Maria Petrova is a Russian figure skater who performed in pair skating. Maria became world champion and twice European champion. Maria completed her sports career with the title of Honored Master of Sports of Russia. She later appeared in various television shows such as "Stars on Ice" and "Ice Age".

The future skating rink star was born in St. Petersburg and first came to the ice rink at the age of seven, which is considered a very late age for a professional athlete. Nevertheless, the girl in a short time managed to make up for lost time, quickly learned to confidently hold on to skates and mastered single jumps. Seeing the dedication and talent of the child, her coach just a couple of months later transferred her ward to the figure skating group, giving the country a talented figure skater.

It was difficult for Maria to combine training, frequent competition and a regular comprehensive school. And if in the lower grades Petrova was enrolled in a specialized sports class, where teachers turned a blind eye to omissions and unlearned lessons, then later she went to a regular school. And it should be noted that the talented girl managed to study well. Now, after many years, Maria Igorevna recalls her classmates and teachers with warmth.

At the age of 15, Maria Petrova won her first major award - a silver medal at the World Junior Championships. This achievement was obeyed by the girl in a pair dance with Anton Sikharulidze. Moreover, the guys will win the next two championships with a noticeable advantage over their rivals.

But in the future, Masha did not have a relationship with Anton, and for two years she skated with Teimuraz Pulin, with whom she was able to repeat her debut achievement, and also took silver at the Winter Universiade in South Korea, but in general this couple looked weaker.

And then Alexei Tikhonov appeared on the horizon of Petrova. The pair was formed on June 15, 1998, and four months later, the skaters won their first gold at the Grand Prix stage in Germany. The first years of joint work turned out to be the most successful in the careers of both athletes. Seven gold medals, five silver medals, and many lower rank awards. Later, Maria Petrova and her partner were consistently among the top three European and five world strongest skaters, but they no longer conquered the highest step of the podium.

After the 2007 World Open, in which Alexei Tikhonov received an offensive injury, Maria Petrova announced that she was also ending her sports career, since she no longer intends to play with another partner.

From the same year, rumors began to appear either about Maria Petrova's illness, or about the figure skater as a wife caring for the sick Alexei Tikhonov. But the athletes did not confirm this information. Maria and Alexey began to appear regularly in ice shows and productions, showing that with the end of their professional career in sports, the life of the skaters did not end.

Maria also participates in the staging of colorful ice fairy-tale performances for children and adults, in which she herself goes to the rink as an ice ballet actress. The audience enjoyed great success with "Kid and Carlson on Ice", "Miracles on New Year's Eve", "Classmates", "Carmen", "Bolero" and other interesting performances.

Maria Petrova managed to start a cinematic biography. Maria played the role of a figure skater in the series “Sea Devils. Tornado-3. "

Maria Petrova and Alexei Tikhonov not only became inseparable partners on the ice rink. They quickly realized that they felt much more for each other. A couple of years after they met, young people began to meet, and after the end of their careers they began to live in a civil marriage. In 2010, Maria gave birth to a daughter, Polina, which made her husband happy.

Family happiness and harmony in a pair of skaters do not give rest to ill-wishers and gossips. Rumors about the divorce of Petrova and Tikhonov regularly appear in the press, but the spouses deny such speculation. Maria and Alexey live in perfect harmony, raise a joint child and even work together.

Today the girl has already skated. In an interview, the skaters told reporters that they would be happy if their daughter “rolls over” her parents. As Maria Petrova admits, the grown-up daughter has already started asking her parents for a brother or sister. The skater herself also does not mind if there are more children in the family, but there is no question of replenishing the family seriously.
