Vladimir Samoilov, the reigning four-time Polish National Champion, worked with Ivan Righini on both of his programs for the 2026 Olympic season.

Ivan choreographed his short program to a ’90s-era mashup (Penny Ford, SNAP!, and Bomfunk MC’s) and his free program to a medley of Rag’n’Bone Man’s “Lay My Body Down” and “Human.”

A consistent competitor at the World and European Championships, Vladimir is also the 2024 CS Warsaw Cup Champion and the 2022 Bavarian Open Champion.
