Natalya Vladimirovna Linichuk (Russian: Наталья Владимировна Линичукⓘ; born 6 February 1956) is a Russian ice dancing coach and former competitive ice dancer for the Soviet Union. With partner and husband Gennadi Karponosov, she is the 1980 Olympic champion and a two-time World champion.

Competitive career

[edit]

Linichuk began skating due to her mother's love of figure skating.[1] She had a dozen coaches before ending up in the group of Elena Tchaikovskaia, whom Linichuk soon sensed was the right coach for her.[1]

Linichuk and Karponosov trained at Dynamo in Moscow. They won the World Universiade in 1972, and were bronze medalists at the 1974 and 1977 World Championships. They finished 4th at the 1976 Winter Olympics, the year ice dancing was introduced as an Olympic sport.

Linichuk and Karponosov became World champions in 1978 and 1979. They won the European Championships in 1979 and 1980, after winning a silver medal in 1978, and bronze medals from 1974 through 1977.

Linichuk and Karponosov won the 1980 Olympics, but failed to defend their World title, making them the only team ever to unsuccessfully defend a World title after winning the Olympics.[2] In 1981, Linichuk and Karponosov retired from competition.

Coaching career

After coaching in Moscow, Linichuk and Karponosov accepted an offer to coach in the U.S.[1] They moved with their students in June 1994 and coached at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware.[3][4] In September 2007, they moved to the Ice Works Skating Complex in Aston, Pennsylvania.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

Linichuk accepted Karponosov's proposal after they retired from competition.[1] She had one prior marriage.[1] Linichuk and Karponosov were married on 31 July 1981. Their daughter, Anastasiya Karponosova, was born in February 1985. The couple initially lived in Moscow and then moved to the United States in the early '90s.[4]
