Alexei Ulanov (Russian: Алексе́й Никола́евич Ула́нов) (born November 4, 1947 in Moscow[1]) was a Soviet pairs figure skater and Olympic champion. He won the 1972 Olympics with partner Irina Rodnina. They were coached by Stanislav Zhuk and trained at the Armed Forces sports society in Moscow.[2]
Ulanov began figure skating in 1954 and became a member of the USSR National Team in 1964.[1] Rodnina and Ulanov competed together from 1968 to 1972, winning several World and European championships. The culmination of their career was their 1972 Olympics win. By this point Ulanov had fallen in love with fellow skater Lyudmila Smirnova. Rodnina and Ulanov separated, and Ulanov began skating with Smirnova.
Smirnova and Ulanov skated together for two years (1973-1974), enjoying modest success at Worlds and Europeans.
Ulanov was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour in 1972.[2]
