Career
Initially, like most skaters, Roman was engaged in single skating . The first coach of the novel was still in Minsk Vladimir Klochok, the first choreographer was Vladimir Chernyshev. Roman was the champion and medalist of the Israeli championships in his age groups. When Roman became interested in dancing in 1995, his parents paired his son with his younger sister Alexandra. Since then, they ride together. Until 2001, the skaters trained under the guidance of the parents of Elena and Igor.
In 2001-2003, the couple trained with Irina Romanova and Igor Yaroshenko in Wilmington ( Delaware ). In 2003, they were forced to return to Israel, as Roman was called up for active duty in the IDF . In Israel, they continued to train with their mother, Elena. In January 2005, they transferred to Evgeny Platov . In the summer of 2006, they came to train in Moscow , because Platov participated in the project of the RTR channel "Dancing on Ice". The next trainer of the couple, in 2008 , was Nikolai Morozov , but in his group, Halit Haight mainly worked with them. When Galit decided to work independently, the Zaretsky left with her.

In 2006, the Zaretsky competed at their first Olympics in Turin , taking the 22nd place, and in 2008 entered the European and World Top Ten for the first time (TOP-10).
