Lipnitskaya is the youngest Russian athlete to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics. Within the women's singles category, she is the youngest gold medalist at the European Championships. She is also the second-youngest female figure skater to win a gold medal at the Olympics; Lipnitskaya was 15 years, 249 days old when Russia won the team trophy.
Early life
Yulia Vyacheslavovna Lipnitskaya was born on 5 June 1998, in Yekaterinburg, Russia.[1][2] Daniela Leonidovna Lipnitskaya, a single mother, raised Yulia and gave her daughter her surname. While Daniela was pregnant, Vyacheslav, Yulia's father, was drafted into the Russian army and chose not to return to the family afterward.[3]
Career
Early career
Lipnitskaya began figure skating at age four when her mother took her to train under coach Elena Levkovets.[4] She also trained in rhythmic gymnastics to improve her flexibility.[5] She skated in Yekaterinburg until 2009, when she and her mother began to discuss her future, concluding that they should relocate for her skating career. They moved to Moscow where Lipnitskaya joined Eteri Tutberidze's group in March 2009.[6]
Lipnitskaya became age-eligible for junior international competition in the 2011–12 season. She debuted on the Junior Grand Prix series at the Baltic Cup in Gdańsk, Poland, winning both programs to take the gold medal.[10] She then won her second assignment in Milan, Italy, to qualify for the Junior Grand Prix Final.[11][12] At the Junior Grand Prix Final in Quebec, Lipnitskaya placed first in both segments to win the gold medal.[13]
Lipnitskaya won silver on the senior level at the 2012 Russian Championships, having placed third in the short program and first in the free skate.[14] She later took gold at the 2012 Russian Junior Championships.[15] At the World Junior Championships, she won gold while achieving the junior-level ladies' record for the combined total and the free skate.[16] She had no falls on the ice when competing during the 2011–12 season.[17]
2012–13 season: Senior debut
Lipnitskaya became age-eligible for some senior events but not the World or European Championships. She made her senior debut at the 2012 Finlandia Trophy where she won the gold medal.[18] Lipnitskaya was assigned to two Grand Prix events. Having placed first in the short program and second in the free skate, Lipnitskaya won the silver medal at the 2012 Cup of China behind gold medalist Mao Asada.[19] The day before she left for Paris for the 2012 Trophee Eric Bompard, Lipnitskaya twisted her right ankle during off-ice training and could hardly do any jumps a day before the start of the event, but decided to compete in the short program as she felt better.[20] She placed first in the short program and third in the free skate and won the bronze medal.[21]
Lipnitskaya qualified for the Grand Prix Final in Sochi, Russia, but withdrew due to injury. During training on 28 November, she lost balance on the entry to a spin, split her chin, and sustained a slight concussion.[22] Doctors recommended that she stay off the ice for at least two weeks.[22] She resumed partial training in mid-December, omitting jumps and spins, and then after eight days began full training.[23] Needing more preparation time, Lipnitskaya withdrew from the senior Russian Championships.[24] She returned to competition at the 2013 Russian Junior Championships and finished in fifth place. After the competition, Lipnitskaya said she was still working to return to form after her injury.[25] She then competed at the 2013 World Junior Championships where she won the silver medal with teammates Elena Radionova and Anna Pogorilaya taking the gold and bronze medals respectively.[26]
2013–14 season: Olympic and European champion
Lipnitskaya selected all the music for her 2013–14 programs by herself. She chose Mark Minkov's You Don't Give Up On Love for her short program.[27] For the free skate, she chose the theme from Schindler's List after she had watched the film many times. Initially, her coach was not convinced it was a good idea, and they struggled to find a choreographer for the program. Former ice dancerIlia Averbukh choreographed both programs.[28][27]
