Family of figure skaters

Katya is a Muscovite. She was born in a sports family on March 28, 1990. Catherine's parents are famous athletes. Her dad is a legendary Soviet skier. Mom successfully performed at the athletics competitions for the USSR national team, winning the victory from worthy opponents.

The Bobrov family has two daughters, and both professional athletes. Ekaterina chose a career as a figure skater, and her sister Svetlana shone herself into acrobatic rock and roll. Bobrova Ekaterina got on skates when she was 4 years old.

The path from single skating to paired

Until 2000, the athlete skated alone on the ice. She did not manage to jump, and the technique of riding was more suitable for dancing on ice, so the mentors recommended the skater to think about pair skating. Katya agreed to create a duet with Dmitry Solovyov. Since 2001, skaters have competed together.

Luck to the athletes did not come right away. They had to change several mentors in order to achieve high sports results. The professional level of the pair grew significantly when they were trained by Alexander Zhulin.

At the 2006 junior championships in Russia, Ekaterina Bobrova and her partner entered the top ten young figure skaters, finishing 8th. In 2007, the duo rolled back the program much more successfully. The couple, having won the national championship, got a chance to perform at the world junior championship. The duo became the winner of international competitions.

Ascent of the star

In 2008, the pair will enter the fight for the championship title at the national championship of Russia among adult figure skaters. Dmitry Soloviev and Ekaterina Bobrova will become bronze medalists of this competition (although Domnina's strong duet Shabalin will not participate in the tournament).

Young athletes who won the third place will become participants of the prestigious international competition. They will go to the world championship to represent Russia, where they confidently roll back the prepared program. But the lack of experience will not allow Catherine and Dmitry to rise above 13th place.

They will perform an average in 2009 as well. At the Russian championship, the pair will get only the 4th place. Such a result will not allow athletes to qualify for the World Cup. Universiade skaters will bring only the fifth place. At the international Grand Prix contenders will not allow Dima and Kate to rise above 4 - 6 places.

At the end of the season, Ekaterina Bobrova, together with her partner and coach, analyzed all the shortcomings. This allowed the pair at the Russian championship to win "silver". At the 2010 World Championship, it was not easy to fight for the silver medalists. But they managed to enter the top ten strongest skaters.
