Ice passions
The name of Tatyana Navka began to appear on the pages of newspapers and magazines more often than usual since 2007. The girl returns from the USA to Russia and takes part in television show projects. It all started with the first season of the “Stars on Ice” competition, where Tatyana Navka performed in tandem with actor Marat Basharov.The couple took first place.

Gradually, rumors about upcoming wedding Tatiana and Marat. And while she was away, journalists increasingly talked about the impending divorce of Zhulin and Navka. Adding fuel to the fire was the information that Alexander had a young mistress - his ward Natalya.
In 2010, the couple officially announced their separation. However, the relationship between Navka and Basharov did not work out, and Alexander Zhulin, meanwhile, does not part with the young figure skater.
Tatiana Navka and Alexey Vorobyov
In the fall of 2010, Navka reappeared on television screens. This time in the projectTatyana Navka is an amazing woman whose beauty, hard work and perseverance can only be envied. She not only won Olympic gold and television, but also became happy wife and mother of lovely, talented daughters.
However, in Tatyana Navka’s first steps on the ice, few could see the future Olympic champion.
Childhood and parents
Tatyana was born on April 13, 1975 in Dnepropetrovsk into an average family. Despite the fact that the parents had a sporting youth, they chose more than serious professions for life.
My mother worked as an economist, and my father worked as an engineer. However, they still tried to instill a love of sports in Tanya and her younger sister Natalya. The girls themselves could choose the sport that was more to their liking.
As a child
Little Tanya was greatly impressed by the performance of Soviet figure skater Elena Vodorezova, which she accidentally saw on TV. It was then that the choice fell on figure skating.
Despite the existing shortage in the country, parents were able to get skates for their 5-year-old daughter. Her very first coaches were T. Yarchevskaya and A. Rozhin. After some time, Tanya began to devote more time to ice training than to studying at school.
Being in elementary school An excellent student, lower grades began to appear in the diary of the future champion. School matinees and holidays also passed by, because... Tanya preferred festive performances on ice.
IN adolescence in 1987 it stretched out. A strong increase in height (more than 10 cm) had a negative impact on the performance of various jumping combinations. The parents were recommended to transfer the girl from the classical figure skating in the section - ice dancing.
A year later, when Tanya turned 14, she was noticed by a coach from Moscow, Natalya Dubova.
In my youth
In 1988, she moved to Moscow and began training together with S. Gezalyan. Soon the coach concludes a contract for training in the USA, and the choice falls on the couple Navka and Gezalyan. Tatyana moves even further from home and parents to distant New Jersey.
Sports career
Until 1991, Navka was a member of the USSR national team. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the couple began to compete for Belarus. The first major performances for young athletes were performances at the 1994 Olympics in Norway.
Then they just barely had enough points to get into the top ten. They took 11th place. Almost immediately after the Olympic Games, the couple Navka and Gezalyan broke up.
Tatyana's next ice dancing partner is N. Morozov, with whom she skated for a short time. They represented Belarus at the Olympics in Nagano in 1998. The result was slightly worse than the previous one - 16th place in the overall standings. In 1998, Roman Kostomarov became the 3rd and last sports partner. He is 2 years younger than Tatyana, but they had an ideal height difference for pairs figure skating.
Kostomarov is 12 cm taller than Tanya. Such a promising and talented partner was recommended by A. Zhulin, who would later become Navka’s coach and first husband.
The couple initially trained with Natalya Linichuk, who did not see the hidden talent in pairs. She decided to change her partner for Roman, offering him Anna Semenovich instead of Tatyana. Then Kostomarov was too young and inexperienced, and did not risk disobeying the coach. Left without a partner, Tatyana Navka left figure skating for some time after giving birth to her first child.
A few years later, Roman, realizing his mistake, apologized to Tatyana and asked to ride in pairs. Since 2000, the newly united couple began skating under the guidance of Tatyana’s coach and husband, A. Zhulin. The duet with Kostomarov brought long-awaited success on the ice arena. In 2003 they became Champions of the Russian Federation and received bronze at the European Championships.
Since 2004, skaters began to constantly take prizes in all competitions.

At the Olympic Games, the couple received a long-awaited victory for the free program “Carmen”. They climbed to the podium to the Russian anthem.
Olympic gold is not easy for athletes. This is facilitated by many years of hard work, without pity or rest. That is why Roman and Tatyana, having realized their dream in Turin, decide to end their sports career.
However, they decide that they will perform together in various exhibitions or professional projects. For your sporting achievements before the state, Tatyana Navka received an apartment in Moscow from the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation total area 180 sq. m.

At the invitation of Ilya Averbukh, she danced for some time main role V ice show-the musical “Carmen”, which ran for more than a month and a half with a constant sold-out house. However, the star was soon forced to refuse to participate in the musical due to a busy schedule.

