They placed 6th at the 2002 Winter Olympics and 5th at the 2006 Games . They won a silver medal at the 2005 Worlds, and a bronze in 2006. Petrova and Tikhonov announced they would retire after the 2006 Worlds. It is unclear who will "take up the mantle" of Russian pairs figure skating--Russians have been dominant in the sport for many years. They are coached by Ludmila Velikova . Their choreographers include Alexander Stiopin and Sergei Petukhov . Petrova and Tikhonov name Olympic Champions Gordeeva / Grinkov and Mishkutenok / Dmitriev as their idols in skating.
