biography

Tatyana Volososhar was born into a Russian-speaking family. Her father, a member of the army, comes from Nizhny Tagil and her mother from Kaliningrad . She has a sister. Her mother tongue is Russian; She doesn't speak Ukrainian perfectly, but it is understandable.

Volososhar started figure skating at the age of five. At the age of fourteen, she skated in pairs with Petr Kharthenko . With him she became Ukrainian youth champion in 2002 and after the runner-up title in 2003, Ukrainian champion for the first time in 2004. In the same year she changed her skating partner and since then started with Stanislaw Morosow . Wolossoshar / Morozov are four-time national champions (2005, 2007, 2008 and 2010) of Ukraine, 12th of the 2006 Winter Olympics and fourth of the 2007 World Cup and the 2008 , 2009 and 2010 European Championships . After the 2008 World Cup, they changed coach and trained with Ingo Steuer in Chemnitz until the 2010 Winter Olympics .

After the sporting separation from Stanislaw Morozov, who ended his ice skating career after the Olympic Winter Games in 2010 , Wolossoschar looked for a new partner and found him in Maxim Trankov . She moved to Moscow and received citizenship from Russia at the end of 2010 . Volososhar and Trankov became Russian champions straight away in December 2010 and won their first world championship medal with silver in Moscow in 2011 . They achieved a total number of points of a remarkable 210.73 points. With that they established themselves as the greatest challengers of the three-time world champions Aljona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy .

In autumn 2011, Wolososhar and Trankov won their first joint Grand Prix competition with their victory at Skate Canada . They were also victorious in the Eric Bompard Trophy . At the Grand Prix final, they were very closely defeated by 0.18 points to Savchenko and Szolkowy and set a new personal best in the overall performance with 212.08 points.

In the absence of their competitors Savchenko and Szolkowy due to injury, Wolossoschar and Trankow were European champions for the first time in Sheffield .

The 2012 World Cup in Nice started with an unusual dropout for the Russians. In the short program, Trankow had to get out of the death spiral. This and other mistakes meant only eighth place for the time being, the gap to Savchenko and Szolkowy was a considerable 8.15 points. In spite of all this, in the freestyle it was unexpectedly exciting again. Wolossoshar and Trankow had nothing more to lose and electrified the audience with their powerful and flawless freestyle to the film music of Black Swan . Savchenko and Szolkowy, on the other hand, did not make a mistake and lost almost their entire lead over the Russians. In the end, Wolossoshar and Trankow were only 0.11 points short of the title.

In 2013 Wolossoschar and Trankow were able to successfully defend their title at the European Figure Skating Championships in Zagreb , relegating the German couple Savchenko and Szolkowy to second place. At the World Championships in London , Canada , Wolossoshar and Trankow became world champions for the first time. They achieved a world record of points in the freestyle and overall performance.

At the 2014 Winter Olympics , the couple won the gold medal.

Volososhar and Trankov are also a couple privately and have been married since August 2015.
