Personal life

edit

Gozhva was born on 5 December 2001 in Kyiv. Her sister, Daria (one year older), is also a competitive figure skater.[1] After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Gozhva and her family fled to Tallinn, Estonia and moved into a shared apartment.[2] She would return to Ukraine one year later.[3]

Gozhva is currently a student at the National University of Ukraine on Physical Education and Sport.[4][2]

She has a pet Beagle named Ronya.[2]

Career

edit

Early career

edit

Gozhva began learning to skate in 2004.[5] In the 2015–16 season, she won both the junior and senior Ukrainian national titles.[6][7] Too young to compete in senior internationals, she was sent to the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. She qualified for the free skate by placing 13th in the short program and finished 17th overall.

In February 2017, Gozhva won the silver medal at the 2017 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Erzurum, Turkey. She made her senior international debut in September at the 2017 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy.[8]

2018–2019 season

edit

Gozhva placed fourth at the 2019 Ukrainian Championships. Because none of the medalists met the minimum age or TES requirements, she was named in Ukraine's team to the 2019 European Championships in Minsk, Belarus. Ranked 36th in the short program, she did not advance to the free skate. In February, she outscored Nicole Schott by 1.16 points to win gold at the Jégvirág Cup in Hungary.[8]

2019–20 season

edit

Gozhva began her season at the 2019 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, where she finished sixteenth.

She went on to compete at the 2020 European Championships in Graz, Austria, where she placed thirty-fourth in the short program, failing to advance to the free skate segment of the competition.[8]

2020–21 season

edit

Gozhva sat out the 2020–21 figure skating season.

2021–22 season

edit

Gozhva began the season with finishing fifteenth at the 2021 Budapest Trophy. She went on to win silver at the 2021 Autumn Talents Club and finish nineteenth at the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup.

She finished the season with a silver medal at the 2022 Ukrainian Championships.

In late February, Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine, as a result of which the International Skating Union banned all Russian and Belarusian skaters from competing.[9] Gozvha was at home in Kyiv during the first attacks. As a result, Gozhva relocated to Tallinn, Estonia, where she began training under Irina Kononova, in addition to continuing to work with her longtime coach, Marina Amirkhanova.[8][2]

2022–23 season

edit

Gozhva began the season with thirteenth-place finish at the 2022 CS Nebelhorn Trophy. She went on to compete at the 2022 Volvo Open Cup and the 2022 Tallinn Trophy, placing fifth and sixth, respectively.

At the 2022 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, Gozhva placed tenth, scoring a personal best free program and combined total score in the process.

Selected to compete at the 2023 Winter University Games, Gozhva scored a personal best in the short program placed eighth overall.

Competing at her third European Championships in Espoo, Finland, Gozhva placed twenty-second in the short program and seventeenth in the free skate, placing twentieth overall.

Gozhva closed her season by winning her second national title at the 2023 Ukrainian Championships.[10]

2023–24 season

edit

Prior to the season, it was announced that Gozhva had returned to her hometown of Kyiv and had resumed training there.[3] She began the season by finishing seventh, thirteenth, and fifth at the 2023 Jelgava Cup, the 2023 CS Nepela Memorial, and the Tirnavia Ice Cup, respectively.[11] She went on to win silver at the 2023 Denkova=Staviski Cup and gold at 2023 Skate Celje. At the 2023 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, Gozhva would place fourth.[11][10]

Selected to compete at the 2024 European Championships in Kaunas, Lithuania, Gozhva finished twentieth. Two months later, making her debut at the World Championships, held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Gozhva finished in thirty-fourth place.[10]

She closed the season by winning her third national title at the 2024 Ukrainian Championships.[11][10]

2024–25 season
