Career

Knyazev competed with Irina Galkina at the 1997 and 1998 World Junior Championships. They parted ways at the end of the 1997–98 season.

In 1998, Knyazev began a two-season partnership with Irina Shabanova. The pair placed eighth at the 1999 Four Continents Championships and ninth in 2000 Four Continents. They trained in Pervouralsk, Russia.[1]

Knyazev teamed up with Marina Aganina in 2000. The pair was coached by Petr Kiprushev in Pervouralsk.[2] In the 2005–06 season, Knyazev began helping coach himself and Aganina.[3] They represented Uzbekistan at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, where they placed 16th.[4] Knyazev retired from competition following the 2006–07 season. He co-coached Aganina and her new partner.

Knyazev has performed in and directed Russian ice shows.[5]
