Peter Tchernysev's Interview to Russian Paper
I Said No To Grishuk Because of My Wife
St. Petersburg’s skater Peter Chernyshev, who represented the US, can become a World Champion with Shae-Lynn Bourne, but now, he is choreographing for Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze
US National champion in ice dance, Peter Chernyshev stayed in his hometown of St. Petersburg for several weeks.
As Smena already reported, next season, Chernyshev will perform with former World champion Shae-Lynn Bourne. So, Russia, represented by Tatiana Navka and Roman Kostomarov, may unexpectedly loose the title, and St. Petersburg, represented by Peter, can get that title. Peter himself prefers to
be called Petya
Following his grandfather
I was named after my grandfather, Petr Sergeevich Chernyshev, who won USSR figure skating championships four times. So, I’m keeping up with the family tradition. I started in singles and even learned triple jumps that were still rare at the late 80s. I was Leningrad’s champion and once even made top ten at USSR cup. True, the triples worked only every other time, and I didn’t learn the axel. At 18, I switched to ice dance.
Q: What made you move to America?
A: Meeting Oksana Grishuk was the point that made me realize that I can get some success in ice dance.
Q: Did you really had a chance of possibly skating with future two-times Olympic champion?
A: Imagine that. Yes. Oksana made the offer. Then, she had a fight with Evgeni Platov. Zhenya stayed in Natalia Dubova’s group and started to skate with Tania Navka. Oksana, who was fourth at Worlds that season was ready to team up with such a young and inexperienced dancer as myself. We skated for month and a half with her at Natalia Linichuk’s. Thanks to Oksana, I realized an important truth: dance is a hard labor. I always thought of myself as a strong, energetic, physically well-prepared skater, but I was lost next to Oksana’s energy level. She worked like she was wound up.
Q: Then, why didn’t your team happen?
A: At the time when we tried to skate together, I was in the middle of romancing my future wife Natalia Annenko. She was pretty famous skater in USSR , performing in the ice dance with Genrikh Sretenski. We trained in Moscow in the private club, and my wife and her partner became hostages, sort of. Because I went to Linichuk’s group, they weren’t allowed to go to America to World Pros. Then we decided as a family, we have to go to America where Natasha could have a career as a professional.
Partner of the Star.
Q: Did you have any regrets about sacrificing your career for you wife, and everything ending up in the divorce?
A: We lived with Natasha for seven wonderful years. So our union broke up, but I have no regrets.
Q: When did the fate lead you to Naomi Lang?
A: She became my second partner in America. By the time of our teaming up, I had lived in the US for three years and was specifically looking for American partner, even though I had some options with Canadian and Swiss partners.
Q: Is that true that Naomi is a daughter of an Indian chief?
A: She is not chief’s daughter, but her father is true-blooded Indian from Caruke tribe. Her Indian name is Mahita Han - means Morning Star. Naomi never forgot her roots and kept in touch with her tribe. Even I had a chance to participate, together with my partner, in holiday events, organized by Indians. True, in real life they are different from the ones described by Phenimore Cooper.
Q: For all the years skating together, did Naomi learned our “great and powerful” language?
A: Now, she practically learned it. She has a Russian boyfriend, ice acrobat Vladimir Besedin who is well known by the St. Petersburg’s audiences. They recently had a daughter, Lillie-Ashley Vladimirovna. Lately, Naomi simply impressed me with her knowledge of Russian.
