Career

edit

Domnina began skating at the age of six inKirovand took upice dancingtwo years later due to her height.[1][2]Early in her career, she competed with Ivan Lobanov andMaxim Bolotin.

Partnership with Shabalin

edit

Domnina was paired withMaxim Shabalinin May 2002 by coachAlexei Gorshkov.[3]In their first season together, they won every junior level competition they entered, including the2002–03 Junior Grand Prix Finaland the2003 World Junior Championships.[4]

Shabalin sustained ameniscusinjury in spring 2007 and had surgery on his right knee in May.[3][5]They initially worked on a free dance toSchindler's Listbut when they wanted to add a faster section they thought it looked too much like a hodgepodge; after consultation withTatiana Tarasova,they began working on a new free dance toMasquerade Waltzat the start of August.[5]In September 2007, Shabalin also had surgery due toappendicitis.[3]He then had problems with his left knee and had another operation in December.[3]He returned to win the2008 Europeansbut limped off the ice.[3][5]The pain persisted despite therapy, preventing them from training fully and resulting in their withdrawal from the 2008 World Championships.[3]Shabalin spent five weeks in treatment in Munich, Germany, while Domnina trained on her own inOdintsovo,nearMoscow.[3]

In June 2008, Domnina/Shabalin announced they were leaving their longtime coachAlexei Gorshkovand moving from Russia to theUnited Statesto train with husband-and-wife coachesNatalia LinichukandGennadi Karponosovat theIceWorks Skating ComplexinAston, Pennsylvania.[6]Domnina said they had been very comfortable in Odintsovo and it was a difficult decision to make.[3]The move was considered surprising as their rivalsTanith Belbin/Benjamin Agostohad also moved to the same coaches a couple months prior, but Domnina said the competition at the rink was stimulating.[3]

Domnina/Shabalin won the silver medal at the 2008–09 Grand Prix Final, and then took gold at 2009 Worlds. Afterwards, Shabalin returned to Germany for another four months of therapy on his left knee.[7]They missed the2009–10 Grand Prix seriesas a result of his knee problems.[7]They resumed training in November 2009. Shabalin decided to use a brace in practice and competition to limit the movement and protect his knee.[7]

Domnina/Shabalin perform their controversial original dance at the 2010 Olympics.

Theiroriginal dancebased onAustralian Aboriginalfolk dances sparked controversy in early 2010. Australian Aboriginal leaders were offended by the dance. Domnina/Shabalin said they meant no disrespect and would do the dance at the Olympics. When it was first skated at the2010 Russian Championships,they woreface makeupbut removed it for the2010 European Championships.[8]Domnina/Shabalin won the bronze medal at the 2010 Olympics and withdrew from the World Championships as a result of continued problems with his knee. They decided not to compete during the 2010–11 season to allow Shabalin to fully recover. In July 2010, Domnina announced on the team's official site that she was not ready to retire, despite the insistence of her mother and boyfriend to leave the sport, and that a decision would be made in 2011.[9]She also denied rumors suggesting she would team up withRoman Kostomarovbut added "Never say never."[9]
