Figure skater Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya has actually passed away at the age of 20.
Alexandrovskaya and fellow athlete Harley Windsor ended up being partners in set skating about four years ago. Then, after just one year of training together, the duo won the 2017 World Junior title. After a series of accomplishments, the figure skaters, representing Australia, completed together at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games.
ISU President Jan Dijkema also said in a declaration, “The ISU is surprised by the news of Ekaterinas passing. She was a talented set skater and the Figure Skating neighborhood will miss her. We provide our inmost sympathies to her household, colleagues and friends and grieve this terrible loss.”
The International Skating Union (ISU) validated the Olympic athletes death over the weekend, specifying in a message on their site, “It is with profound unhappiness that the ISU learned of the sudden and unexpected death of set skater Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya (AUS) in Moscow.”
