Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Kurakin began learning to skate in 1992.[1] Early in his career, he competed with Alexandra Baurina for Estonia.[2]

In 2005, Kurakin began skating with Ina Demireva, with whom he represented Bulgaria. Initially coached by Oksana Potdykova, Demireva/Kurakin decided to train under Svetlana Alexeeva and Elena KustarovainMoscow in the 2006–07 and 2007–08 seasons.[3][4] They switched to Oleg Volkov and Alexander Zhulin for their final season together, 2008–09.[5]

Partnership with Silná

[edit]

Kurakin teamed up with Czech-Austrian skater Barbora Silná in 2010.[6] The two decided to represent Austria. In the 2010–11 season, they were coached by Dmitri Sildoja and Vitali Schulz in Dortmund and Vienna.[6] The following season, training under Muriel Zazoui and Romain HaguenauerinLyon and Graz, they won their first Austrian national title.[7] During the next two seasons, they finished second to Kira Geil / Tobias Eisenbauer at the Austrian Championships. In the 2013–14 season, they switched to Barbara Fusar-PoliinMilan.[8]

Having missed qualifying for the free dance at three ISU Championship, Silná/Kurakin were successful for the first time at the 2015 EuropeansinStockholm, where they finished 18th. At the 2015 WorldsinShanghai, they ranked 21st in the short and did not advance further.

Stefano Caruso joined Fusar-Poli as the duo's coach in the 2015–16 season.[1] Silná/Kurakin reached the final segment at the 2016 EuropeansinBratislava and at the 2016 WorldsinBoston, where they placed 17th and 20th, respectively. They announced their retirement on 3 August 2016 due to Silná's back problems.[9]
