Personal life
Maxim Trankov was born in Perm. His mother was an athlete, competing in running and 400 meter hurdles, and his father in equestrian sports.[6] His father taught him to ride a horse.[7] Trankov is a fan of Russian hip-hop and writes music himself.[8] He has an elder brother, Alexei.[9]
Early years
Trankov first stepped onto the ice in the fall of 1987 in Perm; his parents wanted him involved in a sport.[9] He left skating for a while but returned and joined the husband-and-wife coaches Valeri Tiukov and Valentina Tiukova.[9][10] Trankov was growing quite tall and a coach suggested he take up pair skating when he was 11.[9][6][11] He recalled, "I said no at first because I was afraid to grab the hand of a girl, but I tried it and then I liked it."[11]
He first skated with Olesya Korchagina for two years, then Ksenia Vasilieva for two years, then Irina Bogomolova. In the summer of 1999 at age 15, he was invited to Saint Petersburg to skate with Irina Ulanova, the daughter of Alexei Ulanov and Lyudmila Smirnova.[9][8]
Trankov and fellow pair skater Alexander Smirnov lived at the rink, sleeping in the stands or in the coaches' room, and struggled for food but told their parents they were staying in a dormitory.[7] After about a year and a half, Trankov moved in with soldiers who had quarters under the tribune.[8] He was given one free cafeteria meal a day and someone would occasionally bring him food.[8] After three years, he was able to get his own apartment.[8]
Trankov and Ulanova skated together for three years and were fifth at the Russian Junior Championships,[9] but the partnership dissolved when he was 18 due to height and jumping issues.[7] An acquaintance suggested a partner in the U.S. but Trankov's visa application was declined.[7] He joined husband-and-wife coaches Ludmila Velikova and Nikolai Velikov shortly after in 2002.[9] He skated for one year with Natalia Shestakova; had he joined the group a few months earlier, the Velikovs would have paired him with Julia Obertas.[7] Maria Mukhortova and her partner, Pavel Lebedev, were also in the same practice group; in 2002, Mukhortova declined to switch partners due to her good results with Lebedev but friction with him would lead her to accept Trankov's offer a year later.[8]
Partnership with Mukhortova
Trankov teamed up with Mukhortova in 2003. They were coached by Ludmila Velikova and Nikolai Velikov.[6] In their first season together, they won the bronze medal at the Junior Grand Prix Final and at the World Junior Championships, both times placing behind Lebedev and Shestakova. They also won the Russian junior title. The following season, they won gold medals on the junior Grand Prix circuit and also debuted on the senior Grand Prix circuit at 2004 Cup of Russia where they finished 6th. They went on to win the Junior Grand Prix Final and then the 2005 World Junior title.
During the 2005-2006 season, they were given two senior GP assignments, Skate Canada and Cup of Russia, where they placed 7th and 4th respectively. They won the bronze medal at the senior Russian Nationals and were sent to the World Championships after Olympic champions Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin withdrew; they finished 12th in their debut at the event.
Early in their career together, they were known for their stormy partnership and frequent coaching changes.[12] The Velikovs suggested he team up with Tatiana Volosozhar but the topic was dropped following the 2006 World Championships when the pair switched coaches to Tamara Moskvina.[7] Arguments between Trankov and Mukhortova were frequent and they split up briefly.[7][13] He would have liked to skate with Volosozhar but she was already in a happy partnership with Stanislav Morozov, so it was assumed she would say no.[7] He resumed skating with Mukhortova but the quarrels continued and Moskvina passed the pair on to Artur Dmitriev in October 2006.[14] In a 2011 interview, Trankov conceded they had not been ideal students, "Frankly, if I were her I would have kicked us out even earlier."[15] In late 2006, they were on the verge of ending their career together, however, Tatiana Tarasova dissuaded them and contacted Oleg Vasiliev to take them on as students.[12] The pair began working with him in December 2006.[16]
During the 2006-2007 season, Trankov and Mukhortova had a disappointing Grand Prix season, finishing 5th at Skate America and 7th at Cup of Russia. However, they then won the Russian national title, finishing nearly 14 points ahead of silver medalists Julia Obertas and Sergei Slavnov. They were forced to miss the European Championships after Mukhortova suffered an injury in practice. They returned in time for the World Championships but made little improvement on their previous season's result, moving up only one place to 11th.
