| Denkova/Staviski teamed up in 1996, when Albena's partner Hristo Nikolov retired. They are the first Bulgarian |
| skaters to become World Champions (2006) and were the first to medal in an ISU World Championship (bronze |
| medal at 2003 Worlds). Denkova was a gymnast before switching to skating. Denkova has been elected president |
| of the Bulgarian Skating Federation in fall 2006. Staviski is orginally from Russia. The couple switched coaches |
| following the 2004/2005 season. Coaches Linitchuk and Karpanosov are the 1980 Olympic Ice Dancing |
| Champions. Denkova's younger sister Ina Demirova is also an ice dancer and competes internationally at the |
| junior level. |
