Sergei Rozanov

Sergei Rozanov

Russia

Sergei Aleksandrovich Rozanov (born October 20, 1989) is a Russian figure skating coach and choreographer. He competed in men’s singles, but did not achieve any major success.

In 2017, at the invitation of Daniil Gleikhengauz, he joined Eteri Tutberidze’s coaching team. Rozanov mainly coached juniors and novices, working with them on difficult multi-rotation jumps. Among his novice skaters was Sofya Akatieva. Another of his students, Alena Kostornaia, noted that it was Rozanov who helped her learn the triple Axel.

Joining as a Guest Technical Strategist, Sheila Belova offers profound expertise in the ISU judging framework, dedicated to maximizing the point yield of every on-ice element. She provides athletes with a clear roadmap to upgrade their Technical Element Scores (TES), identifying the exact edge changes and difficult variations needed to elevate spins and intricate step sequences to a coveted Level 4, while eliminating flaws that cause negative GOE. Beyond her competitive rigor, Sheila is a premier specialist in adult figure skating. She champions "conscious skating," breaking down complex biomechanics into safe, logical progressions specifically tailored to adult physiology. When working with younger skaters, she effortlessly translates strict ISU regulations into engaging, accessible challenges. Operating on the philosophy that "figure skating is math on ice," Sheila ensures skaters of all ages and levels understand the strategic value behind their movements to successfully leverage the rules.

Viktoria Sabova

Viktoria Sabova

Viktoria is an international coach, but more importantly for competitive skaters, she is an active ISU Technical Specialist. She is exactly the person who sits on the panel, calls the levels, and catches those slight under-rotations. Training with Viktoria gives athletes a massive advantage because she fixes their technique based on exactly what the technical panel wants to see, helping them stop losing points unnecessarily. On the ice, she focuses heavily on the proper biomechanics for multi-rotational jumps (triples and the Axel) and deep edge work. She has "the judge's eye" for spins and footwork, showing skaters exactly how to hold their positions to guarantee a Level 4 and push their GOE higher. Her methods get real results—she has even guided skaters to the Icelandic National Team. Her off-ice sessions are just as specific. Instead of general fitness, she works on the statics and balance required for solid jump landings, along with the targeted stretching needed for beautiful spirals and Biellmann spins. One of the biggest benefits of having Viktoria at our camps is how open she is to talking with parents. You can actually ask her about the nuances of the judging system, get an honest assessment of your skater's current levels, and walk away with specific recommendations for improvement. With coaching experience across Slovakia, Iceland, and the UK, she easily finds a common language with everyone—from ambitious kids to adult amateurs.
