Povilas Vanagas

Povilas Vanagas is a famous Lithuanian figure skater. Together with Margarita Drobyazko, he played five times at the Olympics, where he was twice the standard bearer of the Lithuanian team. Russian viewers know Povilas for the participation of a man in the projects "Ice Age", "Bolero", "Ice and Fire".

Povilas Vanagas was born in the Lithuanian Siauliai in the summer of July 23, 1970. The family called the boy Povilas the Fourth. The first, second and third were the great-grandfather, grandfather and father of little Vanagas.

The parents had an influence on their son. But since they represented different professions, Povilas's mother is a seven-time champion of Lithuania, figure skater Lilia Vanagenė, and his father is a doctor, it was difficult for the boy to decide in life.

Having barely reached the age of 3, Povilas Vanagas, holding on to a chair, went to the rink. So he was under the supervision of his mother, who worked as a coach. (Later Lilia Vanagenė headed the Lithuanian Figure Skating Federation).

Later, the skater admitted that his mother took her son to sports because she was worried about the boy's physical development and poor appetite.

At the age of 6, Vanagas already participated in competitions. But after a while Povilas lost interest in performing on ice. The guy switched to basketball, volleyball and football. And closer to the end of the secondary school, the young man was completely attracted to the direction of medicine, which was practiced by almost all relatives on the paternal side.

At the age of 17, Povilas Vanagas quit sports and began intensive preparation for entering the medical institute. He went to MGIMO, but did not pass the competition.

After the failed admission, the failed student was drafted into the army. After learning what he did as a teenager, Vanagas was assigned to a sports company. In addition, the guy had an appropriate physique and a suitable height - 180 cm. This is how the sports biography of Povilas Vanagas began. Since then, no other occupation has supplanted figure skating from the life of a young man.

Vanagas worked at the CSKA sports club. He soon decided to retire from single skating. The coach picked up his 16-year-old partner Margarita Drobyazko. The rubbing period was not easy, but the couple coped and soon began to make their first successes. At this time, the collapse of the USSR began. The skaters decided to move to Latvia. Here, in Kaunas, trainer Elena Maslennikova took over the preparation of the duet. In the 1991-1992 season, the couple participated in all major international competitions, but there was no success.

In the mid-1990s, Vanagas and Drobyazko left for England. Here for 2 years the couple was coached by Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean.

In the late 1990s, Povilas Vanagas, together with his partner, moved to Moscow. Here the experienced trainer Elena Chaikovskaya took over the preparation of the duet. For 4 years, the couple was among the top five at the World and European Championships. And in 1999 she won bronze in the world and European championships.

He also distinguished himself in his native Lithuania. The Vanagas-Drobyazko pair are thirteen-time national champions. They participated in the 5 Winter Olympics, where they represented Lithuania. The last was the 2006 Turin Olympics, where the skaters took 7th place.

Today Povilas Vanagas organizes popular ice shows in Lithuania and regularly participates in similar TV shows in Russia. He is a regular participant in the projects "Ice and Fire" and "Ice Age". In the last show, viewers saw a man with Larisa Verbitskaya, Ksenia Alferova, Anna Bolshova, Irina Medvedeva and Anna Begunova. In 2016, actress Evgenia Kregzhde became Vanagas's partner, with whom he took second prize.

Povilas met his future wife Margarita Drobyazko in 1988, when he was 18, and Rita was 16. For a long time, the couple was exclusively connected with sports. After finishing training, each of them went home. But a few years later, Povilas suddenly noticed that he was feeling jealous when he saw Margarita with other guys.

The breakthrough came in 1998 when the couple went to a competition in Switzerland. Vanagas confessed his love to the girl right during training. Povilas's confession took Margarita by surprise. Before that, she perceived the ice partner as a friend, so she asked for time to think. But then she looked at the man from a different angle. In addition, Rita could not imagine that after leaving sports, the lives of young people would disperse.

In the same year, the Vanagas-Drobyazko couple turned from sports to love. In 2000, they formalized the relationship, and in the registry office, and in the small Moscow church, where the wedding took place. In one interview, Povilas said that a wedding for a skater means more than a stamp in a passport.

Interesting fact: at one time Povilas was thinking of becoming a priest. But after talking with the priest, he changed his mind.

The newlyweds went on a wedding trip to Spain.

The couple's relationship was not always cloudless. Rumor has it that Povilas and Margarita once found themselves on the verge of divorce. If you believe the rumors, Drobyazko allegedly had an affair with the actor Alexander Dyachenko, who became the girl's partner in one of the seasons of the Ice Age.

And in 2010, the personal life of Povilas Vanagas hit the top news in show business. Now he himself was credited with an affair with the young Agnia Ditkovskite, who became the man's partner in the show "Ice and Fire". Later in an interview, the couple noticed that if you believe all the rumors that are written about them, then you can already create your own harem.

But today Vanagas and Drobyazko are together. Fans of this couple say that they managed to overcome their trials and preserve their feelings.

Povilas and Margarita are frequent guests of television talk shows. They participated in the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and hosted Marina Aleksandrova as part of the NTV channel's project “People Live”.

The spouses have no children.

The couple lives in their home on the Kiev highway. They have many pets.

In 2008, viewers saw Povilas Vanagas in the TV series Hot Ice. He appeared on the screen with Alexei Yagudin, Roman Kostomarov, Alexei Tikhonov, Ekaterina Guseva, Anna Bolshova and others.
