Personal life
Zaboev was born in Sverdlovsk, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. In addition to skating, he competed in ballroom dancing until 2004.[1]
Skating career
Zaboev began skating in 1994 and competed in singles until the end of 2008, before joining an ice ballet for two years.[1][2]
In 2010, Zaboev began competing in pair skating with Alexandra Herbríková for the Czech Republic. They were coached by Stanislav Žídek and Otto Dlabola in Ostrava.[3]
Zaboev teamed up with Natalja Zabijako to compete for Estonia. They began training together on 19 September 2012.[4] By finishing ninth at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy, they earned a spot for Estonia in pair skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Zaboev applied for Estonian citizenship, required to represent the country at the Olympics,[5] but in November 2013, Estonia denied his fast-track application.[6]
Zabijako/Zaboev placed tenth at the 2014 European Championships and 19th at the 2014 World Championships. On April 6, 2014, Sport Express reported that their partnership had ended.[7]
On July 6, 2015, it was announced that Zaboev had teamed up with Japanese pair skater Narumi Takahashi to compete for Japan.[8] Their partnership was short-lived.
