The famous skater Sergey Slavnov, on his own experience, proved that there are no easy victories in sports. Only daily training and determination helped him achieve high performance on 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 he became the first among juniors.
Curriculum Vitae
Sergey Slavnov is a native of the northern capital. He was born on April 11, 1982. Grandmother instilled a love of sport for the future skater. It was she who gave the four-year-old grandson skates. Then she recorded him in a figure skating group and the boy began to disappear for hours on ice.
Sergei Slavnov, whose biography is a whole kaleidoscope of events and fateful meetings, very soon realized that in sports you need to be a real fighter. Very soon his character began to harden: after training, his body and legs “decorated” hemotomes, but he endured and continued his studies.
Carier start
Sergey Slavnov began performing on ice with Julia Karbavskaya. Together with her athlete, he won silver medals at the 2002 World Junior Championships.
However, after this brilliant victory, the skater changed her partner. Now he began to ride with the fragile and petite Julia Obertas. Soon the couple became popular and a great merit in this belonged to the trainer Velikova. Colorful programs and stunning technique turned Sergey and Julia into the brightest duet. They started talking about him, not only in our country, but also abroad. Sergey Slavnov, together with Obertas, represented Russia in European and world championships. Their high skill could not go unnoticed: they were awarded medals many times.
The couple decided to change their mentor. Sergey Slavnov (skater) and Julia Obertas began to train with Tamara Nikolavna Moskvina. For three years she worked with a star couple, but could not achieve serious success: the 2005-2006 season was a failure and the athletes returned “under the start” of Lyudmila Velikova again.
Injuries
In 2007, Slavnov and Obertas were supposed to go to the World Cup, but the skater's health problems interfered with their plans and Sergei was forced to lie down on the operating table. It was urgent to remove appendicitis. After some time, Julia suffered serious injuries and a calm period began in the career of the star couple: Obertas and Slavnov were forced to miss a number of important competitions. In order to somehow support colleagues in the workshop and give them the opportunity to get in shape, the famous skater Evgeni Plushenko invited Julia and Sergey to perform in his show.
Career ending
To perform at the most important competitions the duet Slavnov - Obertas after injuries will no longer be.
This was stated by the skaters in the 2007-2008 season. But they gladly accepted the invitation to participate in professional shows and show their skills in entertaining television shows on ice. After some time, Julia will become the wife of the Czech figure skater R. Gorak and will ride with him abroad.
In the fall of 2008, Sergey Slavnov became a member of the Star Ice television project, where he met actress Anastasia Zadorozhnaya.
Life after the "big sport"
Currently, an experienced and venerable skater does not skate on the ice as part of any competition, although he has great potential for this. The reasons why Sergey Slavnov left big sport are unknown.
In 2010, communicating with the sharks of the pen, he unexpectedly announced that he was returning to the ice arena, but things did not go beyond words.
And he could: age and health allowed ...
Personal life
The skater first fell in love with his partner Obertas. Sergey Slavnov, whose personal life is developing in a peculiar way, even wanted to bind himself by marriage with Julia. But then in their relationship a crisis came and Obertas jumped out to marry a foreign skater.
For the second time, the cupid’s arrow struck Slavnov when he met actress Anastasia Zadorozhnaya on the TV show “Star Ice” . He handed the girl a postcard to put her autograph on her. After that, a friendship began between them.
The press writes that today Sergei and Nastya are no longer together. But Zadorozhnaya herself says that they decided to pause the relationship, they currently live in different cities.
