Biography
Among the Russian couples in figure skating Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov are especially highlighted. Despite youth and small experience in international competitions, young people are promising and ambitious, and there are already many serious awards and achievements.Childhood and youth
Evgenia Maksimovna Tarasova was born in Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan, December 17, 1994. She grew in an incomplete family: Girl's parents broke up shortly after her birth. The mother and grandmother of the figure skaters brought up Eugene and her sister alone, without male participation. Now women live in a small village of Derbushka in the suburb of Kazan. The grandmother athlete wanted girls to engage in ballroom dancing, but there was not a single vocational school in the city.
In addition to the secondary school, the girl was engaged in sports school No. 1 of Kazan, and the future champion in the classroom of the sports profile studied. In early childhood, Eugene and sister rode on the small stadium "Rocket" in the village of Derbushka, where she noticed her future coach and pointed her mother to certain abilities of his daughter.
So a 4-year-old figure skater began training in a sports school. Considering that Tarasova's mother brought up two daughters, she had to pay a lot of time, and Eugene often waited a mother in the school corridor after graduation. Once a girl sitting in the corridor after classes, Gennady Sergeyevich Tarasov (Samelights of the athlete, but not a relative) noticed the Honored Trainer for Figure Catania.
By that time, Gennady Sergeevich, who had already raised one world champion among young people Alexander Fadeev, an experienced eye recognized promising children. Therefore, when a fragile Eugene fell in the field of view, he, without hesitation, took her to his group, although there were older children. So the young athlete has a tense schedule: in the morning class at school, then two workouts per day.
The girl was only 11 years old when the first coach of Gennady Sergeevich Tarasov died. Eugene began to train under the leadership of Vyacheslav Dmitrievich Golovleva.
Personal life
Issues of journalists about the personal life Eugene carefully bypass in all interviews. Considering that most of the time the girl spends on ice in the Society of the figure skating partner Vladimir Morozov, often suspected of intimate relations, except workers.The couple did not refute the rumors, and after participating in the 2018 Olympic Games, Eugene made a statement that they broke up with Vladimir. From this point on, figure skaters are associated with professional obligations. Also, the girl was attributed to the novel with another athlete Fedor Klimov.
Considering that the first pair of the Russian national team of figure skating Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov created a family and will soon become parents, Eugene focuses on taking leadership positions. Because of the serious load on training and competitions, Eugene does not plan to marry and make children, given how important the physical form for a female figure skater. Now Tarasova has a sharp figurine with a rise of 158 cm.
Despite the tight workout schedule, in the biography of the figure skater there are other pages, except for work. So, the girl is a student, in his free time he listens to music, reads books, loves to cook. In addition, the girl intensively monitors the television project "Children on Ice". Judging by the photo of the athlete from "Instagram", a summer vacation girl spends both abroad and in his homeland.
Evgeny's free time spends surrounded by his friends-skaters. So, in the summer of 2019, the company, which entered Yuri Vlasenko, Elizabeth Tuktamysheva, Evgenia Tarasova and Andrei Lazukin, visited the sea coast.
Figure skating
Even in the youth, Evgenia Tarasova confidently entered the number of the most famous figure skaters in the Republic of Tatarstan, and soon became a member of the youth team of Russia. At the age of 14, the girl could already boast of the fourth place in the Youth Tournament of the Grand Prix for Single Figure Skating, which took place in Belarus.
A year later, Eugene ranked 12th on the championship of the Russian Federation. In 2010, Tarasova decided to leave solitary skating and began to work in a couple with Egor Cudin. For the same reason, the athlete moved to Moscow.
At that time, Egor just searched for a partner, a young man liked the promising Eugene, and he called the girl to Moscow, where the children trained Nina Mikhailovna Moser. Given the young age of the girl, she lived in the Olympic reserve school and even at a distance was under the closer control of the mother and grandmother.
In just a year, a young couple of skaters have already entered the team of Russia. But by the end of 2011, Evgenia and Friend sorted ways. Chudin focused on commercial ice shows, and Evgenia dreamed of achievements in great sports. Therefore, in 2012, Eugene changed the partner, and the coach. Together with Vladimir Morozov, Eugene will have to go a long and difficult path to success under the leadership of the Honored Coach of Russia Stanislav Morozov.
Already in the near winter season of 2012-2013, Russian figure skaters took the Warsaw Cup and earned silver at the Russian Championships among the young men. The first to participate in the Russian Championship among adults brought the guys 5th place.
