Personal life

Mikhail Sergeyevich Kolyada was born on 18 February 1995 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.[6][7] He has three younger siblings.[8] He is enrolled at the Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sport and Health.[8]

Career

Early years

Kolyada began learning to skate in 2000.[9] Coach Valentina Chebotareva invited him to join her group when he was five, after observing him at a small rink.[10]

2011–2012 to 2012–2013

Kolyada began competing on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series in 2011. In 2013, he won the Russian Junior Championships and was assigned to the World Junior Championships where he finished 6th.[11]

2013–2014 season

Kolyada won silver and bronze medals on the JGP series, becoming the first alternate for the JGP Final. After placing sixth in the short program at the senior Russian Championships, he withdrew from the free skate, unable to fix a problem with his boot laces.[12]

2014–2015 season

Kolyada fractured his right ankle in August 2014, leading to two surgeries and five months off the ice.[8] He withdrew from the 2014 Rostelecom Cup, which would have been his Grand Prix debut, and the 2015 Russian Championships. In March 2015, he won gold at the Gardena Spring Trophy.

2015–2016 season

Kolyada finished third in the Challenger Series (CS) rankings after winning silver at the 2015 Ondrej Nepela Trophy and bronze at the 2015 Ice Challenge. Skating in his first Grand Prix competition, he placed 5th at the 2015 Rostelecom Cup in November. The following month, he won the silver medal at the Russian Championships in Yekaterinburg. Many observers believed he should have won over Maxim Kovtun, as he skated 2 clean programs with quads, and looked to be a more artistically advanced skater, with better quality technical jumps, than Kovtun, but Kovtun had already been established as the long term Russian hopeful at this point.

In January 2016, Kolyada placed 9th in the short program, third in the free skate, and fifth overall at the European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia. From 30 March to 1 April, he competed at the 2016 World Championships in Boston. Ranked sixth in the short and fifth in the free, he finished fourth overall, just missing the bronze to China's Boyang Jin.

2016–2017 season

Kolyada placed 4th at the 2016 CS Finlandia Trophy and 2016 Rostelecom Cup. His next Grand Prix assignment was the 2016 NHK Trophy. In December 2016, he won his first Russian national title.[13][14] At the 2017 European Championships, he won the bronze medal behind Javier Fernández and Maxim Kovtun. He placed 4th in the short program and 3rd in the free skate. In the free program he fell on a quad Lutz, but the jump was counted as fully rotated.[15] At the 2017 World Championships he placed 7th in the short program and 9th in the free skate, finishing 8th overall. At the 2017 World Team Trophy he placed 4th in the short program, and 5th in the free skate with Team Russia finishing 2nd place overall. In the free skate and attempted a quad Lutz but fell on the landing although the jump was counted as fully rotated.[16]

2017–2018 season

Kolyada started his season with a gold medal at the 2017 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy, after ranking 10th in the short program and first in the free skate. In the free skate, he landed his first quad lutz in international competition.[17] He placed 4th at the 2017 CS Finlandia Trophy and won the bronze medal at the 2017 Rostelecom Cup, and later the gold medal at the 2017 Cup of China, qualifying him for the Grand Prix Final.

He then had his biggest achievement yet, finishing 3rd at the Grand Prix Final. The next month, he won his 2nd consecutive Russian figure skating title, and despite errors won bronze for the 2nd consecutive year at the European Figure Skating Championships.

He was selected to skate both programs for Team Russia in the Olympic Team Figure Skating event, helping the Olympic Athletes of Russia to the Team Silver medal.

He won the bronze medal at the 2018 World Figure Skating Championships in Milan, Italy, being 2nd after the short, but dropping to 3rd after errors in the long.
