Personal life edit
Gozhva was born on 5 December 2001 in Kyiv. Her sister, Daria (one year older), is also a competitive figure skater.[1]
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Gozhva and her family fled to Tallinn, Estonia and moved into a shared apartment. Some close friends of Gozhva were fatally shot by Russian soldiers during the invasion.[2]
She is currently a student at the National University of Ukraine on Physical Education and Sport.[3][2]
Career edit
Early career edit
Gozhva began learning to skate in 2004.[4] In the 2015–16 season, she won both the junior and senior Ukrainian national titles.[5][6] Too young to compete in senior internationals, she was sent to the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. She qualified for the free skate by placing 13th in the short program and finished 17th overall.
In February 2017, Gozhva won the silver medal at the 2017 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Erzurum, Turkey. She made her senior international debut in September at the 2017 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy.[7]
2018–2019 season edit
Gozhva placed fourth at the 2019 Ukrainian Championships. Because none of the medalists met the minimum age or TES requirements, she was named in Ukraine's team to the 2019 European Championships in Minsk, Belarus. Ranked 36th in the short program, she did not advance to the free skate. In February, she outscored Nicole Schott by 1.16 points to win gold at the Jégvirág Cup in Hungary.[7]
2019–20 season edit
Gozhva began her season at the 2019 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, where she finished sixteenth.
She went on to compete at the 2020 European Championships in Graz, Austria, where she placed thirty-fourth in the short program, failing to advance to the free skate segment of the competition.[7]
2020–21 season edit
Gozhva sat out the 2020–21 figure skating season.
2021–22 season edit

In late February, Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine, as a result of which the International Skating Union banned all Russian and Belarusian skaters from competing.[8] Gozvha was at home in Kyiv during the first attacks. As a result, Gozhva relocated to Tallinn, Estonia, where she began trainng under Irina Kononova, in addition to continuing to work with her longtime coach, Marina Amirkhanova.[7][2]