Children,” she became one of the trainers of the project, in addition, she can be regularly seen on the Match TV channel as a commentator. Recently it became known that Tatyana Navka decided to become a co-owner of the Crimean company Galit, which is engaged in mining sea salt. They say that a certain childhood friend invited her to this project.
During the presidential elections in 2018, Navka was not the first to become a confidant of the current head of state, which led to a discussion in society about whether a person who lives most of the time in the United States of America and has living space there can act in such a role.

The girl’s parents, Raisa Anatolyevna and Alexander Petrovich, despite their “non-sports” professions, were involved in sports in their youth, so they encouraged their daughter’s hobby in every possible way. First, little Tanya learned to roller skate, and only then switched to ice skating.
Tatyana fell in love with sports since childhood, watching her idol, constantly going to his training sessions and asking for autographs. Thanks to the parents who hard times were able to buy professional skates for Tatyana; at the age of five, she replaced the roller skates she was already familiar with.

Sports career

With their partner Samvel Gezalyan, they defend the honor of the Soviet Union team. The couple's coach, Natalya Dubova, transported the skaters to the USA for training. It is noteworthy that in the future Navka will receive citizenship of this country. Due to the collapse of the Union, Navka and Gezalyan represent the Belarusian national team, taking 11th place at the XVII Winter Olympic Games. In the same 1994, they finished fifth at the World Championships, and a year later at the European Championships they took fourth place.
In 1996, this couple broke up, and Tatyana Navka began performing on the ice with Nikolai Morozov. This duet existed for two years. Representing Belarus, they became winners of the Karl Schaefer Memorial (an annual open tournament held in Vienna from 1974 to 2008), and also took part in the Olympic Games in the Japanese city of Nagano.
Since 1998, the figure skater has been a member of the Russian national team: at this time she has a new partner - whom Zhulin himself picked up for Tatyana. At first he tried to skate with her himself, but the small difference in height - only 5 centimeters - made the duo unattractive. And this couple had arguments too often. Therefore, Zhulin offered a place in the duet to Kostomarov. He agreed and, leaving the girl with whom he was skating at the time, began training with Navka.
Soon the creative duo Navka-Kostomarov, under the guidance of coach Alexander Zhulin, achieved brilliant results. By 2003, the couple took first place in the Russian Championship, and reached a prize place in the European Championship. It was an undeniable success.
“Queen of Ice” – Tatyana Navka deservedly received this title. She has something to be proud of: in her piggy bank large number gold, bronze and silver medals.

