Personal life

Oleksandra Nazarova[1] was born on 30 November 1996 in Kharkiv, Ukraine.[2] In 2013, she moved to Moscow, Russia.[3] In 2014, she began taking correspondence courses at the Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture.[4]

Career

Nazarova was a single skater in her early years. Around 2004, Halyna Churilova encouraged her and Maksym Nikitin, also a single skater from Kharkiv, to form an ice dancing partnership.[4] Churilova coached the team in their hometown.[5]

Seasons: 2010–11 to 2013–14

Nazarova/Nikitin debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in 2010. They placed 11th in Graz, Austria and 7th in Sheffield, England.

In 2011–12, Nazarova/Nikitin made no appearances on the JGP series but were sent to the Youth Olympics in January 2012 in Innsbruck, Austria. They won the silver medal behind Russia's Anna Yanovskaya / Sergey Mozgov. In 2012–13, the duo placed 5th in both of their JGP events and were assigned to their first World Junior Championships. At the latter competition, held in late February and early March 2013 in Milan, Italy, Nazarova/Nikitin placed 12th in the short dance, 9th in the free dance, and 11th overall. After the event, Churilova advised them to join Russian coach Alexander Zhulin.[4] They relocated to Moscow to train with Zhulin and Oleg Volkov.[3]

During the 2013–14 season, Nazarova/Nikitin won silver at both of their Junior Grand Prix assignments and qualified for the JGP Final. They placed fifth at the Final, held in December 2013 in Fukuoka, Japan. In March 2014, they finished fifth at the World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, having ranked seventh in the short dance and fourth in the free dance.

2014–15 season: Senior debut

Nazarova/Nikitin continued training in Moscow in the 2014–15 season.[6] At the Junior Grand Prix event in Courchevel, France, they ranked fifth in the short dance and third in the free dance. The duo finished fourth overall, 0.54 shy of third place. They won the bronze medal at their next JGP event, in Tallinn, Estonia, after placing sixth in the short and third in the free dance.

Making their senior international debut, Nazarova/Nikitin won the silver medal at the CS Warsaw Cup in November 2014. After winning the Ukrainian senior national title, they were named in Ukraine's team to the European Championships, held in late January 2015 in Stockholm, Sweden. Ranked 12th in the short dance and 11th in the free dance, the two finished 11th overall. In early March, Nazarova/Nikitin competed at the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. They were awarded the bronze medal after placing fifth in the short dance, second in the free dance, and third overall behind Anna Yanovskaya / Sergey Mozgov of Russia and Lorraine McNamara / Quinn Carpenter of the United States. It was Ukraine's first podium finish at the event since 2000.

2015–16 season

Making their Grand Prix debut, Nazarova/Nikitin finished 7th at the 2015 Skate America. They withdrew from the Ukrainian Championships due to Nazarova's knee injury.[7]
