Tatiana Navka ( Ukrainian Тетяна Олександрівна Навка , Russian Татьяна Александровна Навка * 13. April 1975 in Dnepropetrovsk ) is a former Russian figure skater who for the Soviet Union , Belarus and Russia in ice dancing started.

Career

Tatiana Nawka started figure skating at the age of five. She initially trained as a single runner with the trainer, who also started with Oksana Bajul . When she was twelve, however, she had difficulty jumping because of a surge in growth .

She came to trainer Natalja Dubowa in Moscow and trained together with Samuel Gesoljan , who later became German champion in ice dance with Jennifer Goolsbee . The pair Nawka / Gesoljan started for Belarus .

In 1997 Tatjana Nawka found a new ice dance partner in Nikolai Morosow , who is now a successful ice dance trainer and choreographer. He too came from Belarus. Her new trainer was Alexander Schulin . The partnership with Nikolai Morozov ended after the 1998 World Championships because Nikolai Morozov ended his amateur career.

In 1998 Tatjana Nawka and Roman Kostomarow ran their first season together. They were trained by Natalja Linitschuk and Gennady Karponosov in Newark , Delaware . At Natalja Linitschuk's instigation, Roman Kostomarow changed partners and henceforth trained with Anna Semenowitsch , a former partner of Vladimir Fyodorow . Tatjana Nawka married the trainer and former ice dancer Alexander Schulin in 2000 and took a baby break. Their daughter Sasha was born in May 2000.

After Roman Kostomarow broke up with Anna Semenowitsch due to unsuccessfulness and Tatjana Nawka had ended her maternity leave, both started together again. From then on, they trained with Nawka's husband Alexander Schulin and with Jelena Tschaikowskaja in Hackensack , New Jersey .

In 2003 Nawka and Kostomarow went for the first time as Russian champions . At the European Championships they won their first bronze medal at a major international championship.

The 2003/2004 season began with victories in all Grand Prix competitions in which they took part, namely Skate Canada , Cup of Russia and Cup of China . They also won the Grand Prix final . They also defended their title at the Russian championships. They became European champions for the first time in Budapest and world champions for the first time in Dortmund . Thus, they won all competitions in which they competed this season.

After Nawka and Kostomarow had defended their title at the Grand Prix final in the 2004/2005 season, they also defended their European championship title in Turin and their world championship title in Moscow .

In the 2005/2006 season, Nawka and Kostomarow won the Grand Prix final for the third time in a row. In Lyon they became European champions for the third time in a row. At the end of their careers they won Olympic gold in Turin . At the Olympic Games, the compulsory dance and the original dance were characterized by an unusually large number of mistakes and falls by medal candidates for ice dancing. After Nawka / Kostomarow had taken second place in the compulsory dance, they won both the original dance and the compulsory dance and thus became Olympic champions. They had made the fewest mistakes across all three sub-competitions.

At the end of 2007, Nawka and Schulin announced their separation.

In 2015 she married the Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov .
