He is the [[Russian Figure Skating Championships|2007 Russian national champion]] and [[World Junior Figure Skating Championships|2004 World Junior Champion]].
'''Andrei Vladimirovich Griazev''' ({{lang-ru|Андрей Владимирович Грязев}}; born 26 July 1985) is a Russian former competitive [[figure skater]]. He is the [[2005 Cup of China]] and [[2007 Cup of Russia]] bronze medalist, [[2004 World Junior Figure Skating Championships|2004 World Junior]] champion, and [[2007 Russian Figure Skating Championships|2007 Russian national]] champion.


== Career ==
== Personal life ==
Griazev was born 26 July 1985 in [[Perm, Russia|Perm]], [[Russian SFSR]], Soviet Union.<ref name=ISU-0708/>
Griazev began skating at the age of four. At the age of 11, he moved from Perm to [[St. Petersburg]], to train with famous coach [[Alexei Mishin]] at the Yublieney training center.


== Career ==
During his time training with Mishin, Griazev got the [[Axel jump|triple Axel]]. After several years with Mishin, Griazev placed a disappointing 14th at the [[World Junior Figure Skating Championships]] in 2002. After this, Mishin sent Griazev to work with Mishin's wife, [[Tatiana Mishina]]. Frustrated and disappointed, Griazev left Yublieney, went home to Perm, and did no skating at all for several months. Reportedly, his mother had contact with former training mate [[Alexei Yagudin]], who suggested Griazev train with [[Tatiana Tarasova]]. Griazev moved to the [[United States]] to train with Tarasova.<ref name=absk03>{{cite news | url = http://absoluteskating.com/index.php?cat=interviews&id=2003andreigriazev | title = Interview with Andrei Griazev | last = Osborne | first = Magdalena |year = 2003 | work = AbsoluteSkating.com | accessdate = February 7, 2011}}</ref> He became the 2004 [[World Junior Figure Skating Championships|World Junior Champion]]. That same year, he placed third at Russian senior nationals and earned a chance to compete at the [[European Figure Skating Championships]] and [[World Figure Skating Championships]], where he placed 8th and 12th, respectively.
Griazev began skating at the age of four.<ref name=ISU-0304/> At the age of 11, he moved from Perm to [[Saint Petersburg]] to train with coach [[Alexei Mishin]].<ref name=ISU-0304/> He trained at the [[Yubileyny Sports Palace]].


During his time training with Mishin, Griazev learned the triple [[Axel jump]]. Griazev placed 14th at the [[2002 World Junior Figure Skating Championships|2002 Junior Worlds]], after which Mishin sent him to work with his wife, [[Tatiana Mishina]]. Griazev left Yubileyny, returned to Perm, and did not skate at all for three months.<ref name=ISU-0304/> In summer 2002, Griazev moved to [[Newington, Connecticut]], to train with [[Tatiana Tarasova]] on the suggestion of [[Alexei Yagudin]].<ref name=ISU-0203/><ref name=AS2003/> He became the [[2004 World Junior Figure Skating Championships|2004 World Junior Champion]]. That same year, he won bronze at Russian senior nationals and earned a chance to compete at the [[2004 European Figure Skating Championships|2004 European Championships]] and [[2004 World Figure Skating Championships|2004 World Championships]], where he placed 8th and 12th, respectively.
In 2005, Griazev suffered a back injury and had to withdraw from [[Skate America]]. He struggled at [[Cup of Russia]], placing 7th, but then earned silver at Russian Nationals. He went again to European championships, placing an impressive 5th, and moved up a place at Worlds to 11th.


During the 2004–05 season, Griazev sustained a back injury and had to withdraw from the [[2004 Skate America]].<ref name=ISU-0405/> He was 7th at [[2004 Cup of Russia]] but then earned silver at Russian Nationals. He went again to the [[2005 European Figure Skating Championships|European Championships]], where he placed 5th, and moved up a spot at [[2005 World Figure Skating Championships|Worlds]] to 11th.
2006 proved to be a year of highs and lows. As Tarasova had returned to Russia, Griazev did also, training with both Tarasova and [[Elena Vodorezova]]. Griazev had a very disappointing performance at [[Skate Canada International]], placing 9th out of 11 men. The very next week, however, he won the bronze medal at [[Cup of China]], his first senior Grand Prix medal. At that competition, he was in the lead after the short program, and earned new personal best scores for his short program, long program, and overall total.


