Many lovers and connoisseurs of figure skating are well aware of the smiling and handsome young man who in recent years often appears on television as a participant and host of various ice shows. His name is Peter Chernyshov.
Childhood
The future skater was born in the beautiful city of Leningrad, in a family of intellectuals. Peter's parents - Andrei Petrovich and Lyubov Vasilievna - are engineers. They named their son in honor of the grandfather Peter Chernyshov, the four-time champion of the USSR in individual figure skating, who spoke in the 30s. Peter's younger brother never professionally went in for sports, although he enjoys skating.
The sports biography of Peter Chernyshov (skater) by today's standards did not start very early. He began to play sports at the age of six. Already at the age of eight, he began to regularly travel to sports competitions and training camps. At such a young age, the boy spent more than two hundred days a year away from home.
Career
The biography of Peter Chernyshov (skater) is inextricably linked with sports. He started as a loner. In the eighties, he was part of a small group of athletes who perfectly mastered the technique of triple jump. Peter repeatedly won the championships of Leningrad, took pride of place in the championships of the Soviet Union and Russia. Somewhat later, Pyotr Chernyshov, a skater whose biography would seem to be forever associated with solo skating, abruptly changed his role and became interested in sports dancing. His very first partner was a young novice athlete Sofya Eliazova. Her mother advised Peter to move to the United States.
In 1992, Chernyshov, along with his wife, by that time the famous and popular athlete Natalya Annenko, who also practiced ice dancing, moved to the United States and began to train with Sophia in Lake Placid at the school of Natalya Dubova. Unfortunately, the couple did not achieve significant results and soon broke up.
The biography of Peter Chernyshov (skater) makes a sharp turn when Natalya Dubova invites Naomi Lang from Detroit. In their first sports season, the newly created couple takes third place in the United States Championship, then five times they become champions of the country. In 2001, Peter receives citizenship of the United States, and a couple of Chernyshov-Lang becomes a participant in the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, the performance was not very successful, as a result they took only 11th place. The pair achieves better results at the world championships and in individual stages of the Grand Prix, where they manage to enter the top five. In the season of the two thousandth year in the overall standings, they occupy third place. The biography of Pyotr Chernyshov, an experienced skater, also knows great victories. In 2000 and 2002, Chernyshov and Lang became champions of the Four Continents Championship. In early 2003, Peter finished speaking and began coaching.
Today, many fans are interested in the question of how old Pyotr Chernyshov is. The skater turned 43 on February 6, 2014.
Personal life
The biography of Peter Chernyshov - a skater, coach, showman - consists not only of wrestling. A great place in it is personal life. Peter's first marriage was in 1988 with Natalia Annenko. It lasted seven years, and even after a divorce, the ex-spouse always speaks very warmly and respectfully of Peter. The breakup was due to the nascent sympathy of Peter for his partner Naomi Lang. After a divorce from Natalia, an affair with an American skater began to develop, but before the wedding, it did not come to a head. In 2008, Chernyshov married actress Anastasia Zavorotnyuk.
