Olga Dmitriyevna Markova (born 22 January 1974) is a Russian former competitive figure skater who currently works as a coach, choreographer, and technical specialist. As a competitive skater, she won the bronze medal at the 1994 European Figure Skating Championships and the silver at the 1995 European Championships. She also was a Russian National Champion and was known for her artistry and avant garde style. Her highest placement at the World Figure Skating Championships was fifth, which she achieved in 1995. That year she was 2nd after short program, ahead of the eventual gold and silver medalists Lu Chen and Surya Bonaly. Being unable to land a clean triple lutz in the long program dropped her off the podium.
In 1998 she turned professional and earned a silver medal at the World Professional Figure Skating Championships in Jaca, Spain. Markova has coached and choreographed for Kristina Oblasova and currently coaches Adrian Alvarado.
She is an ISU Technical Specialist for Russia.[1]
