Stefania Pavlovna Gladki or Gladkaya (ru|Стефания Павловна Гладкая; born 28 May 2010) is a Russian-French figure skater who currently competes for France. She is the 2024 French national silver medalist.
At the junior level, Gladki is the 2024 JGP Czech Republic silver medalist, the 2024 JGP Turkey bronze medalist, and the 2024 French junior national champion.
Gladki was born on 28 May 2010 in Moscow, Russia. Her father is French with Ukrainian roots, and her mother is Russian.
Gladki began learning how to skate at age three-and-a-half. She competed domestically for Russia until the 2023–24 season, when she chose to change her country of representation to her father's native France. While she did compete at the 2022 Master's de Patinage, where she placed second in the junior women's category under the French flag, she did not compete for France internationally until 2023.
Gladki made her international junior debut for France at the 2023 JGP Austria where she finished just off the podium in 4th. At her second JGP assignment of the season, the 2023 JGP Hungary, she placed 6th. 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.
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. This was the best placement for a French women at the event since Fanny Cagnard achieved the same result in 1998.
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. 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.
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. 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.[1]