For the 2005–06 season, Tarasova returned to Russia and so Griazev did as well, training with both Tarasova and [[Elena Vodorezova]] in Moscow. Griazev was 9th out of 11 men at the [[2005 Skate Canada International]]. The very next week, however, he won the bronze medal at [[2005 Cup of China]], his first senior Grand Prix medal. At that competition, he was in the lead after the short program, and earned new personal best scores for his short program, long program, and overall total. At the [[2006 Russian Figure Skating Championships|2006 Russian nationals]], Griazev finished 9th and did not receive a berth to the European Championships and the Olympics. Due to the withdrawal of other skaters, Griazev was sent to [[2006 World Figure Skating Championships|2006 Worlds]], where he struggled in the qualifying and short programs, but performed a strong long program. Griazev returned to Russia in March 2006 to take part in the Italian Carnival skating tour produced by [[Ilia Averbukh]]. He had also taken part in this tour the previous year. His touring schedule was cut short when he sustained a knee injury and had to undergo surgery.<ref name=FSO080112/>
What looked like a near certainty to medal at Russian nationals faltered, when Griazev struggled badly in both programs and placed a disappointing 9th. He missed going to Europeans and the Olympics. Due to the withdrawal of other skaters, Griazev was sent to 2006 Worlds, where he had uninspiring qualifying and short programs, but performed a nearly flawless long program.


For the 2006–07 season, Griazev continued to struggle with consistency, as well as suffering illness at several competitions. At both the [[2006 Trophée Eric Bompard]] and [[2006 Cup of Russia]], he finished 7th. At the [[2007 Russian Figure Skating Championships|2007 Russian Championships]], Griazev trailed [[Andrei Lutai]] after the short program but placed ahead in the long program and won his first national title. He went on to the [[2007 European Figure Skating Championships|2007 European Championships]], where he finished 16th and as a result missed the Russian team for the [[2007 World Figure Skating Championships|2007 World Championships]]. He spent spring 2007 performing with Averbukh's skating tour, which traveled to over twenty cities in Russia, as well as shows in Lithuania, Latvia, and Israel.<ref name=FSO070426/>
Griazev returned to Russia in March 2006 to take part in the "Italian Carnival" skating tour produced by [[Ilia Averbukh]]. He had also taken part in this tour the previous year. His touring schedule was cut short when he suffered a meniscus tear and had to leave the tour to undergo surgery.


For the 2006-2007 season, Griazev continued to struggle with consistency, as well has suffering illness at several competitions. At both the [[2006 Trophée Eric Bompard]] and [[2006 Cup of Russia]], he finished 7th. He twice finished third behind Ilia Klimkin and Sergei Dobrin at two Russia Cup events going into [[Russian Figure Skating Championships|2007 Russian Championships]].
For the 2007–08 season, Griazev was initially assigned to the [[2007 Nebelhorn Trophy]] competition in Oberdstorf, Germany, but injured ligaments in his ankle in September 2007 and had to withdraw from the event.<ref name=FSO080112/> He won the bronze at the [[2007 Cup of Russia]] in Moscow and placed 7th at the [[2007 NHK Trophy]]. He won the bronze medal at the [[2008 Russian Figure Skating Championships|2008 Russian Championships]].


Griazev placed 5th at the [[2009 Russian Figure Skating Championships|2009 Russian Championships]]. He retired from competitive skating following that season. In November 2009, he began skating on cruise ships.<ref name=IN130725/>
At the 2007 [[Russian Figure Skating Championships]], Griazev was finally able to put together two good programs. Although trailing [[Andrei Lutai]] after the short program, Griazev managed to perform a near error-free long program to win his first national title.

After that, he went to the [[2007 European Figure Skating Championships]], where he was unable to maintain the level of competition he showed at Nationals. Griazev finished 16th. He was not placed on the Russian team for the [[2007 World Figure Skating Championships]]. However, he did spend spring 2007 again on Ilia Averbukh's skating tour, which traveled across Russia, as well as shows in Lithuania, Latvia and Israel. His programs on tour were to "Harlem Nocturne", by Earl Hagen, and "You can leave your hat on", by Joe Cocker.

