Please note the wiki and recent discussion in
this thread which indicates a "special treatment" of the second year if the Elite status has been granted through a status match: In order to renew your Elite status for 2 more years (i.e. year 3 and 4), you need to collect 37,500 status miles in your upcoming second year - the 15k miles from your first year
do not count.
This is a special treatment particularly for the second year.
Once you have collected these 37,500 miles, your Elite membership will be renewed for 2 more years and then follow normal (re)qualification rules as outlined here:

Thanks!
Indeed still in the first year. Too bad the 15,000 miles do not count - but the 37,500 should be doable. Just one thing I could not find back in the link/wiki, is whether 2nd year also has the requirement of TK flights only for those 37,500 miles? It would be much easier if flying other *A airlines would count too.
