Julia Viacheslavovna Lipnitskaia (Russian: Юлия Вячеславовна Липницкая;[4] schol. Julia Vjačeslavovna Lipnickaja, also romanized as Yulia Lipnitskaya; born June 5, 1998 in Yekaterinburg) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2012 World Junior Champion, 2011–12 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, 2012 Russian senior silver medalist and the 2012 Russian junior champion. She holds the record for the combined total and free skate scores on the ladies junior level.

Career

Lipnitskaia began skating at age four.[5][6] She also trained in rhythmic gymnastics, enhancing her flexibility.[7] Lipnitskaia skated in Yekaterinburg until 2009 when she and her mother discussed her future, concluding they should either relocate for her skating career or leave the sport.[8] They moved to Moscow where Lipnitskaia joined Eteri Tutberidze's group in March 2009.[5][8] In the 2009–2010 season, she placed 5th on the junior level at the 2010 Russian Championships. She was 4th on the senior level the following season at the 2011 Russian Championships. She also competed at the national 2011 Russian Junior Championships but withdrew from the competition after the short program.

2011–2012 season

Lipnitskaia became age-eligible for junior international competition in the 2011–2012 season. She debuted on the Junior Grand Prix series at the JGP Baltic Cup in Gdansk, Poland, winning both programs to take the gold medal.[9] She then won her second assignment in Milan, Italy, to qualify for the JGP Final. At the JGP Final in Quebec, Lipnitskaia placed first in both segments to win the gold medal.

At the 2012 Russian Championships, Lipnitskaia was third in the short program and first in the free skate and won the silver medal overall. She then competed and won the gold medal at the 2012 Russian Junior Championships. She then went on to win the 2012 Junior World Championships with a new personal best score and was given a loud standing ovation by the crowd in the stadium. With the personal record of 187.05 points, Lipnitskaia holds the ladies' World Junior record for the highest combined total and the free skate scores, having broken the combined score record twice in the 2011–2012 season. After the event, she commented on her performance and said: "I liked everything and the performance was ideal. Now I am in a great mood. It was a great ending for a great season".[10] She had no falls on the ice in all her competitions throughout the entire 2011–2012 season.[11]

2012–2013 season: Senior debut

Lipnitskaia 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. Lipnitskaia was assigned to two Grand Prix events. She had some boot problems early in the season.[12] Having placed first in the short program and second in the free skate, Lipnitskaia won the silver medal at the 2012 Cup of China behind gold medalist Mao Asada.[13][14] She said she was more nervous than usual.[12] The day before she left for Paris for the 2012 Trophee Eric Bompard, Lipnitskaia 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.[15][16] She placed first in the short program and third in the free skate and won the bronze medal behind teammate Elizaveta Tuktamysheva.

Lipnitskaia qualified for the Grand Prix Final in Sochi, Russia, but withdrew due to injury – during training on November 28, she lost balance on the entry to a spin, split her chin and sustained a slight concussion.[17] Doctors recommended that she stay off the ice for at least two weeks.[17] She resumed partial training in mid-December, omitting jumps and spins, and then after eight days began full training.[18] Needing more preparation time, Lipnitskaia withdrew from the senior Russian Championships.[19] She returned to competition at the 2013 Russian Junior Championships and finished in 5th place. After the competition, Lipnitskaia said she was still working to return to form after her injury and puberty issues.[20] 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.

Personal life

Lipnitskaia is home-schooled.[5]
