Personal life [edit]

Marika Kilius, the daughter of a hairdresser, was built-in on 24 March 1943 in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen.^[1] In 1964, she married Werner Zahn, the son of a mill owner from Frankfurt am Main. The couple divorced, and Kilius too divorced her second husband. She has 2 children, Sascha and Melanie Schäfer, and as of May 2005, ii grandchildren.

Career [edit]

Kilius began as a singles skater just picked up pairs very early. Her outset partner was Franz Ningel. They placed quaternary at the 1956 Olympics and won the silver medal at the 1957 Globe Championships. Kilius was still a child when she was paired with Ningel, who was more than than six years her senior. By 1957 she had grown to be taller than her partner,^[2] which acquired bug on their lifts, and so the team dissever.^[3]

For a fourth dimension following her split with Ningel, Kilius competed in artistic roller skating as a singles skater. She was the Earth Roller ladies' champion in 1958.^[3]

Meanwhile, in 1957, Kilius began skating with Hans-Jürgen Bäumler under the tutelage of Erich Zeller. Between 1958 and 1964, they won the German Championships 4 times, European Championships half-dozen times and the World Championships two times. Their starting time World title, in 1963, followed cancellation of the 1961 event due to the crash of Sabena Flight 548 and a collision during their performance at the 1962 World Effigy Skating Championships that forced them to withdraw.^[3]

Kilius and Baumler too captured the silver medal at the Olympics twice, in 1960 and 1964.^[four] The skaters had signed professional contracts and skated as professionals with Holiday on Ice before the 1964 Olympics, a violation of their amateur status and strict IOC rules.^{[5] [half-dozen] [7]} In 1966, because the team had signed a professional skating contract before the 1964 Winter Olympics – against the rules at the fourth dimension – they were stripped of the medal.^{[5] [half dozen]} Every bit the New York Times reported, "prodded by two German members, the IOC "quietly re-awarded the West Germans their silver medals in 1987, 23 years after the Innsbruck Games, at an executive board meeting in Istanbul. The couple was accounted 'rehabilitated.'"^{[8] [9] [10]}

Kilius was voted the German female athlete of the twelvemonth in 1959.
