Arina Andreyevna Ushakova (Russian: Арина Андреевна Ушакова; born 18 December 1989) is a Russian retired pair skater. She finished 5th at the 2008 European Championships with Sergei Karev and won four ISU Junior Grand Prix medals with Alexander Popov.

Career

Ushakova teamed up with Alexander Popov in 2000. They trained in Perm, coached by Liudmila Kalinina during their first season and then moved to the husband-and-wife team of Valentina and Valeri Tiukov. Ushakova / Popov won four medals on the JGP series – one gold, two silver, and one bronze – and qualified twice for the JGP Final. Their partnership ended in 2005.

Ushakova teamed up with Sergei Karev in 2005 and left her hometown of Perm to train with him in Moscow.[1] They were coached by Nina Mozer during their first two seasons together. After the 2006–2007 season, they switched coaches to Natalia Pavlova.[1] They won the bronze medal at the 2008 Russian Nationals and were sent to the 2008 European Championships where they finished 5th. In the long program, they had a fall on a lift but were not injured.[2] They split at the end of the season due to Karev's serious illness.[3] Ushakova had a tryout with Jerome Blanchard but they decided not to team up.[3] She retired from competition and began coaching in Moscow.[4][5]
