[edit] Personal life
Zavozin was born in Moscow, Russian SSR, Soviet Union. He is the son of ice dancers Elena Garanina and Igor Zavozin who competed internationally for the Soviet Union. He competed in ballroom dancing in Russia from the age of 7 to 11.[3]
Zavozin became a U.S. citizen on December 30, 2005.[4][5] He became a Hungarian citizen on 25 January 2010,[citation needed] just before the 2010 Winter Olympics.[6]
[edit] Career
Zavozin first stepped onto the ice at the age of four but did not practice regularly due to extensive traveling. He stopped skating when he was seven and returned to it at 13.[7]
Early in his career, Zavozin competed with partner Stephanie Ellis.[3] He began skating with Morgan Matthews in 2001. They were coached by his mother, Elena Garanina, and Valeriy Spiridonov in Sunrise, Florida.[3] The duo won gold medals on the junior level at the 2003 and 2004 U.S. Championships and went on to capture the 2005 World Junior title. After placing fifth at the 2007 U.S. Championships, Matthews and Zavozin announced the end of their partnership on February 26, 2007.[8]
Zavozin teamed up with Hungarian Nora Hoffman in September 2007 to compete for Hungary.[9] They had competed against each other at 2004 Junior Worlds.[10]
During the 2008–09 season, Hoffmann and Zavozin did not compete on the Grand Prix circuit but won the 2009 Hungarian national title and were given a berth to the 2009 European Championships. Despite Zavozin having a fever, they skated in the original dance at Europeans, but his condition worsened and they had to withdraw before the free dance.[10] They missed the 2009 World Championships due to a serious head injury to Hoffmann while training in the U.S. on March 4, 2009.[11]
During the 2009–10 season, Hoffmann and Zavozin missed the Grand Prix series. They competed at the 2010 European Championships where they placed 10th. They qualified for the 2010 Olympics where they finished 13th. At the 2010 World Championships, they finished in 10th.
In the 2010–11 season, Hoffmann and Zavozin made their first appearance together on the Grand Prix series. Their first event was 2010 Cup of China where they placed fourth. At 2010 Cup of Russia, they won silver, their first medal on the senior Grand Prix series. They finished third in both the short and free dance and set personal best scores in both. They competed at the 2011 European Championships where they finished 8th after receiving some low levels from the technical panel and a small stumble.[12] On March 30, 2011, Hoffmann was hospitalized.[13][14] Hoffmann and Zavozin had to withdraw from the 2011 World Championships. They did not compete in the 2011–2012 season but said in March 2012 that they were considering returning to competition.[15]
