Yulia Vyacheslavovna Lipnitskaya (also spelled Julia Lipnitskaia; {{langx|ru|Юлия Вячеславовна Липницкая}}, {{IPA|ru|ˈjulʲɪjə vʲɪtɕɪˈslavəvnə lʲɪpˈnʲitskəjə|IPA}}; born 5 June 1998) is a Russian retired competitive figure skater. She was part of the Russian team that won the 2014 Winter Olympics team trophy. Individually, Lipnitskaya is the 2014 World silver medalist, the 2014 European champion, the 2013–14 Grand Prix Final silver medalist, and a two-time Russian national silver medalist (2012 and 2014). As a junior, Lipnitskaya won the 2012 World Junior Championships, 2011–12 Junior Grand Prix Final, and 2012 Russian Junior Championships. She retired from the sport in 2017 due to injuries and anorexia nervosa.

Lipnitskaya is the youngest Russian athlete to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics. Within the women's singles category, she is the youngest gold medalist at the European Championships. She is also the second-youngest female figure skater to win a gold medal at the Olympics; Lipnitskaya was 15 years, 249 days old when Russia won the team trophy.

Early life

Yulia Vyacheslavovna Lipnitskaya was born on 5 June 1998, in Yekaterinburg, Russia. Daniela Leonidovna Lipnitskaya, a single mother, raised Yulia and gave her daughter her surname. While Daniela was pregnant, Vyacheslav, Yulia's father, was drafted into the Russian army and chose not to return to the family afterward.

Career

=Early career=

Lipnitskaya began figure skating at age four when her mother took her to train under coach Elena Levkovets.{{cite news |last1=Clarke |first1=Liz |title=Julia Lipnitskaia, Russian figure skating's 'tiny genius' |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/julia-lipnitskaia-russian-figure-skatings-tiny-genius/2014/02/18/171a8058-98dc-11e3-80ac-63a8ba7f7942_story.html |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=9 March 2024 |date=18 February 2014}} She also trained in rhythmic gymnastics to improve her flexibility.{{cite web |last1=Flade |first1=Tatjana |title=Girl Power!

They moved to Moscow where Lipnitskaya joined Eteri Tutberidze's group in March 2009.

In the 2009–10 season, Lipnitskaya placed fifth on the junior level at the 2010 Russian Championships.{{cite web |title=Rostelecom Russian National Juniors 2010 Junior Ladies Result |url=http://online.fsrussia.ru/Russian%20Junior%20National%202010/CAT015RS.HTM |website=Russian Figure Skating Federation |access-date=9 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225125125/http://online.fsrussia.ru/Russian%20Junior%20National%202010/CAT015RS.HTM |archive-date=25 December 2013 |url-status=dead |date=15 March 2010}} She was fourth on the senior level the following season at the 2011 Russian Championships.{{cite web |title=Чемпионат России 2011 Женщины |url=http://fsrussia.ru/upl/results/rusnat2011/CAT046RS.HTM |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111224131150/http://fsrussia.ru/upl/results/rusnat2011/CAT046RS.HTM |archive-date=24 December 2011 |language=ru |url-status=dead |trans-title=Russian Championships 2011 Women |website=Figure Skating Federation of Russia}} She also competed at the 2011 Russian Junior Championships but withdrew from the competition after the short program.{{cite web |title=Первенство России 2011 Девушки КМС |url=http://fsrussia.ru/upl/results/rusnatjun2011/CAT057RS.HTM |website=Figure Skating Federation of Russia |access-date=11 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120522005044/http://fsrussia.ru/upl/results/rusnatjun2011/CAT057RS.HTM |language=ru |url-status=dead |trans-title=Junior Russian Championships 2011 Girls KMC |archive-date=22 May 2012 |date=17 March 2011}}

Lipnitskaya became age-eligible for junior international competition in the 2011–12 season. She debuted on the Junior Grand Prix series at the Baltic Cup in Gdańsk, Poland, winning both programs to take the gold medal. She then won her second assignment in Milan, Italy, to qualify for the Junior Grand Prix Final.{{cite web |title=ISU JGP Trofeo W.

