Russian figure skater and Olympic medalist Alexander Enbert recently took part in his first speed skating show, a milestone noted by his manager Irina Varavkina on socialbites.ca. The event brought together a mix of sports icons and media personalities, highlighting Enbert’s versatility beyond his traditional discipline.
Joining Enbert were Olympic champion in athletics Yuri Borzakovsky, former Russian national team footballer Alexei Smertin, three-time Olympic figure skating winner Irina Rodnina, and Match TV presenter Emma Gadzhieva. The gathering showcased a blend of elite sport and entertainment, underscoring how athletes from different arenas often cross paths in public appearances and charity or exhibition events.
Enbert is also set to participate in the Hockey Media League as a member of the HC 10 team. The lineup features a diverse group, including comedians and artists such as Denis Dorokhov, Aidar Garayev, Maxim Goncharov, and Azamat Musagaliev, illustrating how hockey-related media projects frequently attract talents from outside the sport itself and create engaging competitive showcases for fans.
In competitive terms, Enbert skated in pairs with Natalia Zabiyako. The duo earned a silver medal in team events at the PyeongChang Games and earned bronze at the 2019 World Championships. In the 2018 Olympic Games, their performance in the individual pairs event placed seventh, reflecting a strong career at the highest levels of international competition.
The partners announced the end of their amateur sports careers at the end of February 2020. That same year, Enbert participated in the Ice Age project with actress Olga Kuzmina, and the pair finished in first place, signaling a successful transition toward entertainment-driven athletic collaborations alongside continuing involvement in ice sports and public appearances.
A separate note mentions that former Olympic champion Anna Shcherbakova appeared in a video during an operation, a detail that circulated in media coverage related to Enbert and his circle, though the exact context remains unclarified in public summaries.
