Anastasia Mishina, 20, began skating when she was 4 years old, and her love of the sport led her to compete as a junior with partner Vladislav Mirzoev, according to Golden Skate. She and Mirzoev earned a silver medal in the 2016 World Junior Championships, but disagreements between the two led them to end their skating partnership. Their mutual coach suggested Aleksandr Galliamov as a new partner, and Mishina and Galliamov teamed up in 2017, winning the title at their first international event. He told FS Gossips, “We trained on the same ice. I was 14 when I switched to pair skating, and Nastya was 12. Before her, I had two partners, and for another year I skated alone, learning pair elements.”
While no romance has ever been noted between the two, it’s obvious they have a strong friendship. Mishina told FS Gossips they make all decisions together, and Galliamov said, “Apparently, we are made for each other.” In a 2022 interview with FS Gossips, he explained they have progressed in figure skating because they share “a fighting character … If something doesn’t work out, we don’t give up.”
