Victor is a Russian figure skater widely considered a living legend in the sport. He's a five-time World Champion—basically the gold standard of competitive skating—and has built a reputation as someone who constantly pushes the boundaries of what's possible on ice. His whole thing is surprising people; he genuinely seems to thrive on reinventing his skating and keeping everyone guessing about what he'll do next.
What really caught people's attention, though, was his sudden retirement from competition. At the height of his dominance, he shocked the skating world by stepping away to become Yuri's coach. It was an unexpected move from someone so dominant, but it also kind of fit his personality—always doing something nobody saw coming. His charisma and showmanship have made him one of the most recognizable faces in figure skating, and plenty of fans see him as having fundamentally changed the sport during his competitive career.
