Svetlana's older sister is a master of sports of international class acrobatic rock and roll. It is not surprising that the biography of Catherine from an early age is associated with sports.
For the first time, the future figure skater went on ice as a child, in 1994. The girl then was almost 4 years old. At first, Ekaterina Bobrova trained as a single, but soon the coaches advised their parents to pay attention to pair skating. And already in 2000, she began to engage together with the future partner Dmitry Solovyov.
Personal life
Personal life of Figureki Catherine Bobrova was happily. In 2016, she married Andrei Deputy, which until the summer of 2017 was also engaged in figure skating. Their love story is similar to a romantic fairy tale: for the first time athlete saw the future husband in the Russian figure skating championship. The deputy acted in the Junior Group (Andrey is a bit younger than spouse). He attracted the attention of Catherine with a pleasant appearance.For a while, future spouses did not cross. However, they got acquainted closer during the traditional departure of athletes in nature May 9th. Young people liked each other and spent the whole day. After that, a meeting in general companies, night messages and joint walks were followed.
A year later, Ekaterina and Andrei began to live together. After some time, the deputy made a bobrova offer, and the figure skater happily agreed. And then she shared with fans photos from the wedding, which posted in the Instagram account.
For registration to the registry office, young invited parents and close relatives. The celebration was celebrated in the Moscow Region Park Hotel "Orlovsky" in the presence of 80 guests, among which there were param partners - Vera Bazarov and Dmitry Solovyov.
Coach Alexander Zhulin asked for children to think only when the Olympiad in Korea passes, and Andrei "forbidden" to divorce. Usually, athletes say they do not want children to repeat their own destiny. Katya is not against sending a child in curly skating, if this desire it appears. In the summer of 2018, the couple was married.
Spouses prefer to relax on travel, love the sea. For an urban person, especially athlete, Katya believes, it is a chance to improve the lungs and restore the joints. Colorful snapshots in a swimsuit - like a bonus.
In April 2019, the figure skater first became a mother. She gave birth to a son, as reported by subscribers on the page in "Instagram". The boy was called Alexander.
After giving birth, the athlete slightly added in weight. Previously, she weighed 62 kg with a height of 166 cm, but she managed to quickly come into shape.
Figure skating
Since 2001, Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitry Solovyov began to participate in competitions together, but fate smiled at the figure skaters. Athletes had to survive a series of failures and failures, they changed coaches several times, and as a result, patience was rewarded. After a long searches, the couple came to train to Alexander Zhulin, who was able to raise the technique of skaters to a new step. And the tangible difference of partners in growth allowed to put artistically interesting programs that beat this "highlight".
In 2005, the success of athletes became noticeable and judges, and viewers: they took the 8th place at the country championship among their age categories. And after another year, Bobrova and Solovyov took the 1st place in the National Junior Championship. In the same season, the couple won on the World Cup among juniors.
In 2007, the skaters first performed in the older age group. The national championship this season brought a pair of only 3rd place, however, this can be called a serious application for success. In 2008, the pair of Maxim Shabalin and Oksana Dominna, which was supposed to speak from the Russian Federation at the World Championships, could not reach the ice. So, Catherine and Dmitry appeared a chance to present the country at competitions.
The speech of athletes was distinguished by good technique and artistry, but the young people still did not have enough experience, and the couple was awarded only the 13th place.
The next year also did not bring special awards: the speech at the national championship of the country was awarded the 4th place, so access to the World Championship in 2009 for a couple was closed. But the sports spirit did not allow figure skaters to lose heart. Ekaterina and Dmitry continued to train hard and even occupied the 5th place at the All-Russian Universiade.
The next season was more successful for beaver and Solovyov. The Russian Championship brought silver medals, and the European and world championships of Catherine and Dmitry rolled back in the top ten of the strongest.
A year later, the progress of the couple became apparent even to skeptics. The Russian championship brought a long-awaited gold figure skaters. In addition, partners won at the Russian stage of the world tournament and replenished a piggy bank with two silver medals obtained in the European and Chinese championships.
The next few years have become the flourishing career of Catherine Bobrova and her colleagues. The couple invariably occupied the 1st place in the Russian championship. Also, the skaters were submitted by Che, a tournament in Finland and the Russian Cup.
At the Olympics in Sochi in 2014, the speech of Catherine brought Russian to the Russians for the first time held team competitions. The figure skater remembered that I did not understand how to judge, consider points who rolling short, and who is arbitrary. About the highest dignity and did not think. When the medals were presented, everyone was shocked, because the American and Canadian premises had decent resistance.