=2012–13 season: Senior debut=

Lipnitskaya became age-eligible for some senior events but not the World or European Championships. She made her senior debut at the 2012 Finlandia Trophy where she won the gold medal.{{cite web |last1=Pirkkalainen |first1=Jyrki |title=Russia wins ladies, dance on last day at Finlandia |url=http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121007&content_id=39562974&vkey=ice_news |website=Ice Network |access-date=12 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130123064412/http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121007&content_id=39562974&vkey=ice_news |archive-date=23 January 2013 |date=7 October 2012 |url-status=dead}} Lipnitskaya was assigned to two Grand Prix events. Having placed first in the short program and second in the free skate, Lipnitskaya won the silver medal at the 2012 Cup of China behind gold medalist Mao Asada. The day before she left for Paris for the 2012 Trophee Eric Bompard, Lipnitskaya twisted her right ankle during off-ice training and could hardly do any jumps a day before the start of the event, but decided to compete in the short program as she felt better. She placed first in the short program and third in the free skate and won the bronze medal.{{cite web |last1=Berlot |first1=Jean-Christophe |title=Wagner earns standing ovation in Paris triumph |url=http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121117&content_id=40340850&vkey=ice_news |website=Ice Network |access-date=12 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141101065438/http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121117&content_id=40340850&vkey=ice_news |archive-date=1 November 2014 |date=17 November 2012 |url-status=dead}}

Lipnitskaya qualified for the Grand Prix Final in Sochi, Russia, but withdrew due to injury. During training on 28 November, she lost balance on the entry to a spin, split her chin, and sustained a slight concussion. Doctors recommended that she stay off the ice for at least two weeks. She resumed partial training in mid-December, omitting jumps and spins, and then after eight days began full training. Needing more preparation time, Lipnitskaya withdrew from the senior Russian Championships. She returned to competition at the 2013 Russian Junior Championships and finished in fifth place. After the competition, Lipnitskaya said she was still working to return to form after her injury. She then competed at the 2013 World Junior Championships where she won the silver medal with teammates Elena Radionova and Anna Pogorilaya taking the gold and bronze medals respectively.{{cite web |title=Russian women, U.S. men sweep at junior worlds |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2013/03/02/russian-women-us-men-sweep-at-junior-worlds/1959491/ |website=USA Today |access-date=12 March 2024 |date=2 March 2013}}

Lipnitskaya selected all the music for her 2013–14 programs by herself. She chose Mark Minkov's You Don't Give Up On Love for her short program. For the free skate, she chose the theme from Schindler's List after she had watched the film many times. Initially, her coach was not convinced it was a good idea, and they struggled to find a choreographer for the program. Former ice dancer Ilia Averbukh choreographed both programs.

In the 2013–14 season, Lipnitskaya became age-eligible for all senior ISU events. She began her season by winning the gold medal at the 2013 Finlandia Trophy. Her first 2013–14 Grand Prix event was the 2013 Skate Canada International. She placed second in the short program and first in the free skate, winning gold with 198.23 points.{{cite web |title=ISU GP Skate Canada International 2013 Ladies Result |url=http://www.isuresults.com/results/gpcan2013/CAT002RS.HTM |website=International Skating Union |date=26 October 2013 |access-date=12 March 2024}} At the 2013 Rostelecom Cup, she scored 72.24 points in the short program to take the lead.{{cite web |last1=McCarvel |first1=Nicholas |title=Lipnitskaya, 15, skates to the lead at Russian Grand Prix |url=https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/lipnitskaya-15-skates-to-the-lead-at-russian-grand-prix |website=NBC Sports |access-date=12 March 2024 |date=22 November 2013}} Despite losing the free skate to Italy's Carolina Kostner, she still won the gold medal overall and qualified for the Grand Prix Final.{{cite web |title=Lipnitskaia far from happy despite Rostelecom Cup victory |url=https://www.eurosport.com/figure-skating/lipnitskaia-far-from-happy-despite-rostelecom-cup-victory_sto4018484/story.shtml |website=Eurosport |access-date=12 March 2024 |date=23 November 2013}} At the event in Fukuoka, Japan, she placed fourth in the short program, second in the free skate, and won the silver medal behind Mao Asada.{{cite web |title=Despite shaky performance, Mao collects fourth Grand Prix Final title |url=https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2013/12/08/figure-skating/despite-shaky-performance-mao-collects-fourth-grand-prix-final-title/ |website=The Japan Times |access-date=12 March 2024 |date=8 December 2013}}

