Personal life
Artur Gachinski was born in Moscow. At age nine, he moved with his family to Saint Petersburg for training. He initially competed under his mother's surname Хиль,[6] which was romanized as Khil[7] or Hill. After a discussion with his family, he decided to take his father's surname, Gachinski.[6] His mother is a painter.[8]
Career
Gachinski's parents brought him to a rink when he was six years old.[8] He was eventually accepted as a pupil by Alexei Mishin but was coached mainly by his wife Tatiana Mishina for the first few years and then Mishin began coaching him as well.[8]
In the 2005–2006 season, Gachinski won the junior bronze medal at the Russian Championships. In the 2006–2007 season, Gachinski placed 8th on the junior level and 14th on the senior level at the Russian Championships.
The 2007–2008 season was the first season for which Gachinski was old enough to compete on the Junior level internationally. He made his debut on the ISU Junior Grand Prix on the 2007–2008 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit. He won the silver medal at the event in Estonia and placed 4th at the event in Romania to qualify for the Junior Grand Prix Final, where he placed 8th. He won the gold medal on the junior level at the 2007 Coupe de Nice and placed 9th at the 2008 Russian Championships.
In the 2008–2009 season, Gachinski competed on the 2008–2009 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit. He won the silver medal at the event in Spain and placed fourth at the event in Great Britain to qualify for the 2008–2009 ISU Junior Grand Prix Final, where he placed 8th. He made his senior international debut at the 2008 Golden Spin of Zagreb, where he placed eighth. At the 2009 Russian Championships, he placed 10th on the senior level and won the silver medal on the junior level. Although he was originally named to the team to the 2009 World Junior Championships, he withdrew from the event before the event began due to illness.
The 2009-2010 season was Gachinski's second time on the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit. He won the gold medal in Belarus and the silver in Germany, qualifying him for the 2009-2010 ISU Junior Grand Prix Final, in which he placed 6th. Gachinski won gold at the 2009 Coupe Internationale de Nice. At the 2010 Russian Championships, he was 13th on the senior level and the gold medalist on the junior level. At the 2010 Junior World Championships, he was in sixth after the short program. He rallied in the free skate, and, despite popping his planned quad, he earned enough points overall to take the bronze.[9]
Gachinski began the 2010-2011 season with wins at Finlandia Trophy and Coupe de Nice. He picked up a viral infection a week before 2010 Skate Canada.[10] Gachinski finished 7th at the event, his debut on the senior Grand Prix. He was assigned to compete at 2010 Cup of Russia where he placed sixth. He won his first senior national medal, silver, at the 2011 Russian Championships behind Konstantin Menshov. Gachinski was assigned to his first European Championships where he finished fifth, ahead of Menshov, and was given Russia's sole berth to the men's event at the World Championships. He won the bronze in his first appearance at the event.
In preparation for the 2011–2012 season, Gachinski took part in Mishin's training camps in Jaca (Spain), Tartu (Estonia), and Pinzolo (Italy) and worked with Stéphane Lambiel.[8][11] Gachinski was assigned to 2011 Cup of China and 2011 Cup of Russia for the Grand Prix season. At Cup of China, he won the short program but finished 5th overall.
Both Gachinski and 2006 Olympic champion Evgeny Plushenko are trained in Saint Petersburg by Alexei Mishin.
