Tatiana Ivanovna Totmianina (Russian: Татьяна Ивановна Тотьмянина) and Maxim Viktorovich Marinin (Russian: Максим Викторович Маринин) are Russian former competitive pair skaters. Tatiana was born on 2 November 1981 in Perm, Russia and Maxim was born on 23 March 1977 in Volgograd, Russia. The pair began skating together in 1996 and retired from competition in 2006. Together they are the 2006 Olympic champions, two-time World champions, five-time European champions, and three-time Russian national champions.
Early in their career together, they were coached by Natalia Pavlova in Saint Petersburg. Totmianina/Marinin left Pavlova just prior to the 2001 European Championships and moved to Chicago in the United States to train under 1984 Olympic pairs champion Oleg Vasiliev at the Oakton Ice Arena in Park Ridge, Illinois.
On 23 October 2004, during the free skate at 2004 GP Skate America in Pittsburgh, Marinin lost his balance while attempting an axel lasso lift and Totmianina slammed into the ice head first. She had to be carried off the ice on a stretcher, sustained a concussion and spent the night in a local hospital. On 25 October, Totmianina said that, although she felt pain, she had no memory of the accident and was not afraid to return to the ice. She recovered from her injuries rapidly and was able to resume training within days. Although Totmianina did not blame him, the accident weighed heavily on Marinin and when the pair returned to training, he was unable to lift her due to panic attacks. He began seeing a sport psychologist who helped him overcome the issue. At their first competition after the accident, Russian Nationals 2004/05, they placed first.
After retirement, Totmianina/Marinin have appeared in several seasons and incarnations of the Russian show “Ice Age”, as skaters or judges. They also participate regularly together in Russian ice shows, most of them productions by Ilya Averbukh.
Marinin tried his hand as a choreographer with the 2014–15 short program of Russian pair skaters Vera Bazarova/Andrei Deputat. He also works as a figure skating coach in Ilya Averbukh’s school Путь к успеху (Path to Success).
