Timeline

1964

Marina Evgenievna Cherkasova (Марина Евгеньевна Черкасова; born 17 November 1964) is a Russian retired pair skater.

1977

Cherkasova was 12 when the pair captured the bronze at their first European Championship in 1977.

Their height difference facilitated innovation in twist and lift elements; they became the first pair to perform triple jump (toeloop) at "Moscow news" trophy 9 december 1977 and the split quadruple twist in 1977.

Later, the judging standards were changed to value physical harmony between the partners, which handicapped Cherkasova and her partner.

1979

With Sergei Shakhrai, she won the 1979 European title at the age of 14.

They won the European title in 1979.

1980

At 15, she was the 1980 Olympic silver medalist and 1980 World champion.

Cherkasova and Shakhrai trained in Moscow with Stanislav Zhuk.

Their main rivals included fellow Soviets Irina Rodnina / Alexander Zaitsev, whom they never defeated, Irina Vorobieva / Igor Lisovsky, Marina Pestova / Stanislav Leonovich, and Veronika Pershina / Marat Akbarov.

Cherkasova and Shakhrai were 12 and 18 respectively when they were paired together.

Initially, there was a 35 cm height difference between the pair, with Cherkasova only 138 cm tall.

By 1980 Cherkasova had grown 20 cm. The change affected their technical elements, however, the pair managed to win silver at 1980 Europeans, silver at the 1980 Olympics, and gold at Worlds.

At the age of 15 years, 93 days, Cherkasova was one of the youngest figure skating Olympic medalists.

Shakhrai's problems lifting his now 45 kg partner eventually resulted in them splitting up.

She briefly paired with Rashid Kadyrkaev, a World junior medalist in 1980 and 1981, but he left to skate with Elena Kvitchenko at the invitation of Igor Moskvin in Leningrad.

1981

By 1981, Cherkasova had grown so tall that Shakhrai could no longer effectively lift her.

This caused them to miss the medal podium at the World Championship in Hartford, Connecticut, finishing in fourth place.

1982

Cherkasova and Shakhrai continued to train into the 1982 season, however eventually broke up.

In 1982, Cherkasova joined the Moscow Ice Ballet where she met her husband.

1986

In 1986, they had a son, Vitaly, and a few years later, a daughter named Daria.

Cherkasova is now a children's coach in Moscow.
