Igor Zavozin

Igor Zavozin is a former Soviet ice dancer. With partner and later-wife Elena Garanina, he represented the Soviet Union in international competition, winning the 1978 Nebelhorn Trophy[1] and 1981 Winter Universiade, although they never made it to the World Figure Skating Championships due to the depth of the Soviet dance field.[2] After turning pro, Garanina and Zavozin toured with Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean. They are the parents of American ice dancer Maxim Zavozin and have since divorced.[3] Igor Zavozin is now an international ISU judge for Armenia.[4][5]
