Carolina Kostner (Italian pronunciation: [karoˈliːna ˈkɔstner]; born February 8, 1987) is an Italian figure skater. She is the 2014 Olympic bronze medalist, the 2012 World champion, a five-time European champion (2007–2008, 2010, 2012–2013), and the 2011 Grand Prix Final champion. She is also a medalist at five other World Championships (2005, 2008, 2011, 2013 - 2014), four other European Championships (2006, 2009, 2011, 2014), and three other Grand Prix Finals (2007, 2008, 2010), the 2003 World Junior bronze medalist, and a seven-time Italian national champion.

Personal life

Carolina Kostner was born in Bolzano, Italy and lives in Urtijëi (Ortisei/St. Ulrich), Italy. She is one of three children of Patrizia, a nationally ranked figure skater in the 1970s and later a geometric arts teacher,[1] and Erwin, who played ice hockey for the Italian national team at the World Championships and Olympic Games before becoming an ice hockey coach.[2] One of her grandfathers was the director of the Art Academy in her hometown.[1] She has two brothers, one year older Martin and three years younger Simon, who plays ice hockey competitively[3] in JYP-Akatemia in Jyväskylä, Finland. Kostner is the cousin and godchild of Isolde Kostner, a silver medalist in alpine skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics.[4]

Kostner speaks Ladin (a Rhaeto-Romanic language), German, Italian, English, and French.[2] In autumn 2007, she enrolled at the University of Turin. She studied art history mainly through correspondence courses.[5]

Kostner was formerly in a relationship with former Olympic race walking champion Alex Schwazer, who failed a dope test for Erythropoietin before the 2012 Summer Olympics , and was banned from competition for three and a half years by the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) in April 2013. Kostner admitted to prosecutors in Bolzano that she had lied to inspectors from the World Anti-Doping Agency shortly before the 2012 Games when they visited her home looking for Schwazer, claiming that he was not there so he could avoid being tested. She also told the prosecutors that Schwazer slept in an altitude chamber, which is not banned by WADA but is illegal in Italy. She subsequently failed to attend a hearing organised in September 2014 by CONI to investigate her comments to the prosecutors.[6] On January 17, 2015, Kostner was banned from competition for 16 months and fined €1,000 for her role in the Schwazer case.[7] Later, the expiration date of the ban was changed to January 1, 2016.[8]

Career

Kostner in 2004

Early career

Kostner began skating at age four.[2] She has said, "Half of my family on my Dad's side is in sports, and my mother's side is more involved in arts. For me, figure skating was a good mix of the two."[1] When a landslide destroyed her home rink[4] in 2001, Kostner chose to work with Michael Huth in Oberstdorf, Germany, about a four-hour drive from her home in Bolzano. She made her senior debut in the 2002–2003 season, finishing fourth at the European championships. Later that year, she became the first Italian skater to medal at Junior Worlds, winning a bronze.

2003–2006

In the 2003–2004 season, Kostner finished 5th at the 2004 European Championships and at the 2004 World Championships. In the 2004–2005, she finished 7th at the 2005 European Championships before beating Michelle Kwan for the bronze medal at the 2005 Worlds in Moscow.[9]

Kostner won her first European medal in 2006, and was chosen to be flag bearer for the host Italian team during the opening ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics.[10] At the Olympics, she placed 9th. The next month, at the 2006 World Championships, she placed 12th.

2007–2010

Kostner missed the 2006–2007 Grand Prix season due to injury. She won the Italian national title and went on to win her first European title at the 2007 European Championships.[11] She set a new personal best to finish third in the short program at the 2007 Worlds but faltered in the long program and finished 6th overall.[12]

During the 2007–2008 season, Kostner medaled at both her Grand Prix events and went to the Grand Prix Final for the first time. At that event, she won the bronze medal. She won her second European title at the 2008 Europeans after winning the short program and placing second in the free skate.[13] At the 2008 Worlds, Kostner won the short program and placed third in the free skate, winning the silver medal overall.[14]

Kostner performs at the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships.

