| Ilia Averbukh was Junior World Champion of 1990 and 1992 with Marina Anissina, when he fell in love with Irina |
| Lobacheva, who skated in the same group but with another partner. In 1992, they joined forces and they got |
| married in 1995. They moved to the USA in 1995, but they still consider Russia to be their home. The couple |
| missed all Grand Prix competitions in 2001 as Lobacheva injured her left knee in a practice accident in September |
| 2001. Following their skating career, Lobacheva wants to open a fitness club and Averbukh aspires to work as a |
| TV journalist. He has already done commentary for Russian TV. |
