Irina Slutskaya

Irina Eduardovna Slutskaya is a famous figure skater of Russia, TV presenter and actress. She has achieved extraordinary results in her sports career. Slutskaya twice climbed to the 1st place of the podium at the world championships, for the first time in the history of figure skating she won seven times at the European championships and won silver and bronze at two Olympics. Among her achievements, one can also distinguish a cascade of three jumps (triple salchow - triple rittberger).

The fate of the athlete was not only delightful victories, but also annoying defeats. Irina Slutskaya has demonstrated that she is able to perfectly take a blow and courageously fight against troubles. This can be judged by the fact that the famous athlete managed not to get lost after leaving the sport.

Irina Slutskaya is a native Muscovite. She was born in February 1979 into a family where her parents had nothing to do with sports: her father worked as a teacher in a college, and her mother worked as an engineer at a car plant until retirement.

When her mother took little Ira to the sports section of the Moskvich club, she did not pursue the goal of making her a famous figure skater. Ira was a sickly child, and her mother, by involving her in sports, decided to improve her daughter's health.

From the age of 4, sports training began for the future Olympic champion in women's single figure skating.

Then the potential of a capable girl was noted by Zhanna Fedorovna Gromova, who became the first coach of Slutskaya. Regular training, the perseverance of the athlete and the experience of the coach led Irina Slutskaya to her first serious victories.

The tough character and discipline allowed the girl to take prizes, starting with the junior international competitions. At the age of 17, Irina Slutskaya was able to become the first Russian athlete to achieve the title of European champion in figure skating.

This significant event took place at the 1996 World Championships in Sofia. Then the athlete won bronze at the World Championships. From that moment on, a bright streak began in the sports biography of Irina Slutskaya: the skater began her ascent to Olympic victories.

In 1998, Irina Slutskaya took part in the Olympic Games in Nagano, where she won 5th place. But the next year was not so successful in her sports career, since the skater was not included in the Russian national team, and she had to miss several championships. But then the bitterness from professional defeats was compensated by personal happiness.

In 2000, the athlete gradually began to regain the laurels of the winner of the highest world competitions. Irina Slutskaya not only paid attention to training, but also graduated from the Academy of Physical Culture in 2000. Already in 2002, the Salt Lake City Olympics allowed Irina to bring silver to Russia, she lacked only one point to get ahead of Sarah Hughes.

In the fate of the popular skater, successes were replaced by failures. The athlete's mother fell seriously ill, and she herself was forbidden to play sports due to problems with blood vessels: Slutskaya was diagnosed with vasculitis. But no misfortunes influenced Irina's desire to win. She coped with the disease and again went out on the ice.

In 2005, her native Moscow walls helped Irina Slutskaya to win gold again at the World Championship. The 2006 European Championship brought success to the skater: she won a record seventh gold.

In the same year, the Olympic Games were held in Turin, where Slutskaya was on the third step of the honorary prize podium.

By November 2006, the world famous Russian figure skater decided to leave professional sports and find herself in other activities. The result of her sports career was 40 gold, 21 silver and 18 bronze medals.

The end of her sports career did not become a starting point for Irina Slutskaya to forget: she found herself on television - as a participant in ice projects, a sports review host, theater and film actress.

For the first time, viewers saw Irina in an unusual capacity - in the role of co-host Marat Basharov - in the "Ice Age". Later, the former figure skater, together with Evgeni Plushenko, hosted the "Stars on Ice" show. And in the second season of the program, miniature Irina Slutskaya (with a height of 160 cm, her weight did not exceed 49 kg) appeared on the ice as a participant, taking Gedeminas Taranda as her partner.

In 2009, together with Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, the ex-athlete hosted the Ice Age - 3 show.

In 2007, Irina Slutskaya made her film debut: she starred in a cameo role in the film Three and a Snowflake. The Russians were also able to appreciate Slutskaya's acting work in the TV series "Hot Ice", where she appeared in the form of coach Anastasia Ivanova, and in the comedy musical "Good Deal".

In 2011, Slutskaya received the status of an ambassador for the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi 2014. In the same year, Channel One got a commentator on its staff: Irina Slutskaya leads sports news as a columnist.

