Dmitrii Chigirev

Dmitrii Evgenievich Chigirev (born 1 April 2001) is a Russian pair skater. Competing for Uzbekistan with his former skating partner, Ekaterina Geynish, he is the 2025 Asian Winter Games champion, the 2024 Skate Canada International silver medalist, and the 2024 John Nicks International Pairs Competition bronze medalist.

They are the first Uzbek pair team to win an ISU Grand Prix medal.

Personal life Chigirev was born on April 1, 2001, in Saransk, Russia. He briefly dated former two-time World Champion women's singles skater, Evgenia Medvedeva, from 2023 to 2024.

In addition to figure skating, he also enjoys video games, bikes, reading, and music.

Career Early career Chigirev began figure skating in 2008. He originally trained at the SSh Figure Skating Academy in Saransk as a singles skater until 2016 when he decided to switch to pairs. During his first two years as a pair skater, he was partnered with Nadezhda Labazina and Lina Dreyer. Following this, Chigirev moved to Moscow to train under Artur Dmitriev at the UOR 4 Moscow Gomelski Academy and then teamed up with Ekaterina Belova. With this result, Geynish and Chigirev became the first pair team representing Uzbekistan to win a senior Grand Prix medal. One week later, the team competed at the 2024 Grand Prix de France, where they placed fifth in the short program and seventh in the free skate, dropping to sixth place overall.

In an interview following the event, Geynish shared, "We are quite happy with today’s performance. The crowd was very supportive and warm, which really helped us. We felt like they truly enjoyed the moment when the music changed." Chigirev added, "We are very happy to have qualified an Olympic spot, this is every athlete’s dream. This was our goal at the beginning of the season, and while we are thrilled, we are not surprised. Looking ahead to next season, our focus will be on improving our pair elements. We want them to be solid, secure, and as flawless as possible."
