Sergey Slavnov: biography and photos

Famous figure skater Sergei Slavnov on his ownexperience has proved that in sports there are no easy victories. Only daily training and dedication helped him to achieve high rates on the ice. His path to fame was difficult and thorny, but he proudly overcame all obstacles. He won awards at European championships, world tournaments, and at the beginning of his career became the first among juniors.

Biographical information

Sergey Slavnov is a native of the northern capital. He was born on April 11, 1982. The grandmother instilled love for the future skater. It was she who gave the four-year-old grandson skates. Then she wrote him into a group of figure skating and the boy began to spend hours on the ice.

Sergey Slavnov, whose biography is a wholea kaleidoscope of events and fateful meetings, very soon realized that in sports you need to be a real fighter. Very soon his temper began to be tempered: after training his body and legs "decorated" with hematomas, but he tolerated and continued studies.

Carier start

Sergey Slavnov began to perform on the ice together with Julia Karbavskaya. Couple with her athlete, he won silver medals at the 2002 World Junior Championships.

However, after this brilliant victory skaterchanged his partner. Now he began to ride with the fragile and tiny Julia Obertas. Soon the pair became popular and huge merit in this belonged to coach Velikova. Colorful programs and filigree technique turned Sergei and Julia into the brightest duet. They talked about him not only in our country, but also abroad. Sergei Slavnov, together with Obertas, represented Russia at European and world championships. Their high skill could not go unnoticed: they were awarded medals many times.

The couple decided to change the mentor. Sergei Slavnov (figure skater) and Julia Obertas began to train with Tamara Nikolayevna Moskvina. For three years she worked with a star pair, but no serious success was achieved: the 2005-2006 season was a failure and the athletes once again returned "under the start" of Lyudmila Velikova.

Injuries

In 2007, Slavnov and Obertas were supposed togo to the World Cup, but the skaters having problems with health prevented their plans and Sergei was forced to lie on the operating table. It was necessary to urgently remove appendicitis. Some time later Julia got serious injuries and in the career of the star couple the period of calm began: Obertas and Slavnov were forced to miss a number of important competitions. To somehow support colleagues in the shop and give them the opportunity to get in shape, the famous skater Evgeni Plushenko invited Yulia and Sergei to perform in his show.

End of career

Perform at the most important competitions, the duet Slavnov - Obertas after the injuries will not be any more.

This was announced by skaters in the 2007-2008 season. But they gladly accepted the invitation to participate in professional shows and show their skills in entertainment TV shows on the ice. After some time Julia will become the wife of Czech figure skater R. Gorak and will ride with him abroad.

Sergei Slavnov in the fall of 2008 became a participant in the television project "Star Ice", where he met actress Anastasia Zadorozhnaya.

Life after the "big sport"

Currently, an experienced and venerable skater is notskating on ice in any competition, although he has a huge potential for this. The reasons why Sergey Slavnov left the big sport are unknown.

In 2010, talking with the sharks of the pen, he suddenly announced that he was returning to the ice arena, but further than the words it did not go.

And he could: age and health allowed ...

Personal life

The skater first fell in love with his partnerObertas. Sergei Slavnov, whose personal life develops in a peculiar way, even wanted to tie himself up in marriage with Julia. But then in their relationship came the crisis and Obertas jumped in marriage to a skater-foreigner.

The second time the cupid's arrow struck Slavnov,when he met the actress Anastasia Zadorozhnaya on the television show "Star Ice". He handed the girl a card, so she put her autograph on it. After that, friendship broke out between them.

The press writes that today Sergei and Nastya are no longer together. But Zadorozhnaya itself states that they decided to pause the relationship, now they live in different cities.
