Elizaveta Khudaiberdieva

Khudaiberdieva began learning to skate in 2006.[2] She was a single skater until 2015–2016 season. She then switched to ice dancing and teamed up with Nikita Nazarov. They started to compete together in 2016–2017 season.[3] They are coached by Denis Samokhin and Maria Borovikova.

Khudaiberdieva/Nazarov made their international junior debut in January 2017 at the 2017 Toruń Cup where they won the gold medal.

They placed 8th at the 2017 Russian Junior Championships.

Khudaiberdieva/Nazarov received their first ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) assignments in the 2017–2018 season. They won medals at both JGP events, first a bronze medal in late August in Brisbane, Australia and then the silver medal in October in Gdańsk, Poland.

They placed fifth at the 2018 Russian Junior Championships after placing second in the short dance and sixth in the free dance.

Khudaiberdieva/Nazarov won their first JGP gold medal in August at the 2018 JGP event in Bratislava, Slovakia, after placing first in both the rhythm dance and the free dance. They scored their personal best score of 159.62 points and they beat the silver medalists, Elizaveta Shanaeva / Devid Naryzhnyy, by about seven points.[4] Their rhythm dance, free dance and combined total scores at this competition were the highest scores achieved in an international junior ice dance competition at the time, subsequently surpassed by others.

At their second JGP event of the season in Ostrava, Czech Republic, they won a second gold medal. Again they were ranked first in both the rhythm dance and the free dance.[5] With two JGP gold medals they qualified for the 2018–19 Junior Grand Prix Final. At the Final, Khudaiberdieva/Nazarov won the bronze medal after placing third in the rhythm dance and fourth in the free dance. They were part of a Russian sweep of the ice dance podium. Khudaiberdieva/Nazarov were about 6 points behind both the gold medalists, Sofia Shevchenko / Igor Eremenko and the silver medalists, Arina Ushakova / Maxim Nekrasov, who were separated by only a 0.01 point. Khudaiberdieva/Nazarov won the bronze medal over Marjorie Lajoie / Zachary Lagha, who placed fourth, by a margin of only 0.03 points.

After winning the bronze medal at the 2019 Russian Junior Championships, Khudaiberdieva/Nazarov concluded the season at the 2019 World Junior Championships. They placed second in the rhythm dance, winning a silver small medal and unexpectedly beating their Russian teammates due to superior results on the tango pattern dance.[6] They came fourth in the free dance, but remained in second place overall, winning the silver medal. Khudaiberdieva said the result was not something they had expected, as "we were the number three Russian team, a confident number three though. For us, it was more about overcoming ourselves than anyone else. We haven’t realized yet that we are second at our first Junior Worlds." Noting that it was their final junior season, Nazarov said "there are many teams in Russia, but if you look at the results at major events, they are not that great. But all these teams also once came up from juniors. We just have to work very hard in order to achieve something."[7]

On May 13, 2019, it was announced that Khudaiberdieva and Nazarov had split.

Khudaiberdieva teamed up with Andrei Filatov in late April 2019.[8]

Khudaiberdieva/Filatov made their international junior debut in September 2019 at the 2019 JGP event in Riga, Latvia, where they won the gold medal. They placed first in the rhythm dance and second in the free dance and beat the silver medalists, Georgian team Maria Kazakova / Georgy Reviya, by about 0.3 point.

The pair were withdrawn of their second event at Poland because of medical problem and reassigned to Italy and here they again won another gold medal and qualified for 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix Final. They were fourth at 2020 Russian Junior Nationals, and were not named to the Junior World team.

In May, she was named to the Russian Senior National Team for the 2020 - 2021 season with new partner, Egor Bazin.[9]
