Biography

Until the age of 11, Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya performed as an individual skater, but switched to pairs skating at her training-base in Ukraine in the spring of 2012. In 2016, she received an offer from the Australian Federation to compete with Harley Windsor under the guidance of Russian coaches Andrey Hekalo and Nina Moser. At the 2017 Junior World Championships in Taipei, the Australian couple caused an upset: after the short programme they were in third place, before taking the gold medal after the free programme.

During a training session on January 10, 2020 Alexandrovskaya suffered a severe epilepsy seizure according to her trainer Andrey Khekalo. Following two weeks medical examination, she was recommended to discontinue her professional sports career. On July 18, 2020, Aleksandrovskaya committed suicide by falling from her apartment in a multi-storey building in Moskva.
