Anna Sergeyevna Tarusina (Russian: Анна Сергеевна Тарусина; born 24 January 2003) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2018 CS Alpen Trophy champion. On the junior level, she is the 2018 JGP Slovakia and 2018 JGP Slovenia silver medalist.
Career
Early career
Tarusina began learning to skate in 2008. Until 2013 she trained in Odintsovo under former coach Sergey Chemodanov.
Tarusina finished 12th at the 2015 Russian Junior Championships and 7th at the 2016 Russian Junior Championships.
Tarusina was supposed to make her ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating debut in August of 2016 at the 2016 JGP St. Gervais, alongside Russian teammate Alina Zagitova. However, she and her coach Sergei Davydov, along with other athletes, were in a car accident on the shuttle bus en route to the rink where the competition was taking place.[1] Tarusina sustained a knee injury requiring surgery and was forced to withdraw from the competition.[2] She missed most of the 2016–17 season because of the accident but placed 10th at the 2017 Russian Junior Championships.[3]
Tarusina finished 12th at the 2018 Russian Championships, which was her first senior national championships.
2018–19 season
Tarusina made her Junior Grand Prix debut in August of 2018 at the first JGP competition of the season in Bratislava, Slovakia. Tarusina placed second behind teammate Anna Shcherbakova and ahead of South Korean competitor You Young with a score of 186.68 points.
At her second assignment, JGP Slovenia, Tarusina placed second in both the short program and the free skate to claim the silver medal behind Russian teammate Anastasia Tarakanova and ahead of South Korean competitor Lee Hae-in. Tarusina set a new ISU personal best in her free skate, earning 122.50 points. Both Tarusina and her teammate Alena Kanysheva won two silver medals during JGP season but since Kanysheva accumulated more combined total points from her two JGP events than Tarusina did, Kanysheva qualified to the 2018–19 Junior Grand Prix Final but Tarusina did not. Kanysheva accumulated only about 4 points more than Tarusina.[4] Tarusina is the first alternate for the event.
In mid-November, Tarusina made her international senior debut at the 2018 CS Alpen Trophy, a Challenger Series competition held in Innsbruck, Austria. At the Alpen Trophy she was ranked first in both the short program and the free skate and won the gold medal by a margin of about 24 points over the silver medalist, her teammate Serafima Sakhanovich. At this event Tarusina also scored her personal best score of 198.76 points.
