Igor Anatolyevich Bobrin (Russian: Игорь Анатольевич Бобрин) (born 14 November 1953[1]) is a Russian former competitive figure skater who represented the Soviet Union. He is the 1981 European champion, the 1981 World bronze medalist, and a four-time (1978, 1980–1982) Soviet national champion. Bobrin placed 6th at the 1980 Winter Olympics.

Career

[edit]

During his competitive career, Bobrin was known for being a particularly creative free skater. He invented an unusual horizontal-twisting jump sometimes called a "log jump" or "Bobrinover". At one of his first international competitions, the 1972 Winter Universiade, a contemporary review noted that even the pros were puzzled by the jump, which was described as "somewhat like an Arabian cartwheel, only performed going straight ahead".[2] He was coached by Igor Moskvin and since 1980 by Yuri Ovchinnikov.[3]

Following his competitive career, Bobrin created his own ice theater. He currently skates with Moscow Stars On Ice and works as a coach and choreographer.[4] He choreographed Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze's competitive Chaplin program.[4]

In 2011–2012, Bobrin appeared on the panel of judges for the television show "Cup of Professionals"[5] on Russian television Channel One.

Personal life

[edit]

Bobrin was first married to Natalia Ovchinnikova, with whom he has a son, Maxim, born in 1977. In 1983 he married the future Olympic champion in ice dancing, Natalia Bestemianova.
