–10 long program, which he skated wearing a straitjacket costume. He has stated that "it's more interesting and important when people try to make some difference from all points of view"[5] and that "if you watch the classical [music]... people get bored easy. You need variation. That's what I'm trying to show."[6]
Schultheiss is the first skater from Sweden to land a quadruple jump in competition, first at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and later at the 2010 Worlds.[citation needed]
Schultheiss parted ways with coach Evgeni Loutkov after 2010 Skate America and began working with Johanna Dahlstrand and Maria Bergqvist.[7] As part of his preparation for the 2011–12 season, he spent eight weeks in Delaware with coach Priscilla Hill.[8] He missed the Swedish Championships due to a back injury and underwent surgery the week before Christmas.[8]
