| Berezhnaya was seriously injured in 1996, when her partner Oleg Sliakhov hit her on the head with his blade while |
| they practised a side by side spin. After her recovery, Berezhnaya teamed up with Sikharulidze. Together with |
| coaches Tamara Moskvina and Igor Moskvin and fellow skaters Oksana Kazakova/Artur Dmitriev, the team moved |
| to Hackensack in the USA in summer 1999. Sikharulidze sustained an injury shortly before Skate Canada when |
| his partner accidently cut his arm with her blade. The cut was 12 cm long and needed stitches. Berezhnaya has |
| opened a Cafe named "Axel" in her hometown. She decorated the room herself as she likes painting and drawing. |
