Following her break-up with Aleksei Ulanov, a nationwide search was underway in 1972 to find Irina Rodnina a new partner. Aleksandr Zaitsev became her new partner on the ice and in April, 1975, they became partners off the ice as well with their marriage. Remarkably, Irina and Sasha won every competition they entered including two Olympics and six World Championships. At the 1974 European Championships, they posted a record number of 11 perfect 6.0 scores. They missed the 1979 season when their son, Sasha Jr., was born.
