COMPARING 3 YOG ATHLETES
By Riley B.
ELIZAVETA TUKTAMISHEVA
ELIZAVETA TUKTAMISHEVA
Elizaveta started skating at the age of 4; she was born on
December 17th 1996, Elizaveta was born in Glazov, Russia.
Elizaveta is coached by Svetlana Veretennikova where she
appeared at competitions in Belgorod, in Belgorod Alexei Mishin
saw Elizaveta skate and thought that her technique was
incomplete and declined her to join his group. Sometime later he
saw her again and reassessed her abilities, allowing her to join
the team, because of her ability to “jump high". In 2009 Elizaveta
got a silver medal at the Russian Championships, she also placed
4th in her short program and 1st in her free skating.
ADELINA SOTNIKOVA
ADELINA SOTNIKOVA
Adelina Sotnikova started skating at the age of 4 at Yuzhny
skating rink near her home in Moscow, Russia. At the age of 8 she
was coached and still is by Elena Buianova (Yodorezova). In 2009
Adelina competed at the Russian Championships and got 1st at
the age of 12. The club that she skates with is named CSKA
Moscow. Apparently according to the ISU age rules Adelina isn’t
allowed to skate at the senior world or European championships
until 2013. This year she won 3rd at the 2012 Cup of China due to
her leg injury. Just recently she won 2nd in the Youth Olympic

December 14, 1996 in China. Her coach is Meng Di. She skates at the
Jilin winter sports center in China. At the Junior Grand Prix Final Risa
Shoji and her both got 3rd place, Zijun won against Risa in the tie
breaker round winning 3rd instead of 4th and Risa went home with 4th
place. Zijun brought home 2 silver medals at the Junior Grand Prix
which made her qualified for the Junior grand prix final held in Quebec

Olympic Games where she placed 3rd behind Adelina Sotnikova and
