Personal life

Annabelle Morozov was born on 2 May 2001 in the United States to former competitive ice dancers Nikolai Morozov of Russia and Caroline Douarin of France.[1] She lived in the U.S. and France throughout her childhood and holds American, French, and Russian citizenship.[2] Morozov is fluent in English and Russian.

Career

Early career

Morozov first began skating in 2006 and competed in ladies' singles for both the United States and France. She is the 2014 U.S. juvenile national silver medalist. During the 2015–16 season, Morozov competed at both domestic American and French competitions, while representing France internationally at the 2016 Mentor Toruń Cup.[3]

Morozov switched to competing for Russia in ice dance in 2016.[2] She and her father and coach, Nikolai, made the decision while considering the depth of the Russian ladies field.[4] While searching for a partner, Morozov worked with various ice dance coaches apart from her father, including Marina Zoueva, Igor Shpilband, and Alexander Zhulin.[5]

2017–2018 season

Morozov tried out with Andrei Bagin during her time at Alexander Zhulin's rink in August 2017, due to coincidental timing and without any prior planning.[5] After receiving the approval of her coach, Morozov and Bagin began training under her father's tutelage. Morozov/Bagin debuted at the Russian national test skates in September just one month after teaming up.[2] The team qualified for the 2018 Russian Championships in their first season together, and placed eighth.[4] Their coach expressed satisfaction with their accomplishments in their debut season.[4]

2018–2019 season

Morozov/Bagin made their international and Grand Prix debut after being selected as the host pick for the 2018 Rostelecom Cup, where they finished ninth. They later competed on the 2018–19 ISU Challenger Series, finishing seventh at 2018 CS Tallinn Trophy and eighth at 2018 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb. Morozov/Bagin again finished eighth at the 2019 Russian Championships to end their season.

2019–2020 season

Morozov/Bagin spent time working with Pasquale Camerlengo and Igor Shpilband in Detroit, Michigan and Ivan Volobuiev in Moscow throughout the season, while retaining Morozov's father as their main coach.[6] They opened their season at 2019 CS Ice Star, where they finished third in the rhythm dance and fourth in the free dance, to finish fourth overall. At their next event, 2019 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, Morozov/Bagin finished second in both segments to win their first international medal, silver, behind Italy's Charlène Guignard / Marco Fabbri and ahead of Caroline Green / Michael Parsons of the United States. The team set personal bests in all three segments and surpassed their previous best total score by over 13 points.

Morozov/Bagin finished fourth at the 2020 Russian Championships, their highest placement at the event. As a result, they were selected as first alternates for the 2020 World Championships.
