  1. Sofia’s family had moved to the city of Saint Petersburg in 2007 when she was 5 years old. It was at this time that she began getting trained in the art of figure skating, which by her own admission, was a little too late to start.
  2. Her first major competitive event was the 2015 Russian Junior Championships where she had finished in 16th place. She had improved dramatically over the next 12 months or so and had claimed 6th place in the subsequent edition of the championship, in 2016.

She also made her senior nationals debut that year by participating in the Russian Championship in December 2016 and finished in 9th place. She was not due to compete but had been called in as a reserve replacement at the 11th hour due to an injury sustained by one of the listed gymnasts.
