Maksim Shabalin

Maxim Shabalin is a Russian figure skater who performed together with Oksana Domnina in the ice dancing pair discipline. Together, the pair of skaters won the bronze medal of the Olympic Games, became world and European champions, and also won the Grand Prix series competition complex.

Maxim Shabalin was born on January 25, 1982. His parents met in Vladivostok, where his mother was doing an internship, and Maxim was born in Samara (in the past - Kuibyshev). The Shabalin family has a youngest daughter, Olesya, who is engaged in the restaurant business.

Parents sent Maxim to the figure skating section when he was four years old. They wanted their son to go in for sports and grow up healthy, but children were admitted to other sections from the age of five. The boy didn’t like training, he did it through strength. Affected by the fact that his parents forced him to practice every day at home: he did 35 squats on each leg and 20 splits. At the age of seven, Shabalin began to go to figure skating school on his own and often skipped training - he just walked near the Sports Palace, and then returned home.

Probably, this is how the sports biography of the skater would have ended, and Maxim Shabalin would have simply quit figure skating if it had not been for the proposal of his first coach Oleg Sudakov. He invited him to do ice dancing. He liked the dancing - now he himself was in a hurry to train.

Shabalin had several partners, but the duet did not work out. When he was 16 years old, he moved to Bulgaria, where he danced with Rita Toteva. Soon, the Shabalin-Toteva pair won silver at the national championship. But Margarita had serious health problems - she was forced to leave figure skating.

In 1999, Maxim returned to Russia and began skating together with Elena Khalyavina. At the 2000-2002 Russian championships, they won bronze, silver and gold medals, and then became vice-champions in the world junior championship. Maxim and Elena had a difficult relationship outside the ice arena, so their couple soon broke up.

The next partner of the skater was Oksana Domnina. They trained with Alexei Gorshkov, and in 2003 they won the Russian junior championship. Two years later, the skater duet won the Russian championship, then there were European championships and victories. The most difficult thing for them was the victory at the 2008 European Championship. Shortly before the competition, Maxim Shabalin underwent surgery on his right leg, after which he was operated on his left leg.

The athlete admitted that it was very painful for him to perform - he had to grit his teeth. The skater did not even suspect that the pain could be so monstrous. Then he told his mother that he felt like “the second Meresiev” on the ice. In 2008, due to Maxim's health condition, the couple missed the World Championship, but the next year they won a gold medal at this championship.

In 2010, Shabalin and Domina took third place at the Olympic Games. After the Olympics, the skaters announced that they were taking a break from training and performances for an indefinite period. In the summer of the same year, Maxim Shabalin began to coach the Russian national figure skating team. In addition, the athlete became a member of the executive committee of the Russian Figure Skating Federation.

And in October of the same year, the skater announced the end of his professional sports career.

Maxim Shabalin left the ice, but did not disappear from the field of view of the fans. In 2010, he took part in the show "Ice and Fire", his partner was actress Ekaterina Vilkova.

The following year, the skater appeared in the Bolero program, where he performed in tandem with the ballerina Ekaterina Krysanova, and a year later - in the Ice Age show. He participated in this program in 2013 as well. Initially, Maxim planned to perform with his wife Irina Grineva, but she has not yet recovered from childbirth, so the singer Nyusha became Maxim's partner.

This duet was hardly successful. Maxim and Nyusha finished the first stage second from the bottom according to the total score, in the second stage they completely dropped to the last place. In the future, the pair was able to move up two places, but remained at the bottom of the ranking until the 8th stage.

The performance on the topic "Golden Voices" during the 9th stage of the show brought Shabalin and Nyusha the maximum marks for both technique and artistry. The duet performed to the song of Jacques Brel “Ne Me Quitte Pas”.

In the next theme - "Musicals" - the duo performed to the composition of Karl Orff "Carmina Burana" and again earned maximum points. In the next competition, the couple again ended up at the bottom of the list, but with the number for the song Oi Va Voi "Ladino Song" they got into the "Latinos" nomination, for which they were especially noted.

A couple dropped out of the competition after the 12th stage.

With his future wife, actress Irina Grineva, Maxim Shabalin met three times. The first two acquaintances were fleeting - they didn't even remember each other's names. But fate brought them together for the third time - Irina and Maxim were in the same company and sat next to each other: sympathy arose between them. Irina Grineva is 9 years older than Maxim Shabalin, but this did not interfere with their relationship at all. Irina has always admitted that she is waiting for a special man who will be smart, handsome, brilliant and will be able to meet all ten points that the actress came up with as a child.

And the woman waited for her "prince", and she claims that the spouse corresponds to that children's note to the last letter. Now, as the actress admits, her life is much more filled with meaning and joy. According to Irina, before meeting with Maxim, she clearly felt the dullness of life, especially having played the role of the queen in golden clothes on stage, after that this feeling was completely lost.

On November 20, 2010, the lovers signed, and the next day they got married. At the wedding, Irina was dressed in a dress in the style of the 19th century.

On July 6, 2013, Maxim Shabalin became a father - his daughter Vasilisa was born. Irina gave birth in a Spanish clinic to the sound of jazz. And the girl was baptized already in Russia - in the same church where her parents were married.

The spouses do not advertise family life, but they also do not try to completely hide from the fans. Irina Grineva has a popular Instagram account, the heroes of which are often the husband and daughter of the actress. Joint photos of spouses often become topics for discussion in the Internet media and on forums.

In 2018, Maxim Shabalin, together with his partner in performances Oksana Domnina, went on tour across Russia with a new ice show by Ilya Averbukh, dedicated to the 2018 Olympics, or rather the unfair suspension of the Olympians from the competition.

The production was named Together and Forever. The troupe has performed in Vladimir, Vladivostok, Saratov, Sochi, Perm and other cities.

Other Olympic champions and prize-winners, winners of various world and Russian competitions also took part in the performance: Alexey Yagudin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, couples Maria Petrova and Alexey Tikhonov, Margarita Drobyazko and Povilas Vanagas, Povilas Vanagas and Maxim Stavisky, as well as Tatyana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin.

It is also interesting that as part of the performance, Shabalin's constant partner Oksana Domnina did not perform with Maxim, but with her own husband, also a figure skater and Olympic champion Roman Kostomarov. Together, the couple presented the number "Bolero".
