Elena Anatolyevna Garanina (Russian: Елена Анатольевна Гаранина; born 19 October 1956)[1] is a former ice dancer who represented the Soviet Union. With Igor Zavozin, she is the 1978 Nebelhorn Trophy[2] and 1981 Winter Universiade champion. They never made it to the World Figure Skating Championships due to the depth of the Soviet dance field.[3] After turning pro, the duo performed in Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's ice shows.
Garanina currently works as a coach. Her students have included:
- Morgan Matthews / Maxim Zavozin[4]
- Katherine Copely / Deividas Stagniūnas[5]
- Kayla Nicole Frey / Deividas Stagniūnas[6]
Garanina was formerly married to Igor Zavozin.[7] Their son, ice dancer Maxim Zavozin, was born on 2 March 1985 in Moscow.[4] Garanina's second husband, Valery Spiridonov, competed in pairs. She gave birth to their son, Anton Spiridonov, on 5 August 1998 in the United States.[8]
