For the first time, Zagorski hit the rink with the father - the dance coach when she was five, and no years, and days. In three years, Bogdan Zagorski put the daughter on skates already consciously. The girl started, as taken, from solitary ride. But when in the eight of the age, she performed at the competition, it realized that the dancing on ice was much more and more interesting.
Parents always supported the daughter, directed it and comforted when something did not work. For this, the figure skater is very grateful to them and argues that it is obliged to successes more than his father.
Personal life
Tiffany lives in Moscow and in his free time studies surroundings. Especially the girl like the area of Metro Station "Mayakovskaya" and China-city - resemble France. The first time after arrival, not knowing the language of Zagorski lived in the Jonathan family, which the figure skater now considers his native.The guy has become a translator and friend. Over time, the surrounding began to take full understanding for something more. But the guys are not going into details.
In 2016, the epic ended with Tiffany Russia's citizenship, which the new Russian woman emotionally told on the page in "Instagram" and demonstrated a photo of the passport.
In the social network, Zagorski often publishes snapshots from speeches, as well as photos with close friends and relatives, photos, captured during the rest, including in a swimsuit.

Figure skating
When the first serious results began to appear, the mother brought Tiffany to Lyon to the famous coach, the France champion Muriel Zazui and Roman Hagenauer, who robbed famous champions of the Olympiad Marina Anisin and Gvedal Paizera. Zagorski put a couple with a Fillet field, but the partner soon completed his career due to injury.
With the new partner Alexis, Mair Tiffany achieved essential results: in the 2010-2011 season, the silver medal has won a silver medal at the stage of the Grand Prix among juniors and at Lyon International, the Bronze - in the Junior France Championship and won at the same stage NRW Trophy. The next season, the pair was submitted by the pedestal of an adult national championship, on which Zagorski and Mair became third.
After failure at the European Championship Alexis left the sport. Tiffany changed four more partners, continued to workout, so as not to lose the form. In 2014, general friends introduced an athlete with Jonathan. By the time, his former partner Ekaterina Ryazanov chose to ride with Ilya Tkachenko, and it did not work from the new contact.
At the same time it was the decision that the coach of the new pair should be the best specialist. The choice was unequivocal - Alexander Zhulin. And in the fall of the same year, the first performance at the Russian Cup took place. On this tournament, the panels - Gureiro eventually won gold medals twice again.
By the way, the guys still at the time of adults heard that there would be a good couple from them. But then everyone had their own partner, and these conversations quickly forgot. Now Tiffany frankly admits that only pleasure gets from joint skating. The only complexity is support, since the high growth for the dancer in 175 cm does not allow spinning where it wanted.
In the international arena, figure skaters debuted in Bratislava, at the Tournament from the "Challenge" series, which won. By the end of the year, the fifth place was taken at the Russian 2015 Championships. At the same time, in the course of the Tiffany season and Jonathan changed the program, from the already delivered arbitrary returned to the old, since they considered that the images and music were not enough.
Season 2015/2016 gave figure skaters Silver Cup Warsaw Cup and two bronze - from the Memorial Ondreya Nepha and the Finelandia Trophy tournament. This time everything was not easy. They played the role of injury, illness, problems with the French federation of figure skating were added to them. Despite the fact that Tiffany did not speak for France for three years, the federation delayed the issuance of special disasters. Without the relevant documents, the speech did not even go about internal competitions, not something about international.
In 2017, Zagorski and Gureiro changed the coaching team - they switched to Svetlana Alekseeva and Elena Kustarova. The former mentor on this occasion was spoken in the key that the athletes did not want to stay at third roles. Zhulin then trained the leading pair of Catherine Bobrov and Dmitry Solovyov, later, Victoria Sinitina and Nikita Katsalapov joined them. In such conditions, Tiffany's leaders surrounded by leaders and Jonathan were not ready to work more, the coach said.
In turn, the skaters said that in the new team there are completely different emotions and feel comfortable. Especially since Jonathan has previously trained in this group. Nevertheless, the athletes are grateful to Alexander Zhulin because he with his tranquility and softness helped to pass a difficult period of adaptation and "ruts". Gureiro joked that if a subtle-sensing partner immediately got into a group to Alekseeva, he would soon go home.
In December of the same year, the pair of Zagorski-Gureiro won the Bronze Award of the Championship of Russia and the right to perform at the European Championships. Debut for a pair Continental championship Jonathan and Tiffany ended in the sixth place.

They decided that they wanted to work with Christopher Dean again (before they had already been able to cooperate with him). This time this proposal came from Dina himself, the couple immediately went to him, and 2 weeks passed the rehearsal of arbitrary dance.
In early 2020, Tiffany with a partner waited a difficult period, since the pair had to show all the skills in several stages of the European Championship.

The long-awaited 1st place went to the Russians Victoria Sinitina and Nikita Katsalapov, silver took the French duet Gabriely Papadakis and Guillae Sizeron, and 3rd awarded Alexander Stepanova and Ivan Bukin.