At the Olympics, Navka and Kostomarov showed the so-called “outstanding performance.” The judge's score was 101.37 points, which was lower than the pair's record (113.17), but it was quite enough for Olympic gold. Enthusiastic newspapers wrote: “ Tears of happiness flowed down Carmen's face" According to the ballet dancer, Tatyana Navka created a passionate, convincing image of Carmen on ice. Alexander Zhulin especially highlighted the figure skater’s penchant for risk, artistry and “phenomenal intuition.”
After winning the Olympics, Navka and Kostomarov decided to end their sports careers. However, the couple survived and continues to perform in professional shows and performances.
In 2010 it was released documentary, dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Tatyana Navka and her sports biography.
TV show
In addition to figure skating, the athlete enjoys dancing. The end of the figure skater’s sports career coincided with an ice show organized on Channel One, which was then held annually. Tatyana Navka became a kind of symbol of these projects, missing the season only once. The year 2006 was remembered by viewers of the “Stars on Ice” show, in which, together with an unsurpassed athlete, she took 1st place.
Since 2007, a new show “Ice Age” was launched, subsequently held annually. That season Tatyana worked with the actor, the couple managed to take 2nd place. The figure skater took the same level in the next season with, known from the films “Tatyana’s Day”, “Landing Tour” and “Delta”. In September 2008, she took part in the Eurovision Dance Competition: her partner was dancer Alexander Litvinenko. The couple took second place.
Tatyana Navka is a bright and talented woman. She is regularly invited to various television projects. It is noteworthy that not only those where you need to demonstrate sportsmanship. In 2008, she appeared in the top-rated vocal show “Two Stars”. In a duet with she sang the famous composition “A it's snowing", which at one time was performed by and.
Viewers were able to see Tatyana Navka on TV screens again in 2010. The popular TV show “Ice and Fire” again helped Tatyana Navka rise to first place. Her partner helped her with this. Throughout the season, this couple delighted the audience with bright numbers, beautiful dancing and acting skills.
In the next season of “Ice Age” in 2016, fans of the famous figure skater saw their favorite again. This time Tatyana Navka took to the ice with the actor. Particularly close attention was focused on this bright couple.
One issue of the project was dedicated to world cinema. The number about the Holocaust, which Navka and Burkovsky showed, caused heated debate and mixed reviews. The fact is that Ilya Averbukh, the couple’s mentor, settled on a too risky decision: the skaters took to the ice in costumes stylized as the striped robes of concentration camp prisoners during the Great Patriotic War. Patriotic War. Stripes in the form of six-pointed stars suggested that the spectators were Jewish prisoners.
The dance to the song “Beautiful That Way” from the legendary Italian film “Life is Beautiful” by Roberto Benigni was recognized as flawless. The jury gave the couple highest scores for skill and artistry. But the discussion in social networks What followed was like an explosion. Many decided that the issue on the Holocaust was a mockery of the memory of the tortured Jewish prisoners.
But not everyone came to this opinion. For example, the director responded to critics that if books are written and films are made on the topic of the Holocaust, then “why can’t this topic not be understood in this form.”
Personal life
Tatyana Navka’s personal life and her professional growth have long been associated with the name. The girl had been in love with this famous figure skater for a long time. She liked him even when he came to Dnepropetrovsk with his wife Maya Usova. Young Tanya and her friend came to the skating rink every day and asked the handsome man for his autograph. Soon she had collected a couple dozen of them.
It seems that fate itself brought them together. In Moscow, where the Ukrainian athlete came to study, she managed to get close to Zhulin. At this time, his marriage to Usova was coming apart at the seams.
Soon, 18-year-old Navka went to training camp in France. She secretly dreamed of meeting Alexander there. And they really met. As it turned out, the figure skater had liked the girl for a long time. The couple began to live together.
But they decided to register their relationship only after five years. This happened in one of the notary offices in America in the winter of 2000. And in May they had a daughter, Sasha. 2 weeks after her birth, the athlete returned to the skating rink.
The figure skater continued to actively participate in various sports shows. Project “Ice Age. The Best" brought her closer to the actor. In the fall of 2009, the couple went on the ice.
From the first broadcasts, the bright duet becomes the favorite of the program and wins the competition. But it wasn’t just the performance on the ice that attracted the attention of fans of the show. On social networks and media mass media they started talking about the romance that broke out between the two stars.
What added spice to these rumors was the fact that both heroes were not free. Lovelace Basharov was married to Elizaveta Krutsko. And the skater was married to Alexander Zhulin. However, even then there were rumors that not all was well in both families.
In 2010, it became known that the couple of skaters broke up completely. Rumors about the upcoming marriage of Basharov and Navka again excited show business. But whether there was an affair between Tatyana and Marat is unknown. They denied his existence. Perhaps the two stars were not lying, because the wedding, which everyone considered only a matter of time, never happened.
According to other sources, the couple actually lived together for some time. But Marat turned out to be too amorous, and Tatyana was tired of the rumors and gossip that well-wishers brought to her. In addition, they say that Basharov demanded that his future partner convert from Orthodoxy to the Muslim faith, to which she did not agree. And Marat’s mother allegedly did not like the blond beauty, who always wanted him to marry a Tatar woman, quiet and submissive, who would take care of the family hearth and not work in show business. Be that as it may, this couple did not go down the aisle.
Later, information appears about the novel of the titled athlete with the singer. They took part in the TV show “Ice and Fire” together. The media discussed that relations from the project migrated to real life. In terms of age, Tatyana Navka is 13 years older than Alexey. Soon Alexey Vorobyov found himself new passion in the face. Neither the artist nor the figure skater commented on these assumptions.
In 2010, the figure skater began an affair with a press secretary Russian President. They met at a mutual friend's birthday party. As the athlete admitted, Peskov courted her for a long time and patiently until she herself realized that she was in love.
For a long time the couple hid their relationship, which was due to marital status Peskova. Four years after the start of the relationship, Tatyana Navka gave birth to a daughter, Nadezhda. This event occurred on August 21, 2014.
Let us note that Tatyana Navka’s children never kept her on maternity leave for long. As a strong and talented athlete who loves her life’s work, she cannot exist without ice skating and training.
On August 1, 2015, it took place in Sochi. Tatyana Navka’s husband and the figure skater herself are very different people, but perhaps that is why the new marital union will turn out to be stronger than all the previous ones.
The famous figure skater Tatyana Navka is a true role model who shows how to go towards your goals and what you need to be like so that life is always interesting.
Tatyana's lucky number
In April 2016, figure skater Tatyana Navka turned 41 years old.

The coach was Tatiana's idol, whom she met in Prague in 1993, where Alexander became World Champion. And, as it turned out, this man was destined for her not only professionally. In 2000, they registered their marriage in New York.
For some time, for reasons beyond her control, Tatyana broke up with her partner. But after the birth of their daughter and the apology accepted from Roman, the couple again took to the ice and began a dizzying ascent to Olympus under the leadership of Zhulin and with the involvement of famous coaches Tatyana Tarasova and Elena Tchaikovskaya as consultants.
Significant milestones
Since 2004, the couple has taken only gold at absolutely all championships. The skaters took to the ice at the Turin Olympics (2006) with the Spanish dance “Carmen” (choreographed by T.
