Deci, ladies and gentlemen: Liza Tuktamysheva
Elizaveta Sergeyevna "Liza" Tuktamysheva (Russian: Елизавета Сергеевна Туктамышева; born December 17, 1996 in Glazov, Udmurtia, Russian Federation) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2011 World Junior silver medalist, 2010 Junior Grand Prix Final silver medalist, three-time senior Russian Nationals medalist and 2011 Russian Junior champion.
Tuktamysheva's mother teaches algebra and geometry and has been the class teacher of her daughter from the 5th to 9th grade.[1][4] Her father is a former skier who now coaches soccer. She has a sister, Evgenia, who is seven years younger and has also taken up skating. Tuktamysheva started skating at the age of four-and-a-half, after meeting girls interested in the sport at a summer camp.
Career
Early career
Coached by Svetlana Veretennikova, Tuktamysheva appeared at competitions in Belgorod where she was noticed by Alexei Mishin. Initially, he thought her technique was too incomplete and did not invite her into his group. A year later he saw her again and changed his mind due to her ability to jump high,but she had to rework the technique on all her jumps.Tuktamysheva's family could not afford to move to a big city, so she remained in her home town Glazov where she continues to train under Veretennikova, and visits Mishin in Saint Petersburg every one or two weeks, where she lives in a dormitory. The train trip from Glazov to Saint Petersburg takes 27 hours.She spends one to one-and-a-half weeks each month training with Mishin.
Tuktamysheva was called a figure skating prodigy by Russian media, because at the age of 12 she performed difficult jumps, such as the triple axel in practice,but she has never attempted the triple axel in competition. In 2008, she placed 10th at the Russian Championships.[10] Mishin was criticized for making Tuktamysheva participate in the senior Russian Championships (2008) at only 12 years old.
In 2009, Tuktamysheva won the silver medal at the Russian Championships, after placing 4th in the short program and first in the free skating.She placed 2nd with a margin of 0.67 points behind champion Adelina Sotnikova, who is half a year older than Tuktamysheva. Mishin said his student was Russia's "main hope for the gold medal at the Sochi Olympics". Despite her medal, she was not sent to any ISU Championships, including Junior Worlds, because she was not old enough according to ISU rules.
At the 2010 Russian Championships, Tuktamysheva was 10th after the short program but earned 124.57 points in the free skate and was able to win a bronze medal. Her technical marks were higher than even those of male competitors, except Evgeni Plushenko. In March, she skated in the Kings on Ice ice show. During the summer, she took part in training camps in Estonia, Italy and Germany in preparation for the new season.
In the 2010–2011 season, Tuktamysheva was old enought to compete in ISU Junior competition. She won her Junior Grand Prix events in Germany and Romania and qualified for the Junior Grand Prix Final.[18] At the Final, she placed second in both programs to win silver behind Adelina Sotnikova. At the 2011 Russian Championships, she placed 7th in the short program and 3rd in the long, to win the bronze medal. She won the Russian Junior Championships by placing first in both programs. At the 2011 Junior Worlds, she won the silver medal behind teammate Adelina Sotnikova.
According to ISU age rules, Tuktamysheva is barred from the senior World or European Championships until 2013 but may debut on the senior Grand Prix circuit during the 2011–2012 season. She decided to take up this option and was assigned to 2011 Skate Canada and 2011 Trophee Eric Bompard. She won the ladies event at the Japan Open in October.
