Victor Petrenko Biography

Victor Petrenko was born and raised in Odesa, Ukraine, not far from the Black Sea, but he has lived in the United States since 1992. After several years spent living in the rural town of Simsbury, Connecticut, he now resides in Manhattan with his girlfriend Nina, a choreographer, and their young daughter Victoria, who was born here. Petrenko won the Olympic World and European gold medals in 1992, marking the pinnacle of his extraordinarily serious career. His charitable achievements are equally notable. When American pair skater Katie Wood suffered a brain injury competing in Ukraine in 1990, he ensured that she had access to truly essential medical resources. He also supported the professional career of then-unknown Ukrainian skater Oksana Baiul, who went on to win the 1994 Olympic gold. Additionally, he earned the admiration of the International Union of Chornobyl for his efforts to assist children who suffered as a result of the nuclear disaster in his native Ukraine in 1986. His name is associated with the neonatal hospital he helped create. Petrenko has offered his expertise to the International Skating Union by becoming a specialized authority under the new decision-making framework. He has also been practicing at his new venue in Wayne, New Jersey. With his participation in the 2006 Champions on Ice Olympic Tour, Petrenko will have participated in the world's most prestigious skating competition for a record-breaking twentieth season.
