Personal life

edit

Alisa Lozko was born on 1 June 2002 in Izhevsk, Russia.[1]

Career

edit

Lozko started skating in 2006, training in the same rink as Olympic champion Alina Zagitova.[2] Svetlana Nekhroshev coached her until 2012. She was then invited to train in Alexei Mishin's group in Saint Petersburg.[2]

2015–16 season

edit

Lozko debuted internationally in the 2015–16 season, winning the 2015 Denkova-Staviski Cup in the junior category. At the Russian Nationals, she was 5th on the junior level. She won the gold medal at the 2016 Bavarian Open and another one at the 2016 Sportland Trophy.

2016–17 season

edit

In the 2016–17 season, Lozko made her debut at the Junior Grand Prix. She won the bronze medal in Ostrava, Czech Republic, behind Japan's Rika Kihira and countrymate Anastasiia Gubanova. Lozko then placed fifth in the 2016 JGP Slovenia and failed to qualify for the Junior Grand Prix Final.[3] At the Russian Championships, Lozko debuted in the senior level and finished in 14th in both programs and overall.

Lozko decided to switch coaches going to Moscow to "try her luck" with Eteri Tutberidze, but did not succeed.[2] Mishin, hearing the rumors of his student moving to Tutberidze's group, recommended all the coaches in SKA St. Petersburg to refuse coaching Lozko again.[2] She was then coached by Alina Pisarenko in SKA without Mishin's knowledge. After landing triple Axel and quadruple jumps in practice, Lozko had an injury.[2]

Later career

edit

After a long recovery of her injury, it was announced that she teamed up with Adian Pitkeev for ice dance and that the team would be coached by Elena Ilinykh.[4] They never competed together.

Lozko works as a coach.[2]
