Alexei Konstantinovich Yagudin (born 18 March 1980 in Leningrad) is a Russian figure skater and a merited master of sport of Russia. He is the 2002 Olympic champion, a four-time World champion, a three-time European champion.

Interesting Fact

Prior to the Salt Lake City Olympics, Yagudin had an extremely unsuccessful season where he lost all of his competitions. Moreover, as he was about to leave for the Winter Olympics, his congenital hip disorder intensified, paralysing Yagudin at the most inconvinient time of all. This caused a serious conflict with his senior trainer, who eventually almost disrupted Yagudin's programme. His performance at Salt Lake City will later become the best performance in the history of male figure skating Olympics, and Yagudin himself will receive first-place votes from all nine judges throughout the competition.
