Dmitriev is the only male pair skater to win the Olympics with two different partners.

Artur Valeryevich Dmitriev was born on 21 January 1968 to Russian parents inBila Tserkva,Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union.^[1][2][3] He was raised inNorilsk,Russian SFSR.^[4] From 1992 to 2006, Dmitriev was married torhythmic gymnastTatiana Druchinina; their son,Artur Jr, was born on 7 September 1992 inSaint Petersburg, Russia.^[5] Dmitriev is remarried to an accountant, Tatiana Fedorova, with whom he has a son named Artiom.

Dmitriev began skating in 1975.^[1] He teamed up withNatalia Mishkutionok around 1986.^[6] They were coached byTamara Moskvina inSaint Petersburg and their choreographers were Alexander Matveev with Moskvina.^[6][7] They won the gold medal at the1992 Olympics, and the silver at the1994 Olympics behindEkaterina Gordeeva /Sergei Grinkov. They represented theUnified Team, the sports team of the formerSoviet Union during the 1992 Olympics, but represented Russia in 1994. Mishkutionok/Dmitriev won theWorld Figure Skating Championships and theEuropean Championships in 1991 and 1992. Mishkutionok decided to retire from competition in 1994.

Dmitriev wanted to continue his competitive career and found a new partner,Oksana Kazakova, in February 1995.^[8][9] They were coached by Moskvina atYubileyny Sports Palace in Saint Petersburg.^[1] Their choreographers were Alexander Matveev, David Avdish, and Moskvina.^[10] Early in their partnership, Kazakova/Dmitriev missed six months when she injured her leg.^[8] They won the1996 European Championships and bronze at the1997 World Championships. In 1998, they won theOlympic title inNagano,Japan. This made Dmitriev the first male skater to win the pairs event twice with different partners.^[8] The pair retired from competition but continued to skate in shows.

Despite being close competitive rivals, he was friends with both Grinkov and Sikharulidze. He helped Moskvina coach Sikharulidze even while they were competing against each other.

Dmitriev later became a coach. He spent a few years coaching atHackensack, New Jersey's Ice House.^[11] Dmitriev began coaching at Yubileyny in the mid-2000s, working alongside Kazakova and Moskvina and coachingKatarina Gerboldt /Alexander Enbert among others.^[12] In March 2012, Dmitriev said he would move toMoscow and coach at the UOR 4 Moscow Gomelski Academy at the Mechta rink (Russian:УОР №4 им.
