Personal life
editGladki was born on 28 May 2010 in Moscow, Russia. Growing up with a French father with Ukrainian roots and Russian mother, Gladki is able to communicate in both languages fluently.[1][2] In addition, she has family members that reside in Canada.[3]
She currently attends both Russian and French schools online.[3][1]
Career
editEarly career
editIn 2014, Gladki's parents signed her up for figure skating at the age three-and-a-half as a means to help improve her allergies.[1][2] At the age of six, her parents decided that their daughter would represent France should she eventually compete internationally and thus registered her to the Nice Baie des Anges Association in Nice, France.[4] She then began splitting her time between training in Nice and Moscow, and would compete at French and Russian domestic competitions.[5] Her early coaches included, Natalia Mankevich, Irina Lobacheva, and Alexander Mandrikov. She officially began competing for France internationally in 2023.[6][7]
2023–24 season: International junior debut
editPrior to the season, it was announced that Gladki would split her time between training in Moscow under Svetlana Panova and Tatiana Moiseeva, and in Nice under Cédric Tour.[8]
She made her international junior debut for France at the 2023 JGP Austria where she finished just off the podium in 4th.[9] At her second JGP assignment of the season, the 2023 JGP Hungary, she placed 6th.[10] In November 2023, she won the silver medal in the junior women's event at the 2023 Bosphorus Cup between Georgian skater Inga Gurgenidze and Czech entrant Barbora Tykalová.[11]
Gladki competed at both the junior and senior French Championships, despite not being eligible to compete at the senior level internationally, and earned medals at both events, becoming the 2024 French national silver medalist and junior national champion at just 13. Due to her win at junior nationals, Gladki was assigned to compete at 2024 Junior Worlds in February where she placed within the top 10 with a 9th-place finish.[12] This was the best placement for a French women at the event since Fanny Cagnard achieved the same result in 1998.
2024–25 season
editDuring the summer off-season, Gladki would work with Rafael and Vera Arutyunyan in Irvine, California.[3][13]
Gladki opened her second junior international season back on the Junior Grand Prix circuit at the 2024 JGP Czech Republic. There, she won the silver medal behind Japanese debutante Kaoruko Wada and Korean skater Kim Yu-jae.[14][15] At her next assignment, the 2024 JGP Turkey, she won bronze behind Korean champion Kim Yu-seong and Japanese silver medalist Ami Nakai. With these results, Gladki qualified for the 2024–25 Junior Grand Prix Final in Grenoble, France.[16][17]
Following her JGP events, Gladki competed at the 2024 Master's de Patinage where she won gold on the junior level for a second consecutive time.[18] She also competed at the 2024 Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur, however after completing the short program segment, the junior women's free skate event was cancelled due to poor weather conditions. Gladki was awarded the gold medal based on her short program result.[19]
In late December, Gladki competed at the Junior Grand Prix Final, where she finished in sixth place. Two weeks later, she competed on the senior level and won the 2025 French Championships at only fourteen years old.[18][20]
