Petrova was the former partner of two-time World Champion Sikharulidze.
They were twice Junior World Champions, 1994 and 1995. When he left her to skate
with Berezhnaya in 1996, she continued her career with Pulin. Petrova teamed
up with Tikhonov in the summer of 1998. Tikhonov was World Junior Bronze medalist
(1989 with Irina Saifutdinova) and has also competed for Japan. After the 1994
season he stopped his competitive career to skate in shows. He came back to
competitive skating because he missed it. They name Olympic Champions Gordeeva/Grinkov
and Mishkutionok/Dmitriev as their idols in skating. Petrova / Tikhonov include
two different triple jumps (toeloop and Salchow) in their Free Program.
The couple missed the 2007 National
Championships due to illness (Petrova).
