Andrei Alexandrovich Novoselov (born 24 November 1989) is a Russian pair skater. Competing for France with Lola Esbrat, he has won two international medals. Earlier, he represented Russia with Tatiana Novik, Tatiana Danilova, and Sabina Imaikina.

Career

Novoselov began learning to skate in 1993.

For Russia

In 2007, Novoselov began competing on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series with Sabina Imaikina. The following year, they won two silver medals on the JGP series and qualified for the 2008–09 JGP Final, where they placed 5th. At the 2009 Russian Championships, the pair placed fifth on the senior level and took bronze on the junior level. They were coached by Valeri Tiukov and Valentina Tiukova in Perm. They parted ways at the end of the season.

Novoselov partnered with Tatiana Danilova later in 2009. They placed eighth at the 2010 Russian Junior Championships and took the silver medal at the 2010 Golden Spin of Zagreb. The pair was coached by Inna Utkina.

In 2011, Novoselov began skating with Tatiana Novik. They placed fourth at the 2011 Ice Challenge and eighth at the 2012 Russian Championships before winning the 2012 MNNT Cup. The pair entered the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy, intending to represent Romania, but did not compete at the event.

For France

By July 2014, Novoselov had teamed up with Daria Popova to compete for France. They planned to divide their training between Moscow, coached by Inna Utkina, and Paris. On July 31, 2015, however, it was announced that Popova had decided to retire from competitive figure skating and that Novoselov had found a new partner, Lola Esbrat.

Esbrat/Novoselov are coached by Claude Thevenard in Paris. In 2016, the pair won bronze medals at the MNNT Cup and Bavarian Open. They were named in France's team to the 2016 World Championships in Boston.
