Competitive skating career

= Early career =

Shcherbakova began skating at age three in 2007 with her first coach Oksana Bulycheva at the Khrustalnyi rink of the Olympic Reserve Sports School No. 37 (later absorbed into the "Sambo 70" sports school) in Moscow.{{cite web |last1=Ryabikova |first1=Victoria |title=Meet the Russian figure skaters of the 2022 Winter Olympics |url=https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/334571-meet-russian-figure-skaters-of-2022-winter-olympics |website=Russia Beyond |date=28 December 2021 |access-date=24 January 2023}} Bulycheva would later describe Shcherbakova as a highly motivated skater who was advanced for her age.{{cite web | last=Ivnova | first= Svetlana | title=Первый тренер олимпийской чемпионки Щербаковой раскрыла секрет успеха фигуристки |trans-title= The first coach of the Olympic champion Shcherbakova revealed the secret of the skater's success| website= TV channel "Zvezda"| date=2022-02-18 | url=https://tvzvezda.ru/news/2022218114-ldA1O.html | language=ru | access-date=2023-09-16}} She parted ways with Bulycheva in November 2013 at age nine and began training in the elite group at the same rink, led by Eteri Tutberidze and Sergei Dudakov. In a 2020 interview, Shcherbakova shared that after joining Tutberidze's group, she stopped viewing skating as just a hobby and took her training more seriously.{{cite web |first=Ina |last=Preston | title=Эксклюзив ELLE: фигуристка Анна Щербакова | trans-title=Elle Exclusive: figure skater Anna Shcherbakova| website=Elle | date=2020-03-26 | url=https://www.elle.ru/celebrities/interview/eksklyuziv-elle-figuristka-anna-sherbakova-id6862082/?preview_token=bffae89c24aba04959c577b469e0eb4c | language=ru | access-date=2023-09-15}} In mid-July 2017, when she was 13, Shcherbakova broke her leg while performing a triple loop at a training camp. As a result of the accident she missed most of the 2017–18 season, including her planned Junior Grand Prix debut. She did recover enough to compete at the 2018 Russian Figure Skating Championships where she finished 13th at the Junior level and 5th at the 2018 Russian Youth Championships – Elder Age level. This injury would continue to affect her knees throughout the course of her career.{{cite web | last=Спорт | first=РИА Новости | title=Сломавшая ногу фигуристка Щербакова должна выйти на лед через 2 недели – Глейхенгауз |trans-title= Broken leg figure skater Shcherbakova should go on the ice in 2 weeks – Gleikhengauz| website=РИА Новости Спорт | date=2017-08-17 | url=https://rsport.ria.ru/20170817/1124385668.html | language=ru | access-date=2023-09-15}}

At the 2018 JGP Slovakia, she placed first in both the short program and free skate, winning the gold medal by a margin of over 18 points over the silver medalist and fellow Russian competitor Anna Tarusina. At the time, her scores at the competition were the highest achieved in an international women's competition under the new +5/-5 GOE System.{{efn|name="GOE change"}} Her short program and combined total records were surpassed later in the Junior Grand Prix season by Alexandra Trusova, and the free program record was surpassed by Alena Kostornaia.

At the 2018 JGP Canada, Shcherbakova once again placed first in both the short program and free skate and won the gold medal by a margin of five points over the silver medalist, Anastasia Tarakanova.

Shcherbakova began her Olympic season in October at the 2021 Budapest Trophy.

She placed second in the free skate to finish narrowly behind Khromykh and take the silver medal overall.{{cite web |title=2nd Budapest Trophy 2021 Senior women Result |url=http://hunskate.hu/external/mukorcsolya/2021_2022/BT2021/CAT014RS.HTM |website=Hungarian Figure Skating Association |access-date=26 January 2023 |date=17 October 2021}}{{cite web |title=Майя Хромых выиграла турнир в Будапеште, Анна Щербакова завоевала серебро, Софья Самодурова – бронзу |trans-title=Maiia Khromykh won the tournament in Budapest, Anna Shcherbakova won silver, Sofia Samodurova won bronze |url=https://www.fsrussia.ru/news/novosti/majya-khromykh-vyigrala-turnir-v-budapeshte-anna-shcherbakova-zavoevala-serebro-sof-ya-samodurova-bronzu |website=Figure Skating Federation of Russia |access-date=29 January 2023 |language=ru |date=17 October 2021}} Her first Grand Prix assignment was initially the 2021 Cup of China, but following its cancellation, she was reassigned to the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia in Turin.

Shcherbakova went on to win her second event, the 2021 Internationaux de France, defeating Alena Kostornaia by almost eight points. These results qualified her for the Grand Prix Final, which was subsequently canceled due to restrictions prompted by the spread of the Omicron variant.

Skating technique

Shcherbakova's skating has been distinguished by her high consistency in the performance of her programs. Her performances and technique are also highlighted by her ability to consistently land the quad Lutz and quad flip. Her quad jumping ability is often compared to those of her teammates Kamila Valieva and Alexandra Trusova. Because she performs fewer quad jumps than Valieva and Trusova, Shcherbakova relies on her consistency and artistry.{{cite web |last1=Skretta |first1=David |title=Shcherbakova wins figure skating gold as Valieva collapses |url=https://apnews.com/article/winter-olympics-free-skate-kamila-valieva-30a6781dfb1080acf9f6633ca77c40a2 |website=Associated Press |access-date=26 January 2023 |date=17 February 2022}} She is known for her musicality and dramatic performances.{{cite news |last1=Bonesteel |first1=Matt |last2=Samuels |first2=Robert |title=Who is Anna Shcherbakova?

Alongside teammate Trusova, Shcherbakova is credited for ushering in the era of quad jumps in competitive women's figure skating, especially domestically. Prior to Shcherbakova's senior domestic debut, not a single quad jump was landed by any of the woman skaters at the Russian Figure Skating Championships. Since then, quad jumps have become a prominent feature in Russian women's single skating.{{Cite news |last1=Macur |first1=Juliet |last2=Cai |first2=Weiyi |last3=Parshina-Kottas |first3=Yuliya |last4=Ward |first4=Joe |date=2022-02-16 |title=How the Quad Jump Is Changing Women's Figure Skating |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/02/16/sports/olympics/quad-jumps-figure-skating.html |access-date=2023-04-03 |issn=0362-4331}}{{cite web | last=Meyers | first=Dvora | title=How Quad Jumps Have Changed Women's Figure Skating | website=FiveThirtyEight | date=2022-02-03 | url=https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-quad-jump-revolution-has-transformed-womens-figure-skating-how-far-will-it-go/ | access-date=2023-11-03}}{{cite magazine | last=Park | first=Alice | title=Quadruple Jumps Are Transforming Women's Figure Skating.
