Jelizaveta Žuková or Elizaveta Valeriyevna Zhuk (Russian: Елизавета Валерьевна Жук; born 2 November 2003) is a former Russian-Czech pair skater who competes for the Czech Republic. With her skating partner, Martin Bidař, she is a two-time Czech national champion (2020–2021) and represented the Czech Republic at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Elizaveta Zhuk was born on 2 November 2003 in Yekaterinburg, Russia. In December 2021, she became a Czech citizen.[2] Her name changed to Jelizaveta Žuková, with a feminine suffix added to the Czech transliteration of her Russian name.
On June 26, 2019, Zhuk announced a new partnership with Czech pair skater Martin Bidař, with plans to represent his country. They competed exclusively domestically in their first season together, winning the Czech national title.[4]
2020–2021 seasonedit
With the COVID-19 pandemic limiting international opportunities, Zhuk/Bidař made their debut internationally at the 2020 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, one of only four pairs on the preliminary entry list.[5] They were fifth in the short, fourth in the free, and fourth overall.[6] They subsequently competed at the 2021 World Championships, placing fifteenth and, in the process, qualifying for a berth for a Czech pair at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[4][7]
Zhuk opted to restyle her name as Jelizaveta Žuková in advance of the Olympics. Žuková/Bidař made their European Championships debut in Tallinn, finishing in twelfth place.[4]
Žuková/Bidař began the 2022 Winter Olympics as the Czech entries in the pairs' short program Olympic team event, where they placed eighth of nine, earning three points for the Czech team.[9] Team Czech Republic did not advance to the next stage of the competition and finished eighth overall.[10] With two falls in the short program of the pairs event, they finished seventeenth and were the first team to miss qualification for the free skate.[11] Žuková sustained an ankle injury in training, as a result of which they did not compete at the 2022 World Championships.[12]
In March 2022, Žuková liked an Instagram post by Evgeni Plushenko expressing support for the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The president of the Czech Figure Skating Association noted that the federation strongly disagreed with her position and distanced itself. The president explained to Žuková the unsuitability of her conduct and asked her to apologize for her decision. Žuková apologized, stating that her decision was due to "youthful recklessness" and "misreading and misunderstanding" the post; the president deemed the apology sufficient.[13]
^Zhuk had not yet been released from Russia to compete internationally, so Zhuk/Bidař competed in a separate, domestic-only (Czech Figure Skating Association hosted the 2020 edition) event.[19] Their scores would have earned them silver if they had competed in the international segment.
