Anna Sergeyevna OVCHAROVA (Russian: Анна Серге́евна ОВЧАРОВА) is a Ladies Singles skater who represented Switzerland. She was born on 16[SUP]th[/SUP] March 1996 in Moscow, Russia.

Anna had a successful Junior career representing Russia, finishing 5[SUP]th[/SUP] in both the Junior GP Final and Junior Worlds in 2010. But then she had problems with her leg which forced her to sit out the 2010/11 season.

She made her comeback in the 2011/12 season. Shortly afterwards, her brother got a place at a private school in Switzerland. After a period of attempting to split their lives between the 2 countries, the family eventually all moved to Switzerland.

Anna started working with Peter Grueter in Geneva, and started to skate for Switzerland.

After finishing second in the Swiss Championships in her first attempt in the 2012/13 season, she won it the following year. This earned Anna her first appearance at Senior Worlds in 2014, where she quickly became a fan favourite!

In the 2014/15 season, Anna finally made her Senior Grand Prix debut, but did not do as well as her fans hoped. She also lost her title of Swiss Champion to an American-born girl, who was then selected to represent Switzerland at Europeans and Worlds.

Towards the end of the season, Anna revealed that she was retiring from skating and moving back to Russia. (Her family had already moved back a few months earlier).

The Personal Best and Season Best scores that the ISU uses for a skater only take into consideration certain competitions. For example, they do not take into consideration domestic competitions, such as Sectional, Regional or National Championships.

The table below takes into consideration all the events that the skater has taken part in. These scores are referred to as “Absolute Personal Best” and “Absolute Season’s Best” so as to distinguish them from the scores recorded by the ISU.

Awww!!! Thank you daphenaxa!!!

But, Doris also deserves a lot of the thanks. After all, it was her Misha thread that gave me the inspiration to finally do this.

A beautiful thread for a lovely skater! Thank you!

She is, isn't she! ;) :biggrin:

It's a real shame the way her career ended prematurely, due to events beyond her control. (Politicians have a lot to answer for!)

But, I wish Anna all the best with whatever the future holds for her.

Guess who's back!!!

Well, me for starters! I arrived back from my holidays about 2 hours ago.

But, more importantly, Anna is back!!! :cheer: :rock: :party:

Anna sent me a message yesterday to ask if I could let you all know that she is entering a new phase of her skating career. She is now back home in Moscow and has started working as a choreographer for children. As she put it, "it's so much fun and I put all my love towards skating in them"

It is so good to see Anna continuing her involvement in skating. It would have been such a loss if she had left the sport completely.

I wish Anna all the best for this new direction, and hope it will not be long before we see some of her routines apprearing at Russian Nationals... and on the international stage. ;) :biggrin:

I loved Anna's radiant joy in her performances. Hopefully we'll see that transferred to other skaters as she enters the world of choreography.
