Personal life
[edit]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
[edit]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.
