Maxim Trankov

Honored Master of Sports, world champion, two-time Olympic champion in 2014, three-time champion of Russia, a wonderful skater who was entrusted to be the standard-bearer of the national team at the closing of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. And this is all about him, about Maxim Leonidovich Trankov.

He was able to achieve a lot in one of the most beautiful sports. The athlete's army of fans is huge and continues to grow. But few people know that Maxim Trankov, if not for his mother and now deceased father, could well have been doing something else, and not sports. But they insisted, and the son had to listen to them. Now he is infinitely grateful to his parents for everything he has.

Maxim Trankov was born in October 1983 in Perm. The boy was lucky to be born into a family where everyone respected sports - his elder brother Alexei, father Leonid Trankov, in the past a wonderful rider, the first equestrian master in the Urals. Mom Valentina Trankova once trained track and field athletes, and after the birth of her sons, she changed her job to a more relaxed one - she became a preschool teacher.

The parents brought their youngest son to the rink when Maxim was 4 years old. Brother Alexei heard about the new recruitment to the figure skating group and informed his father and mother, who had long been thinking about where to direct the too violent and sometimes explosive energy of the youngest.

Little Maxim until 8 years old repeatedly dropped out of classes. He wanted to do what most of his peers do: run to the movies, play football, sit back and fool around.

Having become a titled athlete, Trankov said that he never fell in love with figure skating. And I liked to go out on the ice only because I did not contact anyone behind the side and imagined myself at least Superman, even Rambo.

A strict schedule and a clear daily routine were bad for the boy. And he still managed to achieve his goal: for a year Maxim Trankov did not go to the rink. Parents gave up, but when the first coach Valery Domrachev unexpectedly called them and asked to return a talented and very promising tomboy to the rink, dad and mom took up their son thoroughly. And they returned to the sport.

Maxim got to the talented coaches, spouses Valentina and Valery Tyukov, in the pair skating group. But for more than a year the boy skated himself - there was no partner for him. In 1994, Trankova was finally found a couple - the same age as Ales Korchagin.

Professional sports biography of Maxim Trankov began after receiving the first adult category at the age of 11. And when the boy turned 13, the joint performances with Alesya ended. Ksenia Vasilyeva became the new partner. It is worth noting that it was with her that Maxim took 7th place in the junior championship, which testified to clear progress. With Vasilyeva, Trankov held out in a pair for 2 years, after which he began to perform with Irina Bogomolova.

In 1999, the famous coach Lyudmila Smirnova invites Trankov to move to St. Petersburg and perform with her daughter Irina Ulanova. The guy agrees. The result of the changes was not slow to show itself: the couple, under the strict guidance of Smirnova, took 5th place in the junior championship.

In 2003, Maxim Trankov began skating with a new girlfriend - Maria Mukhortova. After 2 years of hard training, the athletes became junior champions. On this, the performances in the young league ended, and it was necessary to move to the adult category. But this period was not easy for the couple. In addition to internal conflicts, the guys constantly fought with the coach. In less than six months, the skaters changed 6 mentors, and after a quarrel with each other, they stopped skating together for several months.

After a short breakup in 2006, the athletes reunited. Now coach Oleg Vasiliev has taken over their preparation. He immediately realized that although the couple loves to conflict, they are capable of reaching great heights. Vasiliev was right. Trankov and Mukhortova already in 2007 won the Russian championship.

In the Grand Prix finals, luck left the guys - they got only 6th place. The reason for the defeat is trivial: a few days before the speech, Maxim Trankov received food poisoning. Then, in the career of skaters, a number of unsuccessful performances and the final breakup of the pair followed.

During this period, the talented figure skater Tatyana Volosozhar was looking for a partner. Tanya's former partner and common-law spouse Stanislav Morozov decided to end his career and go to coaching. Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov began to study together under the guidance of Nina Moser.

Lapping the new tandem went almost painlessly and fairly quickly. In 2011, Maxim and Tatiana won the Russian Championship.

The 2011 World Cup in Japan was canceled due to the earthquake. The skaters went there on the eve of the disaster. Within a few days after the incident, contact with them was lost. Then everyone was scared. But, fortunately, the athletes returned safe and sound.

The tournament of the best figure skaters on the planet was moved to Moscow. And this first major international start for Trankov and Volosozhar brought silver awards.

In 2013, Maxim Trankov and his partner skated at the World Championship, where they took 1st place for the first time in their career. This victory was given to them extremely hard, since on the day of departure Maxim's father died. With a great effort of will, the athlete managed to cope with his feelings and concentrate on the performance. It was dedicated to my father. Trankov and Volosozhar won.

In 2014, Maxim Trankov, together with Tatyana, represented Russia in pair skating at the Olympic Games in Sochi. On February 11, the first stage in the competition of sports pairs started. Russian pair Volosozhar-Trankov won the short program. Moreover, the skaters broke the world record with 83.79 points.

The decisive battle took place on February 12, 2014. Maxim and Tatiana skated a free program to the music from the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The guys were not equal. With a margin of 18 points, they became Olympic champions. It was an unconditional triumph.

