Career
Adelina Sotnikova began skating at the age of four at the "Yuzhny" ice rink near her home in Moscow.[5][6][7] At the age of seven she began training at CSKA which is further away from her home.[6] She began working with coach Elena Buianova (Vodorezova) a year later.[7]
During the 2008–2009 season, Sotnikova debuted at the senior level at the 2009 Russian Nationals and won the gold medal at the age of 12.[7][8] One month later she also won the 2009 Russian Junior Championships.[9]
Sotnikova was ineligible to compete on the Junior Grand Prix circuit during the 2009–2010 season because International Skating Union rules require that skaters turn 13 before 1 July in their place of birth – she was born a few hours into 1 July in Moscow.[10] Sotnikova's mother told her that she was born a month prematurely anyway.[10] She struggled with a growth spurt and dropped to fourth at Russian senior nationals and sixth in the junior event.
2010–2011 season
Sotnikova made her junior Grand Prix debut during the 2010–2011 season. She won gold medals in Austria and the U.K. and qualified for the 2010 Junior Grand Prix Final where she won the title.[11] At the 2011 Russian Championships, she placed second in the short program and first in the long, to win her second national title.[12] She was assigned to the World Junior Championships where she won the gold medal ahead of teammate Elizaveta Tuktamysheva.[13][14]
2011–2012 season
According to ISU age rules, Sotnikova is barred from the senior World or European Championships until 2013 but was allowed to debut on the senior Grand Prix circuit during the 2011–2012 season. She decided to take up this option and was assigned to 2011 Cup of China and 2011 Cup of Russia. She intended to begin her season at the 2011 Ondrej Nepela Memorial but withdrew after a leg injury caused her to miss a month of off-season training.[15] She won the bronze medal at Cup of China[16] and at Cup of Russia, to become the first alternate for the ladies' event at the Grand Prix Final.
Sotnikova then competed at the 2011 Golden Spin of Zagreb and won the gold medal. At the 2012 Russian Championships, she placed first in the short program and second in the long program, to win her third national title. She then competed at the 2012 Youth Olympic Games and won the silver medal. At the 2012 World Junior Championships, she won the bronze medal behind teammate Julia Lipnitskaia and U.S. skater Gracie Gold.[17] Sotnikova was named in the Russian team for 2012 ISU World Team Trophy. She finished 4th overall and posted a season's best in her free skate of 113.57 points.
2012–2013 season
Sotnikova has been assigned to 2012 Skate America and the 2012 Cup of Russia for the 2012–2013 season.
