With partner Roman Kostomarov, she is the 2006 Olympic champion, a two-time World champion (2004–05), a three-time Grand Prix Final champion (2003–05), and a three-time European champion (2004–06). Earlier in her career, she competed for the Soviet Union and Belarus.
Personal life
Tatiana Navka was born on 13 April 1975 in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union.[1] She is the daughter of Raisa, an economist, and Aleksandr, an engineer, and has a younger sister, Natalia.[2][3] In 1988, she moved to Moscow Oblast, Russian SFSR, having been invited to train under Natalia Dubova.[3][4] She was a citizen of Belarus by 1994 and of Russia no later than 2002.[5] She formerly resided in New Jersey.[1]
In 2000, Navka married Russian ice dancer Alexander Zhulin.[1] Their daughter, Sasha, was born in May 2000 in the United States.[1][4] The couple filed for divorce in the summer of 2009, with Zhulin publicly confirming their divorce in October 2010.[6]
Navka and Russian diplomat Dmitry Peskov, the press spokesman for Vladimir Putin, have a daughter, Nadezhda (Nadia), born in August 2014 in Russia.[7][4] They got married on 1 August 2015, after Peskov finalized the divorce with his second wife.[8]
Career
Early career
Tatiana Navka became interested in skating at the age of five after seeing it on television.[9] Tamara Yarchevskaya and Alexander Rozhin coached her during her early years as a single skater.[3] In 1987, following a 14 cm growth spurt that hampered her jumps, her parents were advised that she should try ice dancing.[3]
In 1988, at the invitation of Russian coach Natalia Dubova, Navka relocated to Moscow and began training at the Moskvich sports club, partnered with Samuel Gezalian.[3] The two represented the Soviet Union early in their career, winning gold at the 1991 Skate America and 1991 Nations Cup. Following the country's dissolution, Navka/Gezalian chose to skate for Belarus. They placed ninth in their debut at the European and World Championships, in 1993.
In the 1993–94 season, Navka/Gezalian won silver at the 1993 Skate Canada International and placed fourth at the 1993 NHK Trophy. They competed at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, placing 11th, before achieving their career-best Worlds result, fifth at the 1994 World Championships in Chiba, Japan. In 1994–95, Navka/Gezalian won silver at the 1994 NHK Trophy and went on to achieve their best European result, fourth, at the 1995 European Championships in Dortmund. Their partnership came to an end following the 1995 World Championships, where they placed seventh.
Navka teamed up with Nikolai Morozov in 1996,[10] continuing to represent Belarus. At their first practice at the 1997 World Championships, Morozov sustained a torn meniscus in his knee but they finished 14th at the event and he then underwent surgery.[10] They earned an Olympic berth by winning gold at the 1997 Karl Schäfer Memorial.[10] 90 seconds into their free dance at the 1998 Winter Olympics, nearly three-quarters of the floodlights turned off but Navka/Morozov did not interrupt their performance.[11] They finished 16th at the Olympics in Nagano, Japan, and 10th at the 1998 World Championships in Minneapolis. They were coached by Alexander Zhulin and Bob Young at the International Skating Center in Simsbury, Connecticut.[12] Following 1998 Worlds, Navka ended the partnership to compete with another skater.[10]
Partnership with Kostomarov
Navka then teamed up with Roman Kostomarov and began competing for Russia during the 1998–99 season. They were coached by Natalia Linichuk.[13] They won the bronze medal at the Russian Championships and were sent to the World Championships in their first season together, placing 12th. Linichuk then dissolved the team and paired Kostomarov with Anna Semenovich.[13] Navka became pregnant with her daughter and took a year off from competition.
In mid-2000, Kostomarov called Navka and asked to skate with her again.[1] They were coached by Alexander Zhulin in Hackensack and Montclair, New Jersey.[14][1][13] Navka/Kostomarov won the World title in 2004 and again in 2005. They also won three European titles from 2004–2006. They then won gold at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
Navka/Kostomarov retired from competition after the Olympics but continue to skate in shows together.
Later career
Navka has partnered with Russian celebrities to compete in Channel One Russia ice shows: Stars On Ice, which she won with actor Marat Basharov, and Ice Age, in which she was runner-up with actor Ville Haapasalo. In the 2008–09 season of Ice Age, she was runner-up for the second time, partnered with actor Vadim Kolganov.
In September 2008, Navka, together with professional dancer Alexander Litvinenko, took part in the Eurovision Dance Contest 2008.[15] In October 2011, she became a 2014 Winter Olympics (Sochi) ambassador.[16]

- ↑ Unlike most skating competitions, the Olympics require that competitors be citizens of the country they are representing. Consequently, it is likely that Navka was granted Belarusian citizenship by 1994 and retained it until 1998, if not later (she competed for Belarus at the 1994 and 1998 Winter Olympics). She was a Russian citizen by 2002 as she represented Russia at that year's Winter Olympics.