Lipnitskaya was selected for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. The first skating event was the team trophy, which allowed each team to make a maximum of two substitutions. The Russian team initially discussed assigning Lipnitskaya to the free skate and Sotnikova to the short program, but ultimately, it was decided that Lipnitskaya would skate both. She placed first in both segments to help team Russia win the gold medal. She became the youngest Olympic gold medalist in figure skating under modern rules, being six days younger than American Tara Lipinski when she won the 1998 Winter Olympics at 15 in Nagano, Japan. The only skater younger than Lipnitskaya to have won gold is Maxi Herber who won Olympic pair skating gold at the 1936 Winter Olympics.{{Cite web|url=https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/photos/youngest-women-medal-olympic-figure-slideshow-wp-064700885/p-2014-sochi-olympics-15-photo-064700812.html|title = Youngest women to medal in Olympic figure skating|date=23 February 2018|website=Yahoo! Sports|access-date=9 March 2024}} However, Herber would have been too young to skate at the Olympics under modern rules, so her record is impossible to beat. On 10 February 2014, Lipnitskaya appeared on the cover of Time magazine in the European and Asian editions. After the team event, she left Sochi to train at her regular rink in Moscow. Her coach Tutberidze said that the Russian media interest was excessive—listening devices were found in the locker room in Moscow, and reporters followed both the skater and her relatives. In the individual event, she placed fifth in the short program after falling on her triple-flip, sixth in the free skate after a step out on her triple-loop and a fall on her triple-salchow, and finished fifth overall.

In March, Lipnitskaya received a letter from Steven Spielberg, the director of Schindler's List, praising her portrayal of the girl in the red coat.{{cite web |title=Юлия Липницкая получила письмо от Стивена Спилберга |trans-title=Yulia Lipnitskaya received a letter from Steven Spielberg |url=http://www.eurosport.ru/figure-skating/world-championships/2013-2014/story_sto4173569.shtml |website=Eurosport |access-date=14 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140315191421/http://www.eurosport.ru/figure-skating/world-championships/2013-2014/story_sto4173569.shtml |archive-date=15 March 2014 |language=ru |date=14 March 2014 |url-status=dead}} A few weeks later, she made her World Championship debut at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama, Japan. She placed third in the short program and second in the free skate earning 132.96 points, and won the silver medal. Her total score of 207.50 points placed her 9.19 points behind the gold medalist Mao Asada and 3.67 ahead of the bronze medalist Carolina Kostner.{{cite web |title=ISU World Championships 2014 Ladies Results |url=http://www.isuresults.com/results/wc2014/CAT002RS.HTM |website=International Skating Union |access-date=12 March 2024 |date=29 March 2014}}{{cite web |title=Asada Takes World Title for 3rd Time |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/30/sports/asada-takes-world-title-for-3rd-time.html |website=The New York Times |access-date=12 March 2024 |date=29 March 2014}}

For the 2014–15 Grand Prix season, Lipnitskaya was selected to compete at the 2014 Cup of China and the 2014 Trophée Éric Bompard. At the Cup of China, Lipnitskaya was first after the short program. However, she was fourth in her free skate, putting her second overall behind Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. Lipnitskaya missed the medal ceremony because she left the rink to go to her hotel due to the stress of having a poor free skate, and she was unaware of the time of the ceremony. She had received a call from the event organizers, informing her of the ceremony and hurried back to the rink, but it had been too late to attend.{{cite web |last1=Zaccardi |first1=Nick |title=Yulia Lipnitskaya under 'constant stress' since Sochi gold |url=https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/julia-lipnitskaia-figure-skating-olympics-pressure |website=NBC Sports |access-date=13 March 2024 |date=11 November 2014}} The International Skating Union fined her by deducting part of her prize money.

On 13 January 2015, after a meeting with FFKKR officials, Lipnitskaya stated that this season was over for her and that she would recover and train for the next season. She also said that she intended to stay with her then-coaches.
