Ein Projekt von Tarasova und Co. Tatiana Tarasova is the daughter of Anatoly Tarasov, a famed ice hockey coach, who introduced her to figure skating at the age of 5. She competed in pair skating with Aleksandr Tikhomirov and later Georgi Proskurin. With Proskurin, her greatest successes were placing 7th at the 1965 World Figure Skating Championships, and 4th at the 1966 European Figure Skating Championships.
At 18 years of age, Tarasova suffered a career-ending injury. One year later, at her father's insistence, she started coaching. Her most notable students have been Alexei Yagudin, Ilia Kulik, Natalia Bestemianova & Andrey Bukin, Oksana Grishuk & Evgeny Platov, Ekaterina Gordeeva & Sergei Grinkov, Marina Klimova & Sergey Ponomarenko and Irina Rodnina & Alexander Zaitsev.
For more than 25 years, Tarasova has been married to Vladimir Krainev, a world-class pianist who resides in Hanover, Germany.
In the mid-1990s, she launched a hugely successful ice ballet show called "Russian All-Stars." Tarasova lived for more than a decade in Simsbury, Connecticut, where she coached at the International Skating Center of Connecticut, before she announced her retirement from full-time coaching and moved back to Russia in 2006. Having returned to coaching in 2008 she coached Japanese 2008 World Champion and 2010 Olympic Silver Medalist Mao Asada.
Tarasova was awarded Order of Friendship of Peoples (1984).[4] In March 2008, she was inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
