[edit] Career
Zlobina and Sitnikov teamed up in June 2001.[3] They originally represented Russia. In their early career, they were coached by Igor Gavrin and then Olga Riabinina.[4] In 2005, they moved with Riabinina from Kirov to Rostov-on-Don.[5][6] In 2006, Zlobina and Sitnikov won the bronze medal in Hungary and gold in the Czech Republic on the Junior Grand Prix circuit. They represented Russia for the last time at the 2008 Nebelhorn Trophy, where they finished 5th. In May 2009, they moved with Riabinina to Moscow and joined Elena Kustarova and Svetlana Alexeeva's group. In the 2009–10 season, Zlobina and Sitnikov made no international appearances but competed at the Russian Championships, where they finished 5th.
Zlobina and Sitnikov decided to represent Azerbaijan and made their first appearance for the country at the 2011 Estonian Championships, competing as guests.[3] In mid-2011, they switched to another Moscow-based coaching team, Alexander Zhulin and Oleg Volkov, with Zhulin also serving as their choreographer.[3][7] In the 2011–2012 season, Zlobina and Sitnikov won the bronze medal at the 2011 Ondrej Nepela Memorial and gold at the Istanbul Cup. Their first major international event was the 2012 European Championships, where they finished 10th.
