Andrei Vasilievich Bushkov (Russian: ĐĐœĐŽŃĐ”Đč ĐĐ°ŃОлŃĐ”ĐČĐžŃ ĐŃŃĐșĐŸĐČ; born 13 October 1969) is a Russian former pair skater who represented the Soviet Union until its fall, and, after that, Russia. With partner Marina Eltsova, he is the 1996 World champion and a two-time (1993 and 1997) European champion.
Eltsova / Bushkov missed the 1997â1998 Champions Series Final because Bushkov had a groin injury. They withdrew from the 1998 European Championships â Bushkov's right blade broke during the short program. The pair competed at the 1998 Winter Olympics, where they placed seventh. They were coached by Natalia Pavlova in Saint Petersburg.
Before teaming up with Eltsova, he competed internationally with Yulia Liashenko. They were the 1988 World Junior bronze medalists for the Soviet Union.