This was followed by a break of one and a half years. The skaters did not start the new season because of Maxim's injury, received during the performance of the element in training: he fell during a dash and stuck his shoulder into the ice. The fall of Trankov from the height of his own growth (187 cm) turned out to be much more serious than they initially thought, he had to undergo surgery. The pair missed out on the Grand Prix, the US Skate America and the China Cup.

At the tournament in German Nebelhorn, the guys won again. But from the next stage, the skaters withdrew. This time Tatyana was forced to take care of her health.

A new return to the skating rink brought the athletes gold medals. These victories were achieved at the national championship in Russia and in Bratislava, at the continental championship.

In 2016, Maxim Trankov took part in the popular TV show "Ice Age". Yulianna Karaulova, singer and finalist of the 5th season of the "Star Factory", performed together with him. Ilya Averbukh became the duo's coach.

This Ice Age season turned out to be the most scandalous in history. In addition to the scandal with the number about the Holocaust of Tatiana Navka and Andrei Burkovsky, there was also a scandal with a pair of Trankov-Karaulov. Maxim had a falling out with a member of the jury, Oksana Pushkina, who, in his opinion and the opinion of many thousands of spectators and even fellow judges, gave the couple an unfairly low score.

Maxim Trankov categorically told the TV presenter that the project gave him a lot, and he found a huge family, expanded the circle of friends, but she - Oksana Pushkina - came to the program to conquer enemies. Judging by the applause, the audience sided with the skater.

Some fans, seeing the passionate performances of Maxim Trankov and Yuliana Karaulova, started talking about unsportsmanlike relationships. But there really was no romance. The contestants are excellent artists who have played their roles well.

In 2015, Maxim tried on the role of a commentator for figure skating competitions. The skater's voice sounds off-screen on Channel One and Sport 1. Trankov comments on Match TV together with Tatyana Tarasova.

For a long time, there was very little information about Maxim Trankov's personal life. The athlete did not like to dwell on this topic, and he did not give a reason for rumors or scandals. Employment and a busy work schedule did not allow the skater to be distracted by something else outside the rink.

However, the athlete found his soul mate on the ice. She became, as many suspected, Tatyana Volosozhar. The couple turned from sports to married.

Tanya and Maxim legalized their relationship in 2015. A beautiful and noisy wedding took place in the popular 02 Lounge restaurant, which is located on the roof of the Ritz-Carlton hotel. The bride was wearing a luxurious dress from Alena Akhmadullina.

And in the fall of 2016, fans of figure skating and this wonderful couple learned good news. In September, after the skaters returned from an ice show in Japan, Tanya announced her pregnancy. Maxim Trankov became a father, which, he admitted, had long dreamed of.

Daughter Angelica, who appeared in February 2017, was given a double surname by her parents. Tatiana joked that she did not envy those who would have to indicate the girl's name in the documents in Latin. When the time came to baptize the baby, Tanya's sister Olga and figure skater Fyodor Klimov were chosen as godparents.

Maxim said in an interview that in the family the wife is “responsible for a sober head,” and he is for emotions. Trankov is simple and kind only on the ice, but in life he rushes to the embrasure, cuts the truth in the eyes, where it is better to remain silent, he will surely "blur out" something. At the same time, he understands that in the eyes of others he looks like an evil person, and when friends or Tatyana are hurt, he can hurt.

Even his own name Max (Max) on Instagram was transformed by the skater into xam_trankov (ham Trankov), so that it became clear to those who came to the page from the very beginning who they were dealing with. Most of the photos in the account are images of a daughter and wife.

In April 2017, the couple began training to participate in the ice shows of Ilya Averbukh. The athletes expected to get back in shape for the Olympics in Korea. But in the summer, we realized that “everything has already been said in sports,” we talked with the coach and the Russian Figure Skating Federation and decided to finish the performances. I didn’t want to irritate the team in which 3 main pairs were led by Nina Moser. Moreover, the situation around Russian sports did not add enthusiasm.

In 2018, the Olympic champion was invited to mentor the show “Ice Age. Children ”, hosted by Evgenia Medvedeva and Aleksey Yagudin. It was more difficult for Maxim than for the coaches Tatiana Navka and Roman Kostomarov, since the programs were staged in dance, and Trankov performed in a sports pair.

In September, a book dedicated to the sports path of Maxim and Tatiana was published. The skater said that "Two sides of the same medal" is addressed primarily to parents of novice athletes and young people who dream of a podium. Perhaps the story of one of the most beautiful couples in the world of figure skating about what they had to endure, what to sacrifice, will save the new generation from mistakes and tell you what you shouldn't be afraid of.

Now Trankov has one more duty - the coach of the Evgeny Tarasov-Vladimir Morozov pair. At the end of the World Championships, Nina Moser, the former mentor, decided to reduce the load and entrusted the athletes to her best student. Evgenia and Vladimir have already won the first start of the 2018/2019 season - Finlandia Trophy.