In the 2008–2009 season, Kostner finished off the podium at her first Grand Prix event, 2008 Skate Canada, lost her European title to Laura Lepistö,[15] and finished 12th at the 2009 World Championships after a long program in which she failed to land a single clean triple. As a result, Italy qualified only one ladies spot for the 2010 Olympics.[16] After eight years of training with coach Michael Huth, Kostner made a coaching change in the summer of 2009,[17] relocating to El Segundo, California to work with Frank Carroll and Christa Fassi, the widow of the late Carlo Fassi.[18]

Kostner placed 6th in both of her 2009–10 Grand Prix events, the 2009 Trophée Eric Bompard and the 2009 Cup of China. In the middle of the season, she left Carroll but continued training with Christa Fassi,[19] and in Pinerolo, Italy with Edoardo De Bernardis. In December 2009, Kostner lost her national title to Valentina Marchei, which threatened her spot on the Italian team for the Vancouver Games, but the following month she rebounded to win gold at the 2010 European Championships, held in Tallinn, Estonia. At the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, she finished 16th overall after failing in most of her jumping elements in the free skate. She was able to finish the season on a better note by placing 6th at the 2010 World Championships, which took place in Turin, near her hometown. In 2011, Kostner said that her bad experience at the Olympics led her to question whether she should continue skating, but that she came to realize that she loved skating.[20]

Feeling homesick being far from home,[5] Kostner returned to Oberstdorf and resumed training with Huth in July 2010.[21]

2010–2014

For the 2010–11 ISU Grand Prix season, Kostner was assigned to the 2010 NHK Trophy and to the 2010 Skate America. During the season, she had a left knee injury.[22] As a result, she did not practice the flip and lutz until the end of 2010.[1] Nevertheless, she was the bronze medalist at Skate America and won the NHK trophy for the second time in her career. At the 2010–11 Grand Prix Final, Kostner placed second in the short program and fourth in the long, winning the silver medal. She also won the silver medal at the 2011 European Championships, where she had a difficult short program but won the free skate.[23] Between the Europeans and Worlds, she took part in the Gardena Spring Trophy, which she won. At the 2011 Worlds in Moscow, Kostner was sixth in the short program but won the bronze medal after a personal-best free skate. It was her first podium finish at Worlds since 2008 and her third overall; she had won her first Worlds medal, also a bronze, in Moscow six years prior.[24] After winning medals at all of her events in 2010–11, Kostner finished atop the ISU season standings.[25] She underwent physiotherapy and took a two-and-a-half month break from skating, returning to training in mid-July.[1]

As a top-six finisher at the 2011 Worlds, Kostner was allowed to compete in three Grand Prix events in 2011. She elected to do so and was assigned to Skate America, the Cup of China, and the Trophée Eric Bompard. She was the silver medalist at Skate America and won the Cup of China, thus becoming the first skater to qualify for the Grand Prix Final.[20] Kostner then won the silver medal at the Trophée Eric Bompard. In an interview after the event, she stated that her knee was fully recovered and her goal was to include more difficult jumps in the 2012 ISU championships.[1] Kostner posted season's-best scores in the short program (66.43) and the free program (121.05) to win her first-ever gold medal at the Grand Prix Final; her overall score of 187.48 was a new personal best.[26] She is the first Italian single skater to become a Grand Prix Final champion and the second overall after Barbara Fusar-Poli / Maurizio Margaglio, who won the ice dancing title in 2000.

