Ivan Skobrev

Ivan Aleksandrovich Skobrev is a Russian athlete, speed skater, bronze and silver medalist of the 2010 Olympic Games, winner of the gold medal at the 2011 World All-Around and European Championships. Honored Master of Sports of Russia.

Skater Ivan Skobrev, famous in Russia and in the world, was born on February 8, 1983, in Khabarovsk. Ivan's sporting future was predetermined by fate, because his parents were athletes. Mother - candidate master of sports in speed skating, head teacher at a sports school. And his father became Ivan's first coach.

The Skobrev family is friendly and cheerful. From childhood, parents took their son with them to training camps. Surrounded by athletes, the boy was formed as a person. For the first time Ivan started skating when he was three years old. Mom did not share her son's hobby, considering the interest in sports to be pampering. She knew the inside of sports life from experience, so she wanted her son to study. The father, on the contrary, was ready to give the last money so that the boy had good skates.

In addition to school, Ivan studied English and other subjects with tutors. The boy studied well, but already in childhood he decided that he would become an athlete. In 1997, Vladimir Vazhnin became Skobrev's coach. The instructor instilled in Ivan a love of speed skating and convinced the young man to stay on the ice and not go to volleyball.

When Ivan was 15 years old, his parents immigrated to America. Skobrev never considered himself abandoned: his parents supported him from across the ocean, and his godfather and godmother were always nearby.

From the age of 12, Ivan spent most of his time at training camps and competitions. The coach spoke of Ivan as a sociable and open guy. Life without parents is a serious test for a teenager, but this tempered Ivan Skobrev. The lack of control on the part of the parents did not relax the young man, but disciplined him.

Skobrev began to train seriously at the age of 12. At such a young age, the teenager has already won silver at the World Junior Championships. Best of all, Ivan was given distances of 500 and 1500 meters, as well as all-around. The future champion was coached by Alexander Kalinin. According to Ivan, the coach brought up the personality and the athlete at the same time. Training took place in Cherepovets, and then the skater moved to St. Petersburg.

In 2003, Ivan Skobrev won the Russian all-around championship. The athlete is confident that this victory has opened the way to the European and World Championships. In 2004, the Russian skater set a personal best at three distances at once and became the first among compatriots who finished in the top five. The European Championship was followed by the World Championship, in which Skobrev took 9th place.

In 2006, the skater as part of the Russian national team took part in the Winter Olympic Games in Turin. And again, Skorbev set a personal record, breaking 10 kilometers in 13 minutes.

In 2008, at the Winter Olympics in Canada, Ivan Skobrev won silver and bronze medals. After these victories, Ivan moved to the Italian coach Maurizio Marchetto and began to intensively prepare for the Sochi Olympics. Unfortunately, the skater did not manage to win prizes.

Participation in the Olympic team race was for Ivan the final event in his sports biography. After 2014, the skater no longer competed. In 2016, in Kolomna, where the World Cup was held, Skobrev officially announced the end of his sports career.

В сентябре 2014 года Иван Скобрев получил приглашение от продюсеров телепроекта «Ледниковый период» на участие в пятом сезоне. Напарницей конькобежца стала фигуристка Оксана Домнина. Передача проходила под руководством телеведущих, бывших участников проекта, профессиональных фигуристов Ирины Слуцкой и Алексея Ягудина. Председателем жюри конкурса выступила заслуженный тренер России Татьяна Тарасова. Тренерский состав соревнований по-прежнему составляли Александр Жулин и Илья Авербух.

A pair of Skobrev and Domnina from the first performances became the leaders. Each stage brought the artists the maximum number of points. Skobrev and Domnina performed to the music of Kais, A. German, Sting, A. Malin, G. Sukachev, showing mastery of skills in different genres. According to the scores received by the jury and the audience, Skobrev and Domnina took first place, beating Margarita Drobyazko and Stanislav Yarushin by only a few points. Alla Mikheeva and Maxim Marinin won the bronze.

The final performance of the project participants consisted of the numbers performed earlier, but Skobrev and Domnina surprised the audience by going on the ice in space suits, after which at the end of the performance they made a number of spectacular barefoot supports.

In 2015, the renowned skater tried his hand at the literary genre: Ivan Skobrev became a participant in the online readings of the works of A. P. Chekhov entitled "Chekhov is Alive."

Ivan is happy with his wife Yadviga Gorbova. The couple have two sons - Philip and Daniel.

The athlete met Yadviga as a teenager - both come from Khabarovsk. Like Ivan Skobrev, the girl was engaged in the skating section, where the young people met. Then the guy was 13 years old, signs of attention were reduced to how to call a girl with a ball. As they both matured, a serious relationship began. It was the first youthful love, but it continues, according to the skater, to this day.

Yadviga Gorbova showed sporting hopes - she won the Russian Junior Championship, dreamed of going to the Olympics in Turin, but left her career for the sake of her family. The girl entered the university and received a diploma in fashion designer. When Jadwiga was 23 years old, and Ivan 24, the young people moved to Moscow.

The first-born Philip was born in 2010, in America. Pregnant Yadviga was at the training camp with her husband, and training took place next to the clinic in which the girl was to give birth. In 2013, a second son was born.

The spouse is sympathetic to her husband's constant business trips, training camps and competitions. Before the birth of her sons, Yadviga always went with Ivan Skobrev to training camps and competitions. But soon it became impossible, sometimes a couple has to communicate on Skype. Yadviga Gorbova lives with children in the USA, in the state of Connecticut. Despite the long separation, the skater's family is seriously thinking about the third child. Ivan and Yadviga dream of a girl.

But Skobrev tries to spend holidays and rare weekends with his family. The athlete spares no money: he can easily "gather a party", as he says, order plane tickets, pay for a hotel and invite all loved ones to Phuket or another exotic resort. The athlete often uploads family photos on his own page on Instagram.

In 2016, Ivan Skobrev took fifth place in the Adelskalender rating, thereby confirming the title of leader among Russian speed skaters.

Now Ivan Skobrev works in the coaching staff of the Dynamo hockey team. The skater became interested in the hockey players' upbringing system after he sent his son to a children's school named after Arkady Ivanovich Chernyshov, to the Dynamo club. The athlete has developed his own teaching system and is practicing these principles on the young players of the club.
