Elena Larionov

The former Soviet Union figure skater earned the title of World Junior champion in 1980 and '81. Today, the 53-year-old is the mother of Alonka (right, 31, Diana, 27, and Igor Jr., 19. She lives in Bloomfield Hills with her husband, Igor Larionov, who was a member of the Detroit Red Wings' Russian Five. 

I always thought it would be a huge responsibility to be a mother. I made a choice to become a full-time mother, so I stop-ped skating. When we left Russia, Alyonka was 2 years old. It was very difficult [because of the] language and different lifestyle. As time went by, we became more comfortable and [Michigan eventually] became our home. The most important thing is to spend as much time as possible with your kids. They grow up so fast, you don’t want to regret that you didn’t. And [for parents moving to the U.S.], as much as you want them to adjust to your new lifestyle, you have to keep your traditions and your language.

My children are the most important part of my life. So, I always try to be there for them. I am very proud of my kids [and] all the amazing things they’ve accomplished. Kids are the flowers in our lives. They are all different, but always beautiful. I hope they only take positive lessons from my life. I always tried to teach them to be nice to people. We are all equal. Some just have more opportunities. I am always amazed at how strong and determined they are. They definitely got it from their father.
