Natalja Aleksandrovna Zabijako (Russian: Наталья Александровна Забияко, born 15 August 1994) is a Russian-Estonian pair skater. She competed for Estonia until 2014, partnered with Sergei Muhhin, Sergei Kulbach, and Alexandr Zaboev. With Zaboev, she placed tenth at the 2014 European Championships. Although they qualified a spot for Estonia in the pairs' event at the 2014 Winter Olympics, they did not compete in Sochi because Zaboev's fast-track citizenship application was declined. She currently competes for Russia and teamed up with Alexander Enbert.

Personal life

Zabijako was born in Tallinn, Estonia. Her mother is an Estonian citizen, her father is a stateless person in Estonia, and her grandparents are Russian citizens living in Novorossiysk.[1]:{{{3}}}

From 2010 to 2014, Zabijako lived in the United States with a Russian emigrant family.[1]:{{{3}}} In April 2014, she said she planned to move to Moscow and apply for Russian citizenship.[2]:{{{3}}}[1]:{{{3}}} She became a Russian citizen on 19 December 2014.[3]:{{{3}}}

Career

Zabijako began skating when she was four years old. At age 15, she switched from singles to pairs, partnering with Sergei Muhhin.[1]:{{{3}}} They made their international debut at the 2009 ISU Junior Grand Prix in Belarus and placed 16th at the 2010 World Junior Championships.

Later in 2010, Zabijako teamed up with Ukrainian skater Sergei Kulbach to represent Estonia. After debuting at the 2010 Nebelhorn Trophy, the pair placed 13th at the 2011 European Championships and 16th at the 2011 World Championships. Zabijako injured her back as a result of a fall at the NRW Trophy in December 2011, preventing them from competing at the 2012 European Championships.[4]:{{{3}}} On 15 February 2012, it was reported that Zabijako and Kulbach had parted ways.[4]:{{{3}}}

In October 2012, Zabijako teamed up with Russian-born skater Alexandr Zaboev to compete for Estonia.[5]:{{{3}}} By finishing ninth at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy, they earned a spot for Estonia in pair skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Zaboev applied for Estonian citizenship, required to represent the country at the Olympics,[5]:{{{3}}} but in November 2013, Estonia denied his fast-track application.[6]:{{{3}}} Zabijako/Zaboev placed tenth at the 2014 European Championships and 19th at the 2014 World Championships. In late March 2014, Zabijako ended their partnership, saying he was too difficult to work with[7]:{{{3}}} and the Estonian Skating Federation did not provide them with equal financial support.[8] In early April 2014, the Secretary General of the Estonian Skating Union submitted an official rebuttal to Zabijako’s statements. The Secretary General called Zabijako’s statements concerning the Skating Union and her partner slanderous and untrue;“Sport - is voluntary, and each person has a right to make decisions, but to justify their actions do not have to lie and defame their partners.”[9]

In April 2014, Zabijako said she would move to Moscow to work with Nina Mozer and try out with different skaters,[7]:{{{3}}} intending to compete for Russia.[1]:{{{3}}} ISU rules require skaters to sit out a certain period of time after a country change.[10]:{{{3}}} In summer 2014 Zabijako and Yuri Larionov decided to skate together.

Partnership with Enbert

In June 2015 Zabijako said that she and Yuri Larionov had ended their partnership. In July 2015 it became known that Zabijako and Alexander Enbert would skate together in season 2015-2016. Zabijako also confirmed that she and Enbert were free to represent Russia at any international event. [11] In October 2015 Zabijako/Enbert started their international career by competing in an ISU Challenger Series at the 2015 Mordovian Ornament where they won silver medal. In November Zabijako/Enbert skated their 1st Grand Prix competition when they placed 5th at the 2015 Rostelecom Cup. In December 4-6, Zabijako/Enbert competed in Challenger Series at the 2015 Golden Spin of Zagreb. They placed 4th and also became 3rd at the 2015-16 ISU Challenger Series ranking. On December 24-27, Zabijako and Enbert competed at the 2016 Russian Championships finishing in 5th place after placing fifth in the short program and free skate.
