Peter Tchernyshev

What draws me to Peter Tchernyshev is the rare double life: a Saint Petersburg ballet dancer who became one of America's finest ice dancers, winning five national titles with Naomi Lang and reaching the 2002 Olympics. That ballet foundation surely gave his skating a line and musicality most rivals could only envy. But I admire him most for what came after the medals. Choreographer, coach, the person who makes others shine. Athletes who pivot from chasing their own glory to building someone else's tend to be the quiet architects of a sport, and at 188 cm with two disciplines in his hands, his toolkit must be uncommonly deep.
