Career

Borzenkova began skating at the age of five and switched from singles to pairs at 16, teaming up with Andrei Chuvilaev.[2] Early in their partnership, they were coached by Ludmila Koblova in Moscow.[3] They finished seventh at the 2002 European Championships and 15th at the 2002 World Championships. They formed an unusual pair due to their height,[2] she being 168 cm tall and he 200 cm.[4] In April 2003, they moved to Saint Petersburg and began working with Oksana Kazakova and Tamara Moskvina.[4][2] The pair retired from competition in 2006.

Borzenkova appeared on Dancing on Ice in 2008, partnered with Tim Vincent. She coaches at the "Happy Ice" Figure Skating School in Moscow.[5]
