| Petrova/Tikhonov are the 1999 European Champions. Petrova was the former partner of 2002 Olympic Champion |
| Anton Sikharulidze and won with him Junior Worlds in 1994 and 1995. When he left her to skate with Berezhnaya |
| in 1996, she continued her career with Pulin. Petrova teamed up with Tikhonov in the summer of 1998. Tikhonov |
| was World Junior Bronze medalist (1989 with Irina Saifutdinova) and has also competed for Japan. After the 1994 |
| season he stopped his competitive career to skate in shows. He came back to competitive skating because he |
| missed it. They name Olympic Champions Gordeeva/Grinkov and Mishkutionok/Dmitriev as their idols in skating. |
| The couple missed the 2007 National Championships due to illness (Petrova). |
