Nataliya Zabiyako

Natalya Zabiyako is one of those who are ready to fight for a dream when everyone around them says that there is nothing more to wait. Her sports career turned out to be spectacular and bright, and the couple with Alexander Enbert was recognized as one of the most harmonious in the history of Russian figure skating. In February 2020, Natalya announced that her performances on the “big ice” were over.

Natalia Zabiyako was born in the summer, on August 15, 1994, in Tallinn. The girl's mom is Estonian and earns money by sewing. Dad grew up in Novorossiysk, then moved to Estonia, a welder by profession. Natasha was brought up in a large family - there is also a brother and 2 sisters. Brother Alexei played football, returned from military service, and the team was disbanded. So he gave up sports. Sister Svetlana preferred synchronized figure skating, but later put on a policeman's shoulder straps. The youngest Katya at first also looked towards the rink, but stopped at the dance.

Natalia's mother and father live in Estonia, and grandfather and grandmother live in Russia, in Anapa. The baby started skating at the age of four. The girl was often ill, and her parents decided to improve her daughter's health. At the age of 7, she went to school and combined her studies with ice classes.

In 2014, Natalia moved to the capital of Russia and received Russian citizenship.

Despite constant training, Natalia's personal life is going well. The girl was in a relationship with a bright single skater from Uzbekistan Misha Ge, as evidenced by the photo on Instagram of the athlete.

However, in the fall of 2018, Zabiyako published a post in the same place stating that she had accepted a marriage proposal from film director Danila Grinkin. The young man also announced his engagement on his page and promised to become "the coolest husband." The couple has not yet announced the wedding date.

It is known about the figure skater's fiancé that he has been associated with cinema since childhood - he worked part-time in a cinema, studied at a school with a journalistic bias, from the age of 14 he wrote scripts and filmed. Then he entered Alexei Uchitel at VGIK, opened his own company, shot videos and advertisements.

The drama "Monk" filmed by Grinkin with Tatiana Arntgolts and Sergei Kempo won prizes at festivals in Sevastopol and Sochi, the American Orlando International Peace & Film Festival and the Romanian Cluj Shorts International Film Festival, was approved by the Italian Sorsi Corti Short Film Festival, and was included in the Shortfilmcorner program of the Cannes Film Festival ...

Zabiyako is a fan of Pink Floyd and indie rock, a lark by nature. The girl believes that long sleep is wasted time when nothing useful has been done.

For 10 years Natalia skated alone. Anna Lewandi became the girl's first mentor. Zabiyako says she learned many useful things from Lewandi. At first, the athlete did not set goals in professional sports, nevertheless, in the winter of 2008, she won a victorious place among juniors in Tartu.

A year later, Natalia paired up with Sergei Mukhin. Ekaterina Nekrasova became the coach of the young guys. In the pairing alliance, both were newcomers and learned the individual elements from scratch. Natalya skated with Sergei at the junior competition in The Hague in 2010. They became Estonian champions. Soon the young man was offered to participate in the show, and he gave up sports.

Natalya took figure skating seriously. From this moment, the sports biography of Zabiyako takes off. The girl was upset by Sergei's departure. She registered on the site for finding partners, and soon Sergey Kulbach wrote to Natalia. He invited the young athlete to go to train in the United States. The girl agreed. In order for their daughter to go abroad, the parents took out a bank loan.

Classes were held in Ashburn. The girl was invited to live by a Russian family. At that time, the athletes were trained by professionals from Bulgaria and Kazakhstan. Together with Sergey, the girl represented Estonia. In 2011, Natalia and Sergey achieved 16th place in the world championship. But then the skater injured her back, and the guys were unable to take part in the 2012 European Championship. Soon the duet broke up, and Sergey returned to Ukraine.

Since the fall of 2012, Natalya paired up with Alexander Zaboev. Young people played for Estonia, in 2013 they won 9th place in the Nebelhorn Trophy. Getting into the top ten gave the guys the opportunity to go to the Sochi Olympics. But Zaboev could not get Estonian citizenship, and he had to say goodbye to the competitions every athlete dreams of. In 2014, the couple broke up.

Later, Zabiyako wrote a letter to one of the Estonian portals, in which she said that the reason was not only in legal formalities. “Zaboev’s conflict nature is one of the main reasons why we left America: they could not see Sasha at our skating rink. I'm not even talking about the attitude towards me ”.

Natalia received a salary 4 times less than her partner and tolerated hints of excess weight (despite the fact that the figure skater weighed 43 kg with a height of 163 cm), she did not know what massage and a pool were.

In the same year, the athlete met Nina Moser. It was Moser who suggested that the girl move to Moscow. Natalia agreed and soon received the citizenship of the Russian Federation.

In the capital, Natalia paired up with Yuri Larionov. But skating with a partner did not work out. Yuri's old damage made itself felt. He decided to leave the sport and retrained as a coach.