2016 began successfully enough, but soon it became clear that the strip of luck for Catherine was over. The couple was preparing to shine at the World Championship, which was held in Boston. However, this presentation did not take place: in the blood of a beaver physician, the traces of Meldonia, prohibited to use athletes. It was disqualified for doping, an investigation began.
A month later, the International Union of the Kokscobets canceled disqualification. The volume of the drug was recognized by insignificant, besides, we took into account the long period of removal from the body.
In November 2017, figure skaters participated in the tournament, which was held in China. Initially, everything was intended successfully, but an annoying mistake committed by athletes in the execution of an arbitrary program did not allow to claim the championship gold. Catherine and Dmitry became third, the victory went to the French pair of Guillaume Sieron and Gabriella Papadakis. Ahead of the skaters was waiting for the next stage of the Grand Prix, which took place in the middle of November in Poland. The final competition took place in December in the Japanese city of Nagoya. Solovyov and Bobrova became bronze medalists.
The Olympic season of Catherine began with a victory on Memoriál Ondreja Nepelu, a record at the Head stage, the Bronze medal Audi Cup of China 2017. At the National Championship in St. Petersburg, Catherine and Dmitry's headset gave them to the tears of the coach and the 7th championship .
Che - 2018 in Moscow has become successful for the Russian team. Katya and Dima conquered silver, giving way to their permanent rivals - French Guillaume and Gabriella. Third became the Russian couple Ivan Bukin and Alexander Stepanov.
Phenchhan Bobrova went in the status of the captain of the figure skating team. In the short and arbitrary programs of the Command Tournament, Catherine and Dmitry became the third, which by the amount brought the national silver medal team. In the personal championship, the skaters remained without awards.
From participation in the championship of the planet in Milan, the couple refused: too much physical and mental strength was given to the Olympic Games in Korea. In addition, an athlete was removed and hanging skates on a nail, more time to give her husband and, finally, think about replenishing in the family.
Instead of renting Catherine in a pair with Maxim Trankov, the appearances of the skaters at the World Championships on the channel "Match TV" were commented by Alexander Stepanov and Ivan Bukina and a couple of Tiffany Zagorski - Jonathan Gureiro.
In August 2018, Alexander Zhulin spoke about the resumption of career skaters in the upcoming season, while the duet of Bobrova and Solovyov performed in the ice show Tatiana Navka "Ruslan and Lyudmila". However, the athletes did not force the events, although the coach also argued that the programs would raise quickly and also quickly pair would learn them. Despite this, the steps of the Grand Prix of Catherine and Dmitry missed.
In 2019, Ekaterina Bobrova officially announced the completion of the sports career. The figure skater said that she was doing it with joy in his heart, because a long stunning path was held.
The main reason for retirement is the birth of a son. Little Alexander requires a lot of attention. The figure skater admitted that she pays for a child for 23 hours a day, time for herself and the sport was not enough.
Ekaterina Bobrova now
Nevertheless, the athlete did not quit his life. Now she gives master classes in figure skating. For example, on September 3, 2020, he trained the participants of the project "Moscow Longevity" in the Hermitage garden. Classes took place for mercury music, so all participants received the charge of positive emotions. In addition, Catherine gave valuable advice, how older people prepare for the winter season.Bobrov was busy on set in the new season of the "Ice Age" show, which started on the first channel in early October. On the ice, the figure skater came out with the singer Vlad Sokolovsky. As rivals, no less famous participants acted as rivals, for example, Dmitry Solovyov and Olga Buzova, Roman Kostomarov and Regina Todorenko, Elena Ilyini and Vlad Topalov.
It is worth noting that the beaver has a good relationship with Sokolovsky. On September 24, the artist was 29 years old, and the figure skater congratulated him in "Instagram". She wrote a touching post in which he noted: I am glad that Vlad appeared in her fate.
Catherine did not remain away from the situation that is associated with the return of the figure skater Evgenia Medvedev to the former coach Eter Tutberidze. Bobrova believes that workouts from the Canadian mentor Brian Orser had a positive effect on his wife. The champion of Europe and the world during this time became more independent, learned another life, met the new rhythm of training. It is now difficult to say how the Medvedeva relationship with Tutberidze is being collapsed, because ETE Georgievna is the first case when the athlete of a high class goes away, and then returns.