Irina Eduardovna never forgets about sports, leads an active lifestyle and worries about young Russian talents. In August 2015, the Irina Slutskaya Figure Skating School was opened in Lytkarino. In an educational institution, pupils are engaged in three programs - primary, health and sports. The celebrity sees the purpose of creating the school to promote the traditions of the Russian figure skating school.

In 2017, a new project by Irina Slutskaya was launched - "Scandinavian Walking School" - for people suffering from diabetes. During the year, 10 institutions were opened in the Moscow region. The skater herself has long been a fan of this sport, which has practically no contraindications and allows you to develop up to 90% of all muscles.

Every year, the athlete organizes a summer figure skating camp, to which both children and adults are invited. Classes are conducted in several programs - for beginners and advanced students.

Often the name of Irina Slutskaya is placed next to the name of the famous football coach Leonid Slutsky. But there are no family ties between them.

In the fall of 2016, at the age of 37, Irina Slutskaya was elected a deputy of the Regional Duma from the United Russia party. She managed to demonstrate another facet of her personality - as a politician and a caring person with an active social position.

At the beginning of 2017, Irina Eduardovna came up with an initiative to create a department of physiotherapy exercises in one of the clinics of Yakutia. Her proposal was discussed and supported. Irina covers social and political activities on her personal account on Instagram. The athlete's official page contains posts about work and family.

The personal life of the athlete was happy. Irina Slutskaya is married to former boxer Sergei Mikheev. He saw his future wife on the TV screen and fell in love.

They met in a holiday home near Moscow, where Irina arrived with her friend for a couple of days. Then the athlete was still a young girl and was in no hurry to respond to the advances of the young man, but with his persistence and patience he won the heart of the skater. In August 1999, they formalized the relationship.

The couple became parents of two children. Son Artem was born a year after the end of his professional sports career, and daughter Varvara was born in 2010. Now the young man is engaged in hockey, and the girl has become the continuer of the work of a talented mother, although initially Irina saw Varya in rhythmic gymnastics.

The marriage of Irina Slutskaya and 8 years older, Sergei Mikheev, was considered by many to be exemplary. But there were rumors that the former figure skater, and now the deputy parted with her husband for a long time: they do not appear anywhere together. But next to Irina Slutskaya, they often see her assistant and general director of the Voluntary Physical Culture Union Alexei Tikhomirov. They are credited with a romantic relationship.

Neither Irina Slutskaya nor Alexei Tikhomirov confirm or deny the alleged romance between them.

Attentive subscribers to the pages of Slutskaya and Tikhomirov on the social network say that there are many common photos on their pages. At the same time, Irina's photographs of her husband cannot be found. Meticulous journalists also noticed that the wedding ring was missing on the woman's ring finger.

At the Muz-TV Prize, Irina Slutskaya was again accompanied not by her husband, but by her assistant Alexei Tikhomirov. And although the couple tried to keep their distance, they left the event together, which did not escape the attentive eyes of the visitors.

Irina's acquaintances told reporters that it was Tikhomirov who was engaged in PR for Slutskaya on the eve of the primaries in the Moscow region. When asked why Sergei Mikheev's husband is not visible next to Irina at social events, the woman replies that Sergei disgusts being in public.

In 2018, Irina Slutskaya launched the ice show “Fixies on Ice. Big Game ”, in which the main characters were the characters of the beloved animated series. Simka, Nolik, Fire, Igrek, Spula and Werta have to fight robots in a hockey match. During the performance, the fairy-tale people not only show the art of stick and puck control, but also demonstrate a cascade of the most complex elements.

The goal of the project, as conceived by Slutskaya, is to introduce children and parents to playing sports in order to attract young spectators to the ice. The premiere of the show took place in St. Petersburg, after which the creative team went on tour across Europe.

At the beginning of 2019, on the territory of the Dobrograd resort, not far from Vladimir, Slutskaya presented a new program "Endless Story", in which Tatyana Navka, Alexey Yagudin and pupils of figure skating schools of the Vladimir region became participants.

A feature of the production was the use of natural lake ice as a stage platform. The creators of the performance supplemented the solo and group numbers with a light show. This is not the first performance of figure skaters on the Vladimir land; at the beginning of 2018, Evgeni Plushenko and Adelina Sotnikova have already visited this place.
