Shira Ichilov

Ichilov trained initially in roller skating (singles), coached by Anna Kantor.[2] She switched to ice skating in 2014.[1] After a year in Holon, she relocated to the United States to train with the Israeli national Olympic team.[2]

Ichilov began skating with Vadim Davidovich in July 2016, coached by Galit Chait in the U.S.[2] In November, making their international debut, Ichilov/Davidovich finished tenth in junior ice dancing at the 2016 Tallinn Trophy. In March, they placed 26th in the short dance at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan. Their placement was not sufficient to advance to the free dance.

In September, Ichilov/Davidovich debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series, finishing sixth in Salzburg, Austria, and then fourth in Riga, Latvia. After taking silver in the junior event at the 2017 Minsk-Arena Ice Star and placing fourth at the 2017 Golden Spin of Zagreb, they became the Israeli national junior champions. In March, the duo competed at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria; they qualified to the final segment and finished 17th overall. It was Davidovich's final season of age-eligibility for junior events.

Making their senior international debut, Ichilov/Davidovich finished ninth at the 2018 CS Finlandia Trophy in October. They placed 12th at the Volvo Open Cup and 10th at the 2018 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb before taking the Israeli national title.

In January, the two qualified to the free dance at the 2019 European Championships in Minsk, Belarus. They finished 20th overall, having ranked 20th in both segments. The two split following the 2-10 World Championships, where they finished 25th in the rhythm dance and failed to qualify to the free dance.

Ichilov partnered with France's Laurent Abecassis to compete for Israel.[3] They placed 12th at 2020 Egna Dance Trophy and then won gold at 2020 Jégvirág Cup.
