Alexander Fadejew began figure skating as a young child. His parents gave him his first ice skates. The father Vladimir, an electronics engineer by profession, really had nothing to do with figure skating. Mother Anna, a doctor by profession, was the driving force behind Alexander Fadeev's figure skating career.

Alexander Fadejew was the first figure skater to show the combination of triple axel and double loop. His greatest successes were the world championship in 1985 , a total of four European championships and the junior world championship in 1980. He could not win a medal at the Olympic Games .

During his amateur days, Alexander Fadeev studied sports. After that, he went to the pros and appeared in several ice shows. Today he lives with his wife Cydèle, a former Canadian figure skater, near Chicago in the USA , where both work as coaches.