In 2013, the couple who experienced himself in Russian competitions went to the World Championship, where he confidently took the fifth place, but at international sports competitions among students held in Italy, Eugene and Vladimir won their first silver medals.
The Russian Championship, which followed the universal, became a virtually failure of a couple of hopes. Vladimir and Eugene are tired of exhausting training and were not ready for serious competitions. According to the results of the short program, the couple confidently walked the third, but the preparation for an arbitrary program was insufficient: frost fell twice himself, and at the end and dropped Evgeny at all. The guys turned out to be the last in the ranking.
But a month later, the couple won gold at the Russian youth championship, and then silver on the youth world championship. After graduating from the season, Eugene and Vladimir changed the coaching staff, returning to Alexander Hekalo, with whom she worked before, and starting working with Robin Scholkova from Germany.
The first competitions under the leadership of the new coaching composition was the Nebelhorn Trophy 2014 tournament, where the pair showed the best results compared to the last season, and in October-November 2014, the guys earned silver medals at the Grand Prix, held in Canada.
High results on the Russian Grand Prix, despite the number of mistakes made, allowed Tarasova and Morozov to enter into the Russian national team skating team. At the European Championship, held in Stockholm, the guys won the third place, and at the World Cup for figure skating, which was held in China, were only in the sixth place.
In the Figure Skating Tournament in Canada in the 2015-2016 season, Russian figure skaters received silver medals, but due to the defeat in the Russian figure skating championships in 2016, the couple did not take place this season at the European Championship, held in Slovakia, but in The World Championships occupied the fifth place.
In the season 2016-2017, Evgenia Tarasova entered the wonderful physical form configured to victory. The hopes of the figure skater were justified by the fall of 2016, when the guys took the first place at the international competitions The Ondrey Memorial. At the America's Cup, the Russians won bronze, and on Trophée de France - silver. The second place allowed the guys to go to the final of the Grand Prix of Europe, where Eugene and Vladimir confidently took gold medals.
In 2017, Tarasova and Morozov's results also did not stop pleaseing the fans. In the spring, the guys received the third place at the World Championships, held in Finland. But the year was overwhelmed by Evgeny's trauma, which the girl received in training. And also passed months after surgery on the leg, like Tarasova and Morozov won silver at the World Team Championship.
International Competitions Nebelhorn Trophy Season 2017-2018 brought Evgenia and Vladimir the next gold medals.
The 2018 Olympics in Korea developed successfully for a couple in the team competition - the skaters won silver. Already on February 14, as part of the personal championship after renting a short program, the Russian couple became the second, but everything decided on February 15, 2018 after an arbitrary program.
Unfortunately, Morozov and Tarasova's rental was not so smooth, the couple made several blots and mistakes, which allowed them to take only 4th place. Great Tatyana Tarasova later commented on the speech of the pair.
Victory at the two stages of the Grand Prix helped a pair to get into the final of the competition and become owners of bronze. Russian figure skaters gave way only to the French couple Vanessa James - Morgan Sipre and the Chinese Peng Cheng - Jin Yang. The Russian Championship also ended with the victory - the second time in a row, the guys honored gold. The European and World Championship Tarasov and Morozov completed at the second stage of the pedestal.
In 2019, Tarasova and Morozov moved to the United States, where they train under the leadership of Marina Zueva. The pair has not yet gained the peak of the form, so the results of the speeches of the current season were contradictory.
For the first time in 4 years in the sports career Tarasova and Morozov, a failure occurred: the couple could not gain enough points to get into the Grand Prix final - 2019. And this is despite the fact that in Canada, as part of the second stage, they managed to make a brilliance. number and become owners of bronze. At the final stage, in Japan, the skaters failed to make their way to the prize, giving way to competitors from China, Canada and Russia.
Despite failure, the beginning of the 2019/2020 season was remembered by their fans of a bright short program to Maurice's music Ravel "Bolero" and an arbitrary program on the composition of TE AMO Umberto Totszi.
And in December, a couple brilliantly coped with the "Bolero" number, gaining a record 83.91 points at the Russian championship. A month before that, the world record installed the Chinese pair of Sui Wanjin - Han Tsung at the Grand Prix stage in Sapporo (81.27 points).
Nevertheless, the result of Russian athletes was not ratified, as the National Championship passes without the participation of the International Skating Union (ISU). Lifting in an arbitrary program of Alexander Boykova - Dmitry Kozlovsky, the athletes occupied the 2nd place.
