Career

edit

Early career

edit

Geynish began figure skating in 2010.[3] As a singles skater, she trained at the Megasport Sport Palace in Moscow.[5] She would make the decision to switch to pair skating in 2019 due to the discipline typically having more career longevity when compared to women's singles skating in Russia.[4] She would then begin training at the Moscow Skating School "Vorobyovy Gory" to train under Nina Mozer and Vladislav Zhovnirski. Her first pair partner was Andrey Sachkov, who she skated with until 2021.[6][7] Together, the pair won bronze on the junior level at the 2019 IceLab.[8]

Teaming up with Ilya Mironov in 2021, the pair won would win the gold medal on the junior level at the 2021 Budapest Trophy, finish eleventh at the 2022 Russian Championships, and finished fifth at the 2022 Russian Junior Championships. Their partnership would dissolved following the 2021–22 figure skating season.[9]

Partnership with Chigirev

edit

2022–23 season

edit

Following the end of the 2021–22 figure skating season, Geynish teamed up with Dmitrii Chigirev.[10] Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, all Russian figure skaters were banned from competing at international competitions.[11] Geynish and Chigirev therefore only competed at the 2022 Senior Russian Cup Grand Prix stages 2 and 5, placing fifth at both events.[12]

In May 2023, it was announced that the pair had planned to begin competing for Uzbekistan and had submitted documents to the Figure Skating Federation of Russia to request a release, which was ultimately successful.[13][10]

2024–25: Debut for Uzbekistan

edit

Making their international debut for Uzbekistan in early September, Geynish and Chigirev won the bronze medal at the 2024 John Nicks International Pairs Competition. Selected to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix circuit, the pair competed at 2024 Skate Canada International, placing fourth in the short program, but winning the free skate and winning the silver medal.[14] With this result, Geynish and Chigirev became the first pair team representing Uzbekistan to win a senior Grand Prix medal.[15]