In the 2013–14 season, Lipnitskaya became age-eligible for all senior ISU events. She began her season by winning the gold medal at the 2013 Finlandia Trophy.[28] Her first 2013–14 Grand Prix event was the 2013 Skate Canada International. She placed second in the short program and first in the free skate, winning gold with 198.23 points.[29] At the 2013 Rostelecom Cup, she scored 72.24 points in the short program to take the lead.[30] Despite losing the free skate to Italy's Carolina Kostner, she still won the gold medal overall and qualified for the Grand Prix Final.[31] At the event in Fukuoka, Japan, she placed fourth in the short program, second in the free skate, and won the silver medal behind Mao Asada.[32]
Lipnitskaya won the silver medal behind Adelina Sotnikova at the 2014 Russian Championships, after placing second in the short and first in the free.[33] In her European Championships debut, she placed second to Sotnikova in the short program, first in the free skate, and scored a total of 209.72 points.[34] Finishing ahead of Sotnikova and Carolina Kostner, 15-year-old Lipnitskaya became the youngest European champion in ladies' singles and the first Russian to win the ladies' title since Slutskaya eight years earlier, in 2006.[35]
Lipnitskaya was selected for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. The first skating event was the team trophy, which allowed each team to make a maximum of two substitutions. The Russian team initially discussed assigning Lipnitskaya to the free skate and Sotnikova to the short program, but ultimately, it was decided that Lipnitskaya would skate both.[36] She placed first in both segments to help team Russia win the gold medal.[2] She became the youngest Olympic gold medalist in figure skating under modern rules, being six days younger than American Tara Lipinski when she won the 1998 Winter Olympics at 15 in Nagano, Japan. The only skater younger than Lipnitskaya to have won gold is Maxi Herber who won Olympic pair skating gold at the 1936 Winter Olympics.[37] However, Herber would have been too young to skate at the Olympics under modern rules, so her record is impossible to beat.[38] On 10 February 2014, Lipnitskaya appeared on the cover of Time magazine in the European and Asian editions.[39] After the team event, she left Sochi to train at her regular rink in Moscow.[36] Her coach Tutberidze said that the Russian media interest was excessive—listening devices were found in the locker room in Moscow, and reporters followed both the skater and her relatives.[40] In the individual event, she placed fifth in the short program after falling on her triple-flip, sixth in the free skate after a step out on her triple-loop and a fall on her triple-salchow, and finished fifth overall.[41][40]
In March, Lipnitskaya received a letter from Steven Spielberg, the director of Schindler's List, praising her portrayal of the girl in the red coat.[42] A few weeks later, she made her World Championship debut at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama, Japan. She placed third in the short program and second in the free skate earning 132.96 points, and won the silver medal. Her total score of 207.50 points placed her 9.19 points behind the gold medalist Mao Asada and 3.67 ahead of the bronze medalist Carolina Kostner.[43][44]
2014–15 season: Struggles
For the 2014–15 Grand Prix season, Lipnitskaya was selected to compete at the 2014 Cup of China and the 2014 Trophée Éric Bompard.[45] At the Cup of China, Lipnitskaya was first after the short program. However, she was fourth in her free skate, putting her second overall behind Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. Lipnitskaya missed the medal ceremony because she left the rink to go to her hotel due to the stress of having a poor free skate, and she was unaware of the time of the ceremony. She had received a call from the event organizers, informing her of the ceremony and hurried back to the rink, but it had been too late to attend.[46] The International Skating Union fined her by deducting part of her prize money.[47] Lipnitskaya won the silver medal at the Trophée Bompard behind compatriot Elena Radionova after placing second in both segments.[48] Her results qualified her for the Grand Prix Final in Barcelona.[49] In the final, she placed second in the short program behind Tuktamysheva. However, she struggled during the free skate, causing her to drop to fifth overall.[50]
At the 2015 Russian Championships, Lipnitskaya placed sixth in the short program and eleventh in the free skate, which resulted in ninth place overall.[51] She was not selected to compete at the 2015 European Championships, preventing her from defending her title, nor at the 2015 World Championships. On 13 January 2015, after a meeting with FFKKR officials, Lipnitskaya stated that this season was over for her and that she would recover and train for the next season. She also said that she intended to stay with her then-coaches.[52]
