Anastasia Tarakanova Biography

Tarakanova was born on 14 April 2004 in Volgograd, Russia. Her father is a swimmer and her mother is also an athlete. Due to her allergies, she was advised by a doctor to skate or swim. She tried both sports and won her first swimming competition as the youngest competitor, receiving her trophy from three-time Olympic gold medalist Yevgeny Sadovyi. She eventually chose to focus on skating, considering it beautiful and enjoying the support of the audience. She also enjoys painting for leisure.

Anastasia Anatolyevna Tarakanova (Russian: Анастасия Анатольевна Тараканова ; born 14 April 2004) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2017 JGP Austria and 2018 JGP Slovenia champion, and the 2017–18 JGP Final bronze medalist. She has won seven medals on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series.

Tarakanova started her season off at the JGP United States where she finished in 3rd place and won the bronze medal. She placed fourth in the short program after falling on her triple lutz and failing to complete a jump combination. After a clean free skate performance, she rose to third place behind Alysa Liu of the United States and Park Yeon-jeong of South Korea, edging out Ji Seo-yeon of South Korea by only 0.06 points. Tarakanova’s coach Svetlana Panova and training mate Ksenia Sinitsyna, who had intended to travel and compete alongside her in the United States, were unable to attend due to visa issues.

Tarakanova began learning to skate in December 2007. She learned her basics with Lyudmila Puchkova and a year before leaving Volgograd, she went to train with Irina Aksenova.

In 2011, Tarakanova moved to Moscow due to her father’s work. Her first coach in Moscow was Irina Klimova, who was a student of the famous Stanislav Zhuk. She then switched to coach Maria Butyrskaya, World Figure Skating Champion. Later, she moved from Krylatskoye to Novokosino and Snow Leopards was a nearby rink and she went to train under Svetlana Panova.

Tarakanova’s international debut came in early September 2017 at a 2017–18 ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) competition in Salzburg, Austria; ranked first in both segments, she won the gold medal ahead of Lim Eun-soo. Her total score at the event, 196.68 points, was the fifth highest ever achieved by a ladies’ single skater on the junior level. She placed third at her second JGP assignment, in Zagreb, Croatia. With these results she qualified for the 2017–18 JGP Final in Nagoya, Japan. At the JGP Final she won the bronze medal with a personal best score of 199.64 points after placing 3rd in the short program and 3rd in the free skate. At this competition she placed behind her teammates and training partners Alexandra Trusova (gold) and Alena Kostornaia (silver).

At her second JGP event of the season she won the gold medal in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Later, at the 2019 Russian Junior Championships, she placed third in the short program but seventh overall after falling in her free skate.