For the 2007-2008 season, Griazev was initially assigned to the [[2007 Nebelhorn Trophy]] competition in Oberdstorf, Germany, but had to withdraw due to injury. He won the bronze at the [[2007 Cup of Russia]] in Moscow and placed 7th at the [[2007 NHK Trophy]]. He won the bronze medal at the [[2008 Russian Figure Skating Championships]].

He placed 5th at the [[2009 Russian Figure Skating Championships]]. He retired from competitive skating following that season.

Andrei Vladimirovich Griazev (Russian: Андрей Владимирович Грязев; born 26 July 1985) is a Russian former competitive figure skater. He is the 2005 Cup of China and 2007 Cup of Russia bronze medalist, 2004 World Junior champion, and 2007 Russian national champion.

Personal life

Griazev was born 26 July 1985 in Perm, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union.[1]

Career

Griazev began skating at the age of four.[2] At the age of 11, he moved from Perm to Saint Petersburg to train with coach Alexei Mishin.[2] He trained at the Yubileyny Sports Palace.

During his time training with Mishin, Griazev learned the triple Axel jump. Griazev placed 14th at the 2002 Junior Worlds, after which Mishin sent him to work with his wife, Tatiana Mishina. Griazev left Yubileyny, returned to Perm, and did not skate at all for three months.[2] In summer 2002, Griazev moved to Newington, Connecticut, to train with Tatiana Tarasova on the suggestion of Alexei Yagudin.[3][4] He became the 2004 World Junior Champion. That same year, he won bronze at Russian senior nationals and earned a chance to compete at the 2004 European Championships and 2004 World Championships, where he placed 8th and 12th, respectively.

During the 2004–05 season, Griazev sustained a back injury and had to withdraw from the 2004 Skate America.[5] He was 7th at 2004 Cup of Russia but then earned silver at Russian Nationals. He went again to the European Championships, where he placed 5th, and moved up a spot at Worlds to 11th.

For the 2005–06 season, Tarasova returned to Russia and so Griazev did as well, training with both Tarasova and Elena Vodorezova in Moscow. Griazev was 9th out of 11 men at the 2005 Skate Canada International. The very next week, however, he won the bronze medal at 2005 Cup of China, his first senior Grand Prix medal. At that competition, he was in the lead after the short program, and earned new personal best scores for his short program, long program, and overall total. At the 2006 Russian nationals, Griazev finished 9th and did not receive a berth to the European Championships and the Olympics. Due to the withdrawal of other skaters, Griazev was sent to 2006 Worlds, where he struggled in the qualifying and short programs, but performed a strong long program. Griazev returned to Russia in March 2006 to take part in the Italian Carnival skating tour produced by Ilia Averbukh. He had also taken part in this tour the previous year. His touring schedule was cut short when he sustained a knee injury and had to undergo surgery.[6]

For the 2006–07 season, Griazev continued to struggle with consistency, as well as suffering illness at several competitions. At both the 2006 Trophée Eric Bompard and 2006 Cup of Russia, he finished 7th. At the 2007 Russian Championships, Griazev trailed Andrei Lutai after the short program but placed ahead in the long program and won his first national title. He went on to the 2007 European Championships, where he finished 16th and as a result missed the Russian team for the 2007 World Championships. He spent spring 2007 performing with Averbukh's skating tour, which traveled to over twenty cities in Russia, as well as shows in Lithuania, Latvia, and Israel.[7]

For the 2007–08 season, Griazev was initially assigned to the 2007 Nebelhorn Trophy competition in Oberdstorf, Germany, but injured ligaments in his ankle in September 2007 and had to withdraw from the event.[6] He won the bronze at the 2007 Cup of Russia in Moscow and placed 7th at the 2007 NHK Trophy. He won the bronze medal at the 2008 Russian Championships.

Griazev placed 5th at the 2009 Russian Championships. He retired from competitive skating following that season. In November 2009, he began skating on cruise ships.[8]
