Ksenia Vasilyevna Krasilnikova (Russian: Ксения Васильевна Красильникова, born 18 June 1991) is a Russian former pair skater. With Konstantin Bezmaternikh, she is the 2008 World Junior champion.^[1]

Career

Krasilnikova teamed up with Konstantin Bezmaternikh in 2003.^[2] The pair was coached by Valeri Tiukov and Valentina Tiukova in poor conditions in Perm.^[3] Although they placed second on the day, they were later awarded the 2007-2008 Junior Grand Prix Final title following the retroactive disqualification of Vera Bazarova / Yuri Larionov due to a positive doping sample from Larionov.

Krasilnikova / Bezmaternikh withdrew from the 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy after the short program – he injured ligaments in his right hand.^[2] Krasilnikova decided to retire from competitive skating after the 2009–2010 season due to a persistent back injury.
