Born in the Ukraine, Olga Mikutina could not find the coach she needed to fulfil her dream of becoming an Olympic figure skater. Eventually a meeting with renowned trainer Elena Romanova proved successful. Olga moved to Austria at 12-years-old. Without any knowledge of German, Olga slowly began to adapt to her new life. Her success continued as she won the Austria National Championship before an surprise 8th place at the World Championships in 2021. This amazing result put her in the spotlight as a rising star for Beijing 2022.
