Personal life

Sokolovskaya was born in Norilsk to a family of doctors. She studied at the Ust-Kamenogorsk Pedagogical Institute in Oskemen.[1]

Together with her husband, she has a daughter, Elizabeth, born in 1990. Her granddaughter Alexandra began skating at age 3. Sokolovskaya enjoys skiing and playing basketball.[2]

Skating career

Sokolovskaya began skating at age six in Norilsk. Her first coach was Zhanna Gromova, who also coached Irina Slutskaya.

She failed to achieve significant results in single skating and grew 12 cm tall, so her coach transferred her to ice dancing under the guidance of Yuri Razbeglov. Sokolovskaya quickly came to the conclusion that she really did not want to skate, but wanted to teach. She then entered the Pedagogical Institute in Oskemen in order to began her coaching career.[2]