Kostner won the 2012 Europeans, her fourth continental title in ten appearances at the event.[27] Her next competition was the 2012 International Challenge Cup, which she won by more than 26 points.[28]

At the 2012 World Championships in Nice, France, Kostner finished third in the short program[29] and first in the free skate with a new personal best score to take the gold. She became Italy's first World champion in ladies' singles and second in any discipline after Fusar-Poli / Margaglio in 2001.[30][31] Kostner's final event of the season was the 2012 World Team Trophy, where she competed as part of the Italian team. She set a new personal best score in the short program and placed third in the free skate, finishing 2nd overall.[32][33]

For the 2012–2013 Grand Prix season, Kostner was assigned to the 2012 Cup of China and the 2012 Trophee Eric Bompard. In July 2012, she said that she was considering retiring from competition[34][35] but on July 12, 2012 she stated that she had decided to continue competing until the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.[36] On August 2, 2012 her name was removed from the entry lists of both of her 2012–2013 Grand Prix events[37] due to insufficient time to reach competitive fitness.[38] On December 1, 2012, Kostner announced on her website that she would be competing in the 2012 Golden Spin of Zagreb. At the 2013 European Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, Kostner finished second in the short program and second in the free skate with a new personal best score to take the gold, her fifth title and her eighth consecutive European medal. She then won her fifth World medal, silver, at the 2013 World Championships.

In June 2013, Kostner began training for the 2013–2014 season in Oberstdorf.[39] She started her season competing at the 2013 Cup of China where she won the bronze medal and then won the silver medal at the 2013 Cup of Russia. In January 2014, Kostner announced she had changed her competitive programs. At the 2014 European Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Kostner won the bronze medal, her 9th podium in a row in the continental competition.

At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Kostner was in third place after the short program, with a score of 74.12, just 0.8 behind leader, and reigning Olympic champion, Kim Yuna of South Korea. She ultimately won the bronze medal after the free skate, with a total score of 216.73.[40] She later said, "That night at the medal ceremony was very emotional; it was a moment when the circle closed for me and my career. I felt I missed nothing in my competitive career anymore."[41]

One month later, at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama, Japan, Kostner placed second in the short program with a score of 77.24, her personal best and third result ever, setting the new world record in program component score with 37.46; then, after the free program, Kostner won the bronze medal overall, even though she was disappointed by her free skate (Kostner singled two of her jumps and fell on another jump).

2014–2016: Hiatus and suspension

In the summer of 2014 Kostner announced via social media that she would be taking a break from figure skating for the 2014-15 season.[42]

In January 2015, Kostner was banned from the sport of figure skating for 16 months for lying about her ex-boyfriend Alex Schwazer, reportedly to help him conceal his use of illegal performance-enhancing hypobaric chamber machine and to help him hide from a drug test.[43][44] On October 5, 2015, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced Kostner agreed to a demand by Italian doping officials to increase the suspension to 21 months but to backdate the start of the ban to April 1, 2014. Kostner was therefore eligible to compete from 1 January 2016.[45] In November 2016, it was announced that Kostner would return to competitive skating with Alexei Mishin as her coach. [46] She is listed to compete at the 2016 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb

Skating technique

Kostner is known for her speed across the ice, elegance, and interpretative refinement. She can land triple-triple combinations, including the triple flip – triple toe loop, as well as a triple flip – triple toe loop – double loop combination, and a double axel-triple toe loop combination. Kostner spins and jumps in the clockwise direction.

Endorsements and shows

Kostner's current and former sponsors[47] include Alto Adige/Südtirol, Asics, Grissin Bon, Lancia, Herbalife (from 2010–11 season), Torino Olympic park, and Roberto Cavalli (until 2009–10 season). Kostner's current and former official suppliers[48] include Maybelline, L'Oréal Professionnel, Fratelli Rossetti, Damiani, Swarovski, Iceberg and T-SHIRT T-SHOPS.[49]

Kostner designed her own costumes from 2010 to 2014.[41][50] She worked with Roberto Cavalli in 2005.[51] She performed in the show Winx On Ice[52][53] from November 2008 and in Opera on Ice, held in October 2011 at the Arena of Verona, which was broadcast simultaneously in 40 countries worldwide.[54]