In the summer of 2015, Alexander Enbert became Natalia's new partner. Now the skaters remember that they turned out to be "attempt No. 5" for each other. During the general speeches, we never quarreled, disagreeing points of view are just an excuse to talk and discuss once again.

The debut of the pair took place in performances at the international tournament "Mordovian Patterns" in Saransk. The young people represented Russia and won a silver medal. The show at the Russian championship was successful. The guys joined the reserve team of the Russian national team.

The beginning of 2016 brought Natalia Zabiyako a difficult test. During training, the girl fell and received a head injury, which is why she spent a week and a half in intensive care. Natalia was supported by her parents, coaches, partner. Fans were worried about her health. The skater coped with the difficulties and after 2 months went on the ice.

A series of new competitions soon followed. The pair climbed to the second step of the podium at the Rostelecom Cup. They then finished fourth at the Paris Grand Prix, improving their previous performance. The young people were put in reserve for the Grand Prix final in Marseille.

The Championship of Russia in Chelyabinsk brought the guys the 3rd prize. At the end of January 2017, Natalia and Alexander competed at the European Championship in Ostrava and entered the top five. In March, young people took to the ice at the World Championships in Helsinki and entered the top 12 pairs in the world.

In September 2017, the couple started the Olympic season in Bergamo. The performance at the Lombardy Cup brought victory. Following on at the Ondrej Nepela Memorial tournament, they again achieved the championship. A month later, at the Grand Prix at the Canadian stage, they took 4th place.

In January 2018, the European Championship started in Moscow. Zabiyako and Enbert won the first bronze medal of this level in their careers, confirming their participation in the Olympics in Pyeongchang.

The 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, as the figure skater said in an interview, “only instilled confidence and desire to work further,” although Natasha and her partner Alexander Enbert had to perform in a difficult situation, there was physical and mental fatigue. The gap from the closest rivals - the French Vanessa James and Morgan Sipre - was one hundredth point, which gave the fans a reason to joke on the Web on the topic of "surgical calculations".

Alexander noted that, perhaps in the future, he will study in more detail how the judges give marks in order to know for sure how such a gap is created. Natalia skated at the tournament with a hand injury, which, according to her, did not affect the preparation.

In 2018, Natalya Zabiyako and her partner surprised fans and specialists by winning silver medals in team competitions at the Olympics in Korea. In the individual championship, the couple was content with 7th place. The skater remembered the main start of the 4th anniversary not for the scandalous situation with the Russian national team, but for the indescribable atmosphere when the best athletes in the world gather. In the pictures of Natalia in a swimsuit, a tattoo made in the form of Olympic rings is noticeable.

The duo finished the year at the 4th position of the World Championship in Italy. In the new season, the skaters had to skate without the personal participation of Nina Moser, who decided to take a break and take a break from the stress. But Natalya is sure that the second mentor, Vladislav Zhovnirsky, has enough experience, and Moser will still control, even from a distance.

The short program for the Zabiyako-Enbert couple was staged to the music of Sergei Prokofiev from the film "Alexander Nevsky", which at first aroused doubts among the athletes - a new style, different emotions. But after working on the elements on the ice and “freeing the inner demons,” as Natasha said, the partners realized that it would be interesting. Especially for the dance, Zabiyako cut her hair short: the new hairstyle was in better harmony with the image.

For the free dance, the choreographers offered the skaters a love story. Sad at first, about the loss of a young man's girlfriend. In the final, her spirit revives the love of life in the young man. The musical accompaniment was Igor Krutoy's composition "Toietmoi" performed by Dmitry Hvorostovsky. Both programs brought the couple a victory at the Lombardia Trophy in September 2018.

The 2018/2019 season Zabiyako and Enbert began with a victory in two stages of the Grand Prix and a silver medal of the Russian Championship. At the beginning of 2019, doctors discovered that Alexander had an abnormal increase in heart rate and forbade him to go on the ice, in connection with which the skaters had to miss the European Championship.

When the medical clearance was received, the couple at an accelerated pace managed to prepare for the World Championships in Japan, where they won a bronze medal. In a blog on the sports channel, Natalya told fans about the backstage of the world championship and her impressions of the country.

In September 2019, Alexander began to have health problems again, and the couple announced a career suspension. They hoped to continue performing, but, unfortunately, according to the results of the survey, it turned out that increased loads are now contraindicated for Enbert, and at the beginning of 2020 the couple announced that they were ending their careers.

On her Instagram, Natalya thanked Alexander, calling him the best partner, and said that she was sorry to say goodbye to the ice, but they would not be able to skate anymore. The skaters' farewell performance took place at the Path to Victory ice show.

Zabiyako did not want to look for another partner or continue her career as a loner. In an interview, Natalya said that she was thinking of trying herself as an actress or writing a script. The groom Danil Grinkin promised to provide assistance in the new sphere.
