Personal life

Anastasia Ilinichna Skoptsova was born on 8 November 2000 in Moscow, Russia.[1][2]

Early career

Skoptsova made her international debut in autumn 2010 competing with Nikita Nazarov on the advanced novice level at the Tirnavia Ice Cup and NRW Trophy. The two placed 13th at the 2012 Russian Junior Championships.[3] They were coached by Denis Samokhin in Moscow.

Partnership with Aleshin

Skoptsova began competing with Kirill Aleshin in October 2013.[3] They qualified for the 2015 Russian Junior Championships and finished 9th, having ranked 9th in the short and 7th in the free dance.

Skoptsova/Aleshin's first Junior Grand Prix (JGP) assignments came in the 2015–16 season. They won the bronze medal at the JGP in Toruń, Poland, after placing third in both segments behind Lorraine McNamara / Quinn Carpenter and Christina Carreira / Anthony Ponomarenko. At the JGP in Zagreb, Croatia, Skoptsova/Aleshin placed second in both segments and won the silver medal, scoring 12 points less than Rachel Parsons / Michael Parsons (gold) and almost five points more than Sofia Shevchenko / Igor Eremenko (bronze). Ranked 6th in the JGP standings, they took the final spot at the 2015–16 JGP Final in Barcelona,[4] where they finished sixth. Fifth at the 2016 Russian Junior Championships (7th in the short dance, 4th in the free), the two were named in Russia's team to the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics in Hamar. Ranked second in the short dance and third in the free, they were awarded the bronze medal in the ice dancing event in Norway.[5] They won gold in the mixed NOC team event.[6]