The following season, Mukhortova and Trankov won their first Grand Prix medal, bronze at 2007 Trophée Eric Bompard and placed fourth at Cup of Russia. They were unable to defend their national title, losing by 10 points to Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov to take the silver. They finished ahead of them by two points at the 2008 Europeans to win the silver medal. Mukhortova and Trankov then finished 7th at Worlds. They had to take a short break in the middle of their long program at Worlds because Trankov was suffering from swelling in his arm, but returned to complete their skate after some alterations to his costume.[8] Vasiliev said Trankov had a problem with his arm which took a couple months to ascertain and treat.[17] When the season ended, Vasiliev focused on improving Trankov's basic skating, noting Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy's deep edges and flow.[17] His coaches in Perm had not emphasized these skills but Vasiliev was pleased by Trankov's progress toward making up the deficit.[17] They also worked on the triple twist to improve the split and add more difficulty.[17]
During the preceding season, Trankov had been skating with a neck injury, which first appeared during the Grand Prix events.[17] He said, "I luxated the first cervical vertebrae, and this is the one that holds the head. The doctor told me that you can't fix it with massage but only with osteopathy which needs a lot of time. We're doing that now and I feel that my body is adjusting. My body already orientated itself to the left. I adjusted to the left, for the jumps and for everything else, and that wasn't good. It's better now and I didn't have any problems anymore with my arm during the last one and a half months. Obviously I was doing less lifts and twists, but I started doing more now and so far it's fine."[17] For a time, however, the injury had put his future in doubt and led Mukhortova to try out with a French skater.[18][19]
In the 2008-09 season, Trankov and Mukhortova enjoyed considerable success with their short program, but tended to struggle in the long. They won the bronze medal at 2008 Skate America and silver at 2008 Trophée Eric Bompard, qualifying them for their first senior Grand Prix Final where they fnished 6th. They won the silver medal at the 2009 Russian Nationals again behind Kavaguti and Smirnov and then the bronze medal at the 2009 Europeans. They moved up to 5th place at the 2009 Worlds.
For the 2009-10 season, the pair were assigned to the Trophee Eric Bompard, where they set a new overall personal best score and won the gold medal ahead of two-time World champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy.[20] Their second Grand Prix event was Skate Canada, where they placed second. They won another bronze medal at the 2010 European Championships but finished seventh at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. At the 2010 World Championships held in Turin, Italy, in March 2010 they finished in 4th place. Shortly thereafter, they decided to split and continue their careers with new partners.[21] Trankov cited tensions in the working relationship with Vasiliev and said he even considered retiring from competitive skating.[18][19] He and Mukhortova continued skating together in shows until the end of April due to contractual obligations.[22]
Partnership with Volosozhar
Teaming up
In March 2010, rumors emerged that Trankov might team up with the Ukrainian Tatiana Volosozhar,[23] with Trankov later admitting he had wanted to skate with her since 2006.[24]
Trankov moved from Saint Petersburg to train in Moscow,[25] beginning training with Volosozhar the week of May 17.[22] They are coached by Nina Mozer.[26][15] Stanislav Morozov is their assistant coach, helping them with their elements.[27] Igor Tchinaev was their short program choreographer, with Nikolai Morozov choreographing the long program.[24][25] Nikolai Morozov also worked with them on their stroking to reduce energy loss.[7] The pair had some differences in technique; Volosozhar had to change pace on the entry to the twist as well as adapt to a different hold during throw jumps, while Trankov had to adjust his jumps to match his new partner.[28]
2010–2011 season
Volosozhar and Trankov initially performed in domestic Russian cup events and other tests.[26] In late December 2010, they competed at the 2011 Russian nationals, where they won the title,[29][30] defeating Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov, the reigning national champions and World bronze medalists.
As per ISU regulations, the new pair was obliged to sit out one year from Volosozhar's last event representing Ukraine, the 2010 Winter Olympics.[25][31] As a result, they missed much of the 2010–2011 season, including the Grand Prix series and the European Championships. She became eligible for international competition on February 16, 2011, in time for the Mont Blanc Trophy, where the pair competed in order to meet the ISU minimum technical score requirements for the 2011 World Championships.[11] They did so easily and won the event by a sizable margin.[32] The pair decided to fly in early for the World Championships and landed in Tokyo three hours before the earthquake.[33] The event was rescheduled and moved to Moscow.
At the 2011 Worlds, Volosozhar and Trankov finished third in the short program.[34] They were second in the free skate and moved ahead of 2010 World champions Qing Pang and Jian Tong to win the silver medal, behind the two-time world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy.[35] It was the first Worlds medal for both skaters, each of whom had finished as high as 4th with their previous partners. They were one of few modern teams to make the podium in their first season together and in their first appearance at a major international event; media coverage of the event noted their fast development and their potential for the future.[36][37] Volosozhar said, "We didn't even think about the silver medal (before Worlds). We thought, maybe we can get the bronze. The result was completely unexpected for us. The most impressive moment of the championships was how enthusiastic the spectators were even before our short program, and I'll never forget how they gave us a standing ovation after the free program."[25]
2011–2012 season
During the off-season, Volosozhar and Trankov performed in shows and prepared for the new season in Novogorsk, as well as a few weeks in New Jersey.[25][38] They began the 2011–2012 season with wins at their two September competitions, the 2011 Nebelhorn Trophy and the 2011 Ondrej Nepela Memorial. On the Grand Prix series, they won Skate Canada with a combined score of 201.38. They will next compete at the 2011 Trophée Eric Bompard.