2015–16 season: Coaching change
In May 2015, Lipnitskaya started working with a new choreographer, Marina Zueva, in Chicago to prepare her programs for the season.[53] Her 2015–16 Grand Prix assignments were the Skate America and the Trophée Éric Bompard.[54] She began her season with a second-place finish at the 2015 Finlandia Trophy.[55] She placed fifth at the 2015 Skate America during the short program but dropped to seventh after struggles in the free skate, resulting in an overall sixth place finish.[56] After the short program at the Trophée Éric Bompard, she was in second place, but the competition was canceled due to the terrorist attacks in Paris, which occurred only hours after the first day of competition concluded.[57][58]
On 18 November 2015, Lipnitskaya announced that she left her longtime coaches, Eteri Tutberidze and Sergei Dudakov, to move to train under 1994 Olympic champion, Alexei Urmanov, in Sochi.[59] Then in December, she competed at the Russian Championships, where she finished in seventh place after making several mistakes in the free skate.[60] Following her placement at the Russian Championships, she was not selected to compete at the European Championships.[61] She then competed at the 2015–16 Russian Cup Final, where she placed first in the short program, and second in the free skate, resulting in a silver medal finish behind compatriot Alena Leonova.[62] Lipnitskaya competed at the 2016 Cup of Tyrol in Innsbruck, Austria, despite her doctors recommending rest due to a hip injury.[63] She won the gold medal, her first win at a competition in two years.[64]
2016–17 season: Injuries
For the 2016–17 season, Lipnitskaya was assigned to two ISU Grand Prix events, the Skate America and the Rostelecom Cup.[65] She began the season at the Ondrej Nepela Memorial held in Bratislava, Slovakia. During the short program, her music was turned on before she got to her starting position, but the referee stopped the music and allowed her to restart.[66] She won the short program but then placed fifth in the free skate. She won the silver medal overall behind teammate Maria Sotskova.[67]
Lipnitskaya withdrew from the Skate America after a recurring injury.[68] She still opted to compete at her second Grand Prix assignment, the 2016 Rostelecom Cup. In the short program, Lipnitskaya earned 69.25 points, and she went into third place behind compatriots Elena Radionova and Anna Pogorilaya. In the free skate, her leg injury aggravated her, causing her to stop just after the halfway point in the program. After negotiating with the judges and her coach, she was allowed to continue where she left off, but she was heavily penalized for the interruption. Her free skate score was only 79.21 points, making for a total score of 148.46, finishing in 12th and last place.[69][70][71]
Following training on 18 December 2016, Lipnitskaya slipped on a patch of ice, injuring her right hip and lower back. As a result, she withdrew from the Russian Championships.[72]
Retirement
On 28 August 2017, Lipnitskaya's mother, Daniela, told TASS that her daughter had decided to retire in April after returning from three months of treatment for anorexia.[73][74] President of the Russian Figure Skating Federation, Valentin Piseev, confirmed that Lipnitskaya had informed them of her decision in April and that August's announcement "did not come as a surprise".[75]
Despite being retired from competitive figure skating, she is still involved in the sport and teaches masterclasses for young skaters. In December 2020, Lipnitskaya joined the coaching staff of Evgeni Plushenko's skating academy.[76]
Personal life
In June 2020, Lipnitskaya confirmed that she was expecting her first child with her partner at the time Vladislav Tarasenko.[77] Her daughter, Katalina, was born on 27 June 2020.[78] In 2022, Tarasenko was drafted for the Russian army during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[79] The couple separated sometime after his deployment and as of 2023, he is deployed in the Russian occupation of Zaporizhzhia Oblast.[80]
In June 2024 Yulia Lipnitskaya married Dmitri Mikhailov, a Russian figure skating coach and choreographer.[81] The couple have work at the academy of olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko and frequently skate together in ice shows. The couple welcomed a son together in September 2024.[81]
