Career edit

Aganina's first skating partner was Renat Sabirov. She teamed up with Artem Knyazev in 2000. The pair was coached by Petr Kiprushev in Pervouralsk.[1] In the 2005–06 season, Knyazev began helping coach himself and Aganina.[2] They represented Uzbekistan at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, where they placed 16th.[3] Knyazev retired from competition following the 2006–07 season.

In the summer of 2007, Aganina began a partnership with Dmitry Zobnin which lasted three seasons. They attempted to qualify for the 2010 Winter Olympics at the 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy but were unsuccessful.
