Sergei Evgenyevich Voronov (Russian: Серге́й Евгеньевич Воронов; born in 1987) is a Russian figure skater. He is a two-time European medalist (2014 silver, 2015 bronze), the 2014–15 Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, a two-time World Junior medalist (2006 silver, 2007 bronze), and a two-time Russian national champion (2008, 2009).
Sergei Evgenyevich Voronov was born in 1987 in Moscow. The International Skating Union gives October as his month of birth while the Russian skating federation lists November.
Voronov began skating in 1991. He broke his collarbone two years later while skating. Voronov was coached by Rafael Arutyunyan in Moscow until 2000 when Arutyunyan moved to the U.S. Voronov decided to move to Saint Petersburg where he was coached by Galina Kashina for two years and then switched to Alexei Urmanov.
Voronov withdrew from the 2005 World Junior Championships after the qualifying round due to an injury which kept him off the ice for three months. He had placed sixth in the qualifying round.
Voronov withdrew from the 2007 Skate Canada International before the event due to a recurring foot injury. He placed fourth in the free skate at the 2008 World Championships and finished 7th overall.
In the 2009–10 season, Voronov was assigned to the 2009 Cup of China, where he took bronze, and 2009 Trophée Eric Bompard, where he was sixth. He won the silver medal at the 2010 Russian national championships. Voronov was sent to Europeans but his 14th-place result led Russia to assign the country's second men's spot at the Olympics and Worlds to Russian national bronze medalist Artem Borodulin (along with Evgeni Plushenko). Plushenko's withdrawal from the 2010 World Championships due to injury allowed Voronov to be called up as a late replacement. Voronov would place 14th. This placement, along with Borodulin's withdrawal during the competition, meant Russia would have one men's berth to the 2011 World Championships. At the end of the season, he left coach Alexei Urmanov and moved back to Moscow to be coached by Nikolai Morozov.
