Happiest 24th birthday to Ekaterina Kurakowa, 2 time Olympian, Worlds, Grand Prix and Europeans competitor
Let’s give some appreciation on her birthday
to only current female singles skater representing Poland 🇵🇱 internationally!!! 🎂🎉🥳🎈🎁🎊
I wish all the happiness, health, success, successful landing of 3A in competition (she is been doing it in harness).
Her highest placements were 11th in both Olympics and World Championships, 4th twice in European Championships and 1st 🥇 3 times in Challenger competition Warsaw Cup, 7th in Junior World Championships.
However, she known and loved for her wonderfully expressive style, acting and dancing ability, and deeply emotional performances. She is capable of delivering level 4 step sequences, which usually mostly medal contenders do (and some other unusual skaters). Unfortunately her jumping skills are holding her back, but I do hope it’ll improve over next seasons. Currently she leraning 3A, there is even a video of her landing 3A in harness. I really wish she succeeds in it in competition too, this would so cool and go a long way towards improving her placements.
yeah I know very well she’s Russian but she has been representing Poland for close to decade and she’s never expressed support of Russian-Ukrainian war.
