Daniil Sergeevich Barantsev (born March 10, 1982 in Ekaterinburg) is a Russian-American ice dancer. With partner and wife Jennifer Wester, he is the 2007 Nebelhorn Trophy champion.
[edit] Biography
Barantsev was born and raised in the Soviet Union and, later, Russia. With former partner Natalia Romaniuta, he won the World Junior Championships in 2000 and 2001. They were considered a promising couple to help continue the Russian dominance in ice dancing. Barantsev ended the partnership in 2002 and moved to Connecticut, USA, to train under Nikolai Morozov. He teamed up with Jennifer Wester in 2003. They were married on May 6th, 2006.
Although Barantsev and Wester had done well on the national level, they were unable to compete internationally until the 2007/2008 season because the Russian federation refused to give Barantsev a release. He finally obtained it in 2007 and began representing the United States internationally later that year.
