How did Yulia Lipnitskaya Make Her Money & Wealth?
Born on June 5, 1998, in Yekaterinburg, Russia, Yulia Lipnitskaya began her training at the age of four. Coached by Elena Levkovets, she practiced on the ice for many years, prior to moving to Moscow in 2009. By then, her skills had already allowed her to compete on the junior level at the Russian Championships. A year later, she would make her senior debut.
For the 2012-13 season, Lipnitskaya became eligible for a few senior events including the Finlandia Trophy, where she successfully won gold. Despite having received a few injuries to her ankle, she eventually also finished in third place at the 2012 Trophee Eric Bompart event. With that said, a second injury soon led her to withdraw from the Grand Prix Final in Russia later that year.
Continuing to compete the following season, she took to the ice at several competitions including the Grand Prix Final, World Junior Championships, European Championships, and World Championships. After winning the ladies’ title, she was selected to represent Russia at the 2014 Winter Olympics, where she contributed to the gold medal for the team event.
Though she continued to compete for the 2016-17 season, her performance was hindered by injuries. At one point, she even hurt her lower back after slipping on a patch of ice. After a period of silence, it was announced that she had decided to retire from the sport in 2017. Following the decision, she returned home where she underwent medical treatment.
Though her competitive career may be over, she plans on remaining involved in the sport through shows and exhibitions. Naturally, it’d also help her to recuperate some of her previous training costs.
Like many Olympians, the teen’s popularity has landed her several endorsements. For instance, she signed a long-term deal with Adidas in 2015. That same year, she was honored with a Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award for the category of Favourite Russian Athlete. In the past, she had also appeared on the covers of Elle Girl Russia.
