Dmitrii Evgenievich Chigirev (born 1 April 2001) is a Russian pair skater who currently competes for Uzbekistan.[1] With his current skating partner, Ekaterina Geynish, he is the 2024 Skate Canada International silver medalist and 2024 John Nicks International Pairs Competition bronze medalist.[2]

Personal life

[edit]

Chigirev was born on April 1, 2001 in Saransk, Russia.[3] He briefly dated former two-time World Champion women's singles skater, Evgenia Medvedeva, from 2023 to 2024.[4][5][6][7]

In addition to figure skating, he also enjoys video games, bikes, reading, and music.[3]

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Chigirev began figure skating in 2008.[3] He originally trained at the SSh Figure Skating Academy in Saransk as a singles skater until 2016 when he decided to switch to pairs. During his first two years as a pair skater, he was partnered with Nadezhda Labazina and Lina Dreyer.[8][9] Following this, Chigirev moved to Moscow to train under Artur Dmitriev at the UOR 4 Moscow Gomelski Academy and then teamed up with Ekaterina Belova.[10] The pair competed for three seasons together, finishing ninth at the 2019 Russian Junior Championships, tenth at the 2020 Russian Junior Championships, and twelfth at the 2020 Russian Championships. The pair split following the 2020–21 figure skating season and Chigirev made the decision to transfer to the Moscow Skating School "Vorobyovy Gory" to train under Nina Mozer and Vladislav Zhovnirski.[11][10]

In April 2022, Mozer and Zhovnirski paired Chigirev up with Anastasia Kostyuk.[10] Together, the pair won silver on the junior level at the 2022 Budapest Trophy. However, their partnership soon dissolved thereafter.[12]

Partnership with Geynish

[edit]

2022–23 season

[edit]

Following the end of the 2021–22 figure skating season, Chigirev teamed up with Ekaterina Geynish.[6] Geynish and Chigirev only competed at the 2022 Senior Russian Cup Grand Prix stages 2 and 5, placing fifth at both events.[13]

In May 2023, it was announced that the pair had planned to begin competing for Uzbekistan and had submitted documents to the Figure Skating Federation of Russia to request a release, which was ultimately successful.[14][6]

2024–25: Debut for Uzbekistan

[edit]

Making their international debut for Uzbekistan in early September, Geynish and Chigirev won the bronze medal at the 2024 John Nicks International Pairs Competition. Selected to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix circuit, the pair competed at 2024 Skate Canada International, placing fourth in the short program, but winning the free skate and winning the silver medal.[15] With this result, Geynish and Chigirev became the first pair team representing Uzbekistan to win a senior Grand Prix medal.[16] One week later, the team competed at the 2024 Grand Prix de France, where they placed fifth in the short program and seventh in the free skate, dropping to sixth place overall.[17]
