Personal life

Tuktamysheva's mother teaches algebra and geometry and has been the class teacher of her daughter from the 5th to 9th grade.[3][8] Her father was a former skier who later coached soccer.[3] He died in April 2011.[9] She has a sister, Evgenia, who is seven years younger and has also taken up skating.[3] Tuktamysheva started skating at the age of four, after meeting girls interested in the sport at a summer camp.[3][10]

Career

Early career

Tuktamysheva with her coaches, Svetlana Veretennikova and Alexei Mishin

Coached by Svetlana Veretennikova, Tuktamysheva appeared at competitions in Belgorod where she was noticed by Alexei Mishin.[3][11] Initially, he thought her technique was too incomplete and did not invite her into his group.[3] A year later he saw her again and changed his mind due to her ability to jump high,[3] but she had to rework the technique on all her jumps.[8] Tuktamysheva's family could not afford to move to a big city, so she remained in her home town Glazov where she continued to train under Veretennikova, and regularly visited Mishin in Saint Petersburg, where she lived in a dormitory.[12][13] The train trip from Glazov to Saint Petersburg took 27 hours.[3] Until the summer of 2011, she would spend between one to two weeks there on average and the rest of the month in Glazov.[3][14][15]

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,[16] but she has never attempted the triple axel in competition. In 2008, she placed 10th at the Russian Championships.[17] Mishin was criticized for making Tuktamysheva participate in the senior Russian Championships (2008) at only 12 years old.[18]

In 2009, Tuktamysheva won the silver medal at the Russian Championships, after placing 4th in the short program and first in the free skating.[19] She placed 2nd with a margin of 0.67 points behind champion Adelina Sotnikova, who is half a year older than Tuktamysheva.[20][21] Mishin said his student was Russia's "main hope for the gold medal at the Sochi Olympics".[12] 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.[22] Her technical marks were higher than even those of male competitors, except Evgeni Plushenko.[23] In March, she skated in the Kings on Ice ice show.[24] During the summer, she took part in training camps in Estonia, Italy and Germany in preparation for the new season.[3]

2010–2011 season

In the 2010–2011 season, Tuktamysheva was old enough to compete in ISU Junior competitions. She won her Junior Grand Prix events in Germany and Romania and qualified for the Junior Grand Prix Final.[25] At the Final, she placed second in both programs to win silver behind Adelina Sotnikova.[26] At the 2011 Russian Championships, she placed 7th in the short program and 3rd in the long, to win the bronze medal.[27] 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.[28][29]

Following her father's death, Tuktamysheva's family settled in Saint Petersburg in August 2011,[1][15] with Mishin assisting her mother in locating work at a school.[9] In preparation for the new season, Tuktamysheva took part in Mishin's training camps in Jaca (Spain), Tartu (Estonia), and Pinzolo (Italy).[1][30]

2011–2012 season

According to ISU age rules, Tuktamysheva was eligible for the senior Grand Prix circuit during the 2011–2012 season, although not for senior ISU Championships. She was assigned to two Grand Prix events, the 2011 Skate Canada and 2011 Trophee Eric Bompard. Tuktamysheva replaced the injured Sarah Meier at the Japan Open in October and won the event.[31][32] Tuktamysheva debuted on the senior Grand Prix circuit at Skate Canada,[33] where she won the gold medal with a combined personal best score of 177.38 points, becoming the youngest champion in the event since Tracey Wainman in 1981.[34] She dedicated the win to her late father.[9] Tuktamysheva then won gold at 2011 Trophée Eric Bompard to qualify for her first senior Grand Prix Final. She is the first ladies' skater to win her senior debut event and to win both events in her senior Grand Prix debut.[35] At the Grand Prix Final, she finished fourth with a combined total of 174.51 points.

At the 2012 Russian Championships, Tuktamysheva was seventh in the short program and fourth in the free skate and finished 6th overall. She then competed at the 2012 Youth Olympic Games and won the gold medal. Tuktamysheva withdrew from the 2012 World Junior Championships in order to prepare for the following season, including working on the triple axel.[36]

2012–2013 season

In the summer before the 2012–2013 season, Tuktamysheva sustained a knee injury.[37] She was assigned to 2012 Skate Canada and the 2012 Trophee Eric Bompard,[38] entering both events as the defending champion. In October, Mishin said that her participation at Skate Canada was uncertain due to injury and growth issues.[39] Tuktamysheva did compete in Skate Canada, placing sixth in the short program and third in the free skate. She finished 4th overall with a total score of 168.00, just 0.04 less than bronze medalist Kanako Murakami. At the 2012 Trophee Eric Bompard, Tuktamysheva was third in the short program and second in the free skate. She obtained a personal best free skating score, 121.36 points, and won the silver medal ahead of teammate Julia Lipnitskaia.[37] Tuktamysheva qualified for the Grand Prix Final in Sochi, Russia, where she was 5th in the short program and 2nd in the long, finishing 5th overall.[40] At the 2013 Russian Championships, also held in Sochi, she placed first in the short program[41] but fell ill with a cold before the free skate. Mishin initially indicated that she would withdraw but later she and her team decided she would compete. Tuktamysheva said, "I might find myself in an even worse situation in the future. I have to know how to handle it, so we decided to skate."[42] She finished first in the free skate and won her first senior national title.[42]

At the 2013 European Championships, Tuktamysheva placed fourth in the short program, first in the long program, and won the bronze medal overall. She and silver medalist Adelina Sotnikova were Russia's first medalists in the Europeans ladies' event since Irina Slutskaya won the title in 2006. At the 2013 World Championships, Tuktamysheva was 14th in the short program after falling from a sit spin and singling her double axel. She placed 8th in the long program and finished 10th overall in her Worlds debut. At the 2013 World Team Trophy in Tokyo, Tuktamysheva finished 10th individually while Team Russia was 4th overall.

2013–2014 season

Tuktamysheva started her season at the 2013 Finlandia Trophy, she placed sixth in the short and second in the free winning the bronze medal overall behind Akiko Suzuki and Julia Lipnitskaia. She then competed at the 2013 Skate America placed 9th in short but moved to 3rd in free and finished 4th overall with 176.75 points. Tuktamysheva sustained a back injury nevertheless she did not withdrew from her next event, she finished 4th at the 2013 Cup of Russia behind Mirai Nagasu. Tuktamysheva won the bronze medal at the 2013 Golden Spin of Zagreb behind Miki Ando.
