Life and career
Elena Ivanova was born on 8 November 1979 in Nevinnomyssk.[1] When she was six years old, figure skating coach Nina Ruchkina visited her kindergarten in search of talented youth and noticed her.[2] Ivanova's parents approved of the activity and she began skating under Ruchkina. At the age of 10, she became Master of Sports of the USSR and gained the nickname "Iron Felix" because of her calmness on the ice.[2] At the age of 15, she moved from Nevinnomyssk to Samara and graduated from Samara's GUOR (figure skating faculty).[3]
Ivanova retired from skating due to injury and switched to coaching. Since 2000 she is working in Vitebsk, Belarus.
