Olga Prokuronova

Olga Prokuronova (Russian: Ольга Прокуронова; born 3 July 1989) is a Russian former pair skater. Prokuronova competed with Czech skater Karel Štefl and won the 2006 Czech senior national title. They placed 10th in the short program at the 2006 European Championships in Lyon, France, but suffered a fall on a lift in the free skate.[1] Prokuronova lay on the ice for several seconds before Štefl helped her to her feet and she exited the ice.[1] They withdrew from the event. An ISU doctor said Prokuronova had not sustained a serious injury but was taken to the hospital for further examination.[1] In October 2006, it was reported that she had declined to resume the partnership.[2]
