Personal life

Elizaveta Tamerlanovna Shanaeva was born on 30 May 2003 in Alania, Russia.[1]

Career

Early years

Shanaeva began learning to skate in 2005.[1] She skated with Sergei Semko before teaming up with Devid Naryzhnyy during the 2016–2017 season.[2] They are coached by Irina Zhuk and Alexander Svinin.

Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy placed first at the 2017 Moscow Championship.[2]

2018–2019 season

Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy received their first ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) assignments in the 2018–2019 season. They won silver medals at 2018 JGP event in Bratislava, Slovakia and placed 4th at 2018 JGP event in Yerevan, Armenia.

In November 2018, they won the junior gold medal at the 2018 Grand Prix of Bratislava. They placed fourth at the 2019 Russian Junior Championships.

2019–2020 season

Returning to the Junior Grand Prix, Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy won their first JGP gold medal in September at the 2019 JGP France in Courchevel. Three weeks later, they won a second gold medal at the 2019 JGP Russia in Chelyabinsk. With these results, they qualified for the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix Final in Torino. Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy placed third in the rhythm dance there, with her describing them as "quite happy" with their performance.[3] They were also third in the free dance, despite Naryzhnyy missing a twizzle level, and won the bronze medal.[4]

After winning the junior national title at the 2020 Russian Junior Championships, Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy were assigned to compete at the 2020 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. First in the free dance, they won a small gold medal for the segment, becoming the only team to score above 70 points in the junior rhythm dance that season.[5] Third in the free dance, they dropped to third place overall and won the bronze medal. Shanaeva said, "we got a lot of energy to show our maximum next season and to be ready to beat everyone."[6]

2020–2021 season

After junior Russian test skates in August, both became ill with COVID-19, first Shanaeva and then Naryzhnyy.[7] This caused them to miss the first half of the season, competing only in December, on the fifth stage of the domestic Cup of Russia series, but having to withdraw after the rhythm dance due to Naryzhnyy getting food poisoned.[8]

At the beginning of February, they competed on the 2021 Russian Junior Championships in Krasnoyarsk, placing third in the rhythm dance, second in the free dance and second overall.[9] They claimed to be happy with their performances after such a difficult period, defining their result as a "silver medal with a golden shine."[10]

They were scheduled to participate in the Russian Cup Final in Moscow but withdrew due to medical reasons.[11] On the 17 and 18 of April, they performed in Team Tutberidze’s show Champions on Ice in Krasnodar and Sochi.

2021–2022 season

Moving to the international senior level, Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy won the bronze medal at the Budapest Trophy. They went on to make their senior Grand Prix debut at the 2021 Skate Canada International, where they finished in ninth place.[12] 

In December, Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy competed on the 2022 Russian Championship in Saint Petersburg, placing eighth in the rhythm dance and fifth in the free dance and finishing fifth overall.[13]
