Lara Naki Gutmann (born 6 November 2002) is an Italian figure skater. She is a three-time ISU Challenger Series medalist (one silver, two bronze), the 2020 Nordics champion, the 2019 Dragon Trophy silver medalist, the 2018 Bosphorus Cup silver medalist, and a three-time Italian national champion (2021–2023). She has reached the final segment at three ISU Championships, with a top-ten result at the 2023 European Championships.

Career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Gutmann began learning to skate in 2006.[1] She won her first junior national medal, bronze, in December 2015 and had the same result the following year.

Her ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut came in October 2017. In December 2017, she became the Italian junior national silver medalist.

2018–2019 season

[edit]

Gutmann placed nineteenth at her sole JGP assignment in Austria. In December 2018, making her first senior international appearance, she won silver at the Bosphorus Cup in Turkey. Later that month, she won bronze in the senior ladies' category at the Italian Championships, behind Alessia Tornaghi and Lucrezia Beccari, and was named in Italy's team to the 2019 European Championships. Ranked twenty-ninth in the short program, she did not advance to the final segment at the latter event, which took place in January in Minsk, Belarus.

2019–2020 season

[edit]

Gutmann competed mainly in the senior ranks, with the exception of two JGP events. She finished sixth at JGP France and seventh at JGP Italy. In December, she repeated as national bronze medalist, this time finishing third behind Tornaghi and Marina Piredda. In February, she won silver behind Roberta Rodeghiero at the Dragon Trophy in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and then outscored Emmi Peltonen to take gold at the Nordic Championships in Stavanger, Norway.

2020–2021 season

[edit]

In the off-season, Gutmann underwent ankle surgery.[2] She was scheduled to make her Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Internationaux de France, but the event was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] In December, she won the gold medal at the Italian championships.[2]

As the Italian national champion, Gutmann was named as the country's sole entry to the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm, where she finished twenty-eighth.[4] Subsequently, she was announced as part of the Italian team for the 2021 World Team Trophy.[5] Gutmann placed seventh in both segments of the competition and set personal bests in the free skate and total score, while Team Italy finished in fourth place.[6][7][8]

2021–2022 season

[edit]

Gutmann began the season on home soil at the 2021 CS Lombardia Trophy. After a poor short program left her in eighteenth position going into the free skate, she placed third in that segment and rose to fifth overall.[9] She next competed at the 2021 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, seeking to qualify for a berth for Italian women at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Seventh in both segments of the competition, she placed eighth overall, 0.75 points behind Australia's Kailani Craine, who took the sixth of six available places. As a result, Italy became the first alternate country.[10]

Following the cancellation of the 2021 Cup of China, Italy unexpectedly became the host of the third event in the Grand Prix, the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia.[11] Gutmann was one of two Italian women assigned to compete at the home Grand Prix (along with Lucrezia Beccari), making her Grand Prix debut with an eleventh-place finish.[12]

At the Italian Championships, Gutmann won her second straight national title. She was after that named to the Italian Olympic team, though she would only be competing in the team event.[13] She began the new year at the 2022 European Championships, finishing sixteenth.[14] Representing Italy in the team event, Gutmann skated cleanly in the short program, but did not attempt a triple-triple jump combination and finished ninth of ten skaters. The Italian team finished seventh among the teams in the short program segments and did not advance to the second phase.[15] Gutmann finished the season with a twentieth place at the 2022 World Championships.[14]

2022–2023 season

[edit]

In three appearances on the Challenger circuit in the fall, Gutmann finished sixth on home ice at the 2022 CS Lombardia Trophy before winning the silver medal at the 2022 CS Nepela Memorial. She finished the series with a fourth-place at the 2022 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, and then won her third straight national title.[14]

Assigned to compete at the 2023 European Championships, Gutmann was thirteenth in the short program, but an eighth-place free skate lifted her to eighth overall. This achieved her primary goal of finishing in the top ten and earning a second berth for Italy the following year.[16] Gutmann finished seventeenth at the 2023 World Championships.[14]

Gutmann joined Team Italy for the 2023 World Team Trophy. She finished last in the short program with multiple errors.[17] The free skate was an improvement, coming eighth in the segment.[18] Team Italy finished in fourth place overall.[19]

2023–2024 season

[edit]

While she had previously appeared on the Grand Prix as a host selection, for the 2023–24 Grand Prix Gutmann received her first foreign assignment, the 2023 Skate Canada International. She said it was "very nice to have earned a spot."[20] She began the season by finishing fifth at the 2023 CS Lombardia Trophy.[14] At her second Challenger appearance of the season, she was seventh at the 2023 CS Nepela Memorial.[21] She finished in ninth place at the Skate Canada International.[22] Gutmann was subsequently added to the 2023 Grand Prix of Espoo to replace Kimmy Repond, and placed seventh.[23]

After an eighth-place finish at the 2023 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, Gutmann won the silver medal at the Italian Championships.[14] She then finished tenth at the 2024 European Championships in Kaunas, Lithuania.[24]

2024–2025 season

[edit]

Gutmann began the season by competing on the 2024–25 ISU Challenger Series finishing a disappointing tenth place at the 2024 CS Lombardia Trophy. She would have stronger showings at the 2024 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge and the 2024 CS Nepela Memorial, where she won bronze at both events. Going on to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix series, Gutmann would finish sixth at the 2024 NHK Trophy.[14] Initially only assigned one Grand Prix event, Gutmann's name was assigned to the 2024 Finlandia Trophy following the withdrawal of Loena Hendrickx.[25][26]
