1992 Olympic Silver Medalist Elena Bechke married partner Denis Petrov.
Bechke and Petrov not only continued to compete together for several years, but also to tour together with "Stars on Ice," coach together in Virginia, and still vacation together! Petrov says, "Sometimes we skate not so good, and people say 'They skate bad because they're divorced.' It's not really true." Like Vasiliev, he thinks his relationship with Elena improved after their divorce. However, the honeymoon period of their divorce proved as brief as their marriage. Petrov is now married to 1995 World Champion Lu Chen, living and coaching in her home-country of China. |
