About Fedor Andreev's Life

Fedor Andreev was born in Moscow, which was then part of the Soviet Union. When he was seven years old, his family moved to Canada.

His mother, Marina Zueva, is a well-known ice dance coach. His stepfather, Alexei Tchetverukhin, also coached him.

Besides skating, Fedor enjoys other activities. He likes car racing, especially a style called drifting. He has also worked as a model for fashion shows and commercials.

In July 2017, he got engaged to American ice dancer Meryl Davis. They were married in France in June 2019.

When Fedor first started skating, he trained at the Minto Skating Club in Ottawa, Canada. He became the Canadian junior national champion in 1999. The next year, he won several medals in junior international competitions.

In 2000, he moved to Michigan with his mother. He then started competing as a senior skater. His best results included a bronze medal at the Nebelhorn Trophy in 2002. He also earned a bronze medal at the 2003 Canadian Championships.

Around 2003, Fedor thought about trying pair skating. However, this partnership did not fully happen. He faced several injuries, especially to his back, which made him stop competing in 2005. He did not skate in the 2005-2006 or 2006-2007 seasons.

Fedor returned to skating in the 2007-2008 season. He placed 8th at the 2008 Canadian Championships. In the 2008-2009 season, he finished 9th at the Canadian Championships.

He later tried to represent Azerbaijan in competitions. However, there were problems with his paperwork. This meant he could not compete at the 2009 World Championships or the 2010 Olympics.
