Career

Metelkina began figure skating in 2009.[2] Her first pair partners were Daniil Shvetsov and Ilya Krasnikov, both of whom she represented Russia with.[3]

2020–21 season

In December 2020, it was announced that Metelkina had teamed up with fellow Russian pair skater, Daniil Parkman, and that they would be representing Georgia together. In February 2021, it was announced that the pair had earned the minimum technical scores to compete at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden.[4][1]

Making their debut as a pair team at these Championships, Metelkina/Parkman placed fourteenth in the short program and sixteenth in the free skate, finishing the event in sixteenth-place overall. They became the first Georgian pair team to compete at a World Championships.[1][5]

2021–22 season

Metelkina/Parkman began their season with a silver medal at the 2021 Budapest Trophy, before going on to finish fifth at the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup. At the 2021 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, the pair took the silver medal.[6]

Although assigned to compete at both the 2022 European Championships and the 2022 World Championships, the pair ultimately withdrew from both events and were replaced by Safina/Berulava.[7][8]

2022–23 season

Metelkina/Parkman opened their season at the 2022 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, finishing fifth. They went on to compete on the Grand Prix series, finishing fourth at the 2022 MK John Wilson Trophy as well as taking bronze at the 2022 Grand Prix of Espoo.[2]

Despite being selected to compete at the 2023 European Championships, Metelkina/Parkman ultimately ended their partnership in December 2022.[9]

2023–24 season

In June 2023, it was announced that Metelkina had former a new partnership with Luka Berulava.[10] Metelkina/Berulava opted to make their competitive debut on the Junior Grand Prix, a first for Metelkina, winning the gold medal at the 2023 JGP Turkey in Istanbul. Despite two falls in their free skate, their margin of victory over American silver medalists Flores/Wang was almost 27 points.[11] Two weeks later they competed their second event, the 2023 JGP Hungary in Budapest. They again won easily, despite difficulties on their jump elements. Metelkina/Berulava's results qualified them to the Junior Grand Prix Final in December; they said they planned on getting senior-level experience in the meantime.[12]
