Skating career

Early years

2013–2014 season

In August 2013, Cherniavskaia/Souza-Kordeiru appeared at their first ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) event. Coached by Arina Ushakova and Andrei Hekalo in Moscow, they placed 5th at the 2013 JGP in Riga, Latvia, and then won silver at their next JGP assignment, which took place in October in Ostrava, Czech Republic.[5]

2014–2015 season

Cherniavskaia/Souza-Kordeiru moved up to the senior level, coached by Ushakova.[6] Making their Grand Prix debut, the pair placed eighth at the 2014 Cup of China in November. Later that month, they competed at the 2014 CS Ice Challenge and 2014 CS Warsaw Cup, finishing fourth at both events, but withdrew from their second Grand Prix assignment, the 2014 NHK Trophy. They placed eighth at the 2015 Russian Championships.

2015–2016 season

In October, Cherniavskaia/Souza-Kordeiru finished fourth at the 2015 CS Mordovian Ornament. It was their final international together. The pair did not compete at the 2016 Russian Championships.

In 2016, Croatia's Lana Petranović arrived in Moscow in search of a skating partner.[7] She and Souza-Cordeiro teamed up in spring 2016 to compete for Croatia.[3]

They were coached by Yuri Larionov in Moscow.[2][8]

Petranović underwent an operation after injuring the meniscus in her knee and returned to the ice after three months.[9] Due to her injury, the pair was unable to compete in September at the 2017 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, which served as the final qualification opportunity for the 2018 Winter Olympics. They returned to competition in January, placing 12th at the 2018 European Championships in Moscow. In March, they placed 21st at the 2018 World Championships in Milan, Italy.
