'''Igor Anatolyevich Bobrin''' ({{langx|ru|Игорь Анатольевич Бобрин}}) (born 14 November 1953<ref name=spisok1112/>) is a Russian former competitive figure skater who represented the Soviet Union. He is the 1981 European champion, the 1981 World bronze medalist, and a four-time (1978, 1980–1982) Soviet national champion. Bobrin placed 6th at the 1980 Winter Olympics.
==Career== During his competitive career, Bobrin was known for being a particularly creative free skater. He invented an unusual horizontal-twisting jump sometimes called a "log jump" or "Bobrinover". At one of his first international competitions, the 1972 Winter Universiade, a contemporary review noted that even the pros were puzzled by the jump, which was described as "somewhat like an Arabian cartwheel, only performed going straight ahead".<ref name=fisu/> He was coached by Igor Moskvin and since 1980 by Yuri Ovchinnikov.<ref name=se090825/>
Following his competitive career, Bobrin created his own ice theater. He currently skates with Moscow Stars On Ice and works as a coach and choreographer.<ref name=aoi071125/> He choreographed Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze's competitive Chaplin program.<ref name=aoi071125/>
In 2011–2012, Bobrin appeared on the panel of judges for the television show "Cup of Professionals"<ref name="Cup of Professionals">[http://www.1tv.ru/sprojects_in_detail/si=5847 "Cup of Professionals"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302100838/http://www.1tv.ru/sprojects_in_detail/si=5847 |date=2012-03-02 }}</ref> on Russian television Channel One.
