Anjelika Alexeyevna Krylova (Russian:Анжелика Алексеевна Крылова; born 4 July 1973) is a Russian retiredice dancer. With partnerOleg Ovsyannikov, she is the 1998Olympic silver medalist and two-time (1998, 1999)World champion. She currently works as a coach and choreographer inMoscow, Russia.

In her early career, Anjelika Krylova skated with Vladimir Leliukh andVladimir Fedorov. With Fedorov, she won the bronze medal at the1993 World Championships and was sixth at the1994 Olympics.

In mid-1994, Krylova teamed up with Oleg Ovsyannikov. That same year they moved with their coachesNatalia Linichuk andGennadi Karponosov toNewark, Delaware.^[1] Krylova injured her back in training shortly before they were set to leave for1994 Skate America. The rink workers had forgot to close the gate and she stumbled as she skated backward. Aggravated by intense training, the injury would plague her throughout her career.^[2]

In their first season together, Krylova and Ovsyannikov won theRussian national title and took bronze at theEuropean Championship. They were fifth at theWorld Championships.

During the 1995–96 season, Krylova and Ovsyannikov won silver atSkate America and gold atNations Cup to qualify for theChampions Series Final (later renamed the Grand Prix Final) where they took silver. They also won silver at theRussian,European andWorld Championships. They were second at these events toOksana Grishuk andEvgeni Platov.

During the 1996–97 season, Krylova and Ovsyannikov won three gold medals on the Champions Series atSkate America,Nations Cup andCup of Russia. They qualified for theChampions Series Final inCanada where they were placed second to CanadiansShae-Lynn Bourne andVictor Kraatz. Krylova and Ovsyannikov won the silver medal at theEuropean andWorld Championships, second at both events to Grishuk and Platov.

During the 1997–98 season, Krylova and Ovsyannikov won gold medals atNations Cup andCup of Russia but did not compete at theChampions Series Final. They won silver at theEuropean Championships and followed it up with silver at the1998 Olympics inNagano,Japan. They were second at both events to Grishuk and Platov who retired after the Olympics. At the1998 World Championships, they won their first World title ahead ofMarina Anissina andGwendal Peizerat.^{[citation needed]} They used music from the operaCarmen for their free skate. Figure skating writer and historian Ellyn Kestnbaum called it "a dramatic interpretation" and said that it included many hunched-over and distorted angled positions, as well as "over-the-top" facial expressions, especially from Ovsianmikov. Kestnbaum stated that the program "seemed to depict a struggle or sexual encounter in which she retained the upper hand".^[3] Kestnbaum also reported that one reporter called the program "an updated, playful version ofCarmen".^[3]

During the 1998–99 season, Krylova and Ovsyannikov won gold atSparkassen Cup (formerly Nations Cup) andCup of Russia to qualify for theGrand Prix Final. They won the title ahead of Anissina and Peizerat. They won their firstEuropean title and then capped off their career with their secondWorld title.

Krylova and Ovsyannikov were planning to compete the following season and had prepared programs and costumes, however, doctors advised her to retire due to a risk of paralysis stemming from her back problem.^[4][2] She suggested that he team up with another skater but he declined.^[2] After a year, she felt more confident and they began performing in the less demanding world of professional skating.^[2] They won the 2001 World Professional title.

After ending her career, Krylova became a figure skating coach and choreographer alongsidePasquale Camerlengo. They worked for a year inBerlin, Germany, and in 2006, moved to work at the Detroit Skating Club inBloomfield Hills, Michigan. In 2018, Krylova moved to Moscow, Russia, to coach withAlbena Denkova,Maxim Staviski, and her former partnerOleg Ovsyannikov.
