Roman Skorniakov (Russian: Роман Скорняков; born 17 February 1976) is a Russian-born figure skater who mainly represented Uzbekistan. He initially competed for Russia but switched to representing Uzbekistan in 1996.

Career

[edit]

Skorniakov is the 1997–2003 Uzbekistani national champion. He represented Uzbekistan at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics, both times finishing in 19th place. His highest placement at an ISU Championship came at the 2000 and 2002 Four Continents Championships where he placed 7th.

Skorniakov married Tatiana Malinina in January 2000.[1] Their son, Ilia Malinin (born in 2004), is a competitive figure skater for the United States.[2] They also have a daughter, born in 2014.

In the later years of their careers, Skorniakov and Malinina coached each other following the death of their former coach Igor Ksenofontov.[3][4]

Skorniakov now works as a skating coach in Reston, Virginia.
