Early career[]
Zhuk began learning to skate in 2007. Training in pairs, early partners included Maxim Miroshkin and Evgeniy Kostarev.[1] She competed with Egor Britkov for three seasons, placing fourth at the 2017 Russian Junior Championships and winning a silver medal at the 2017 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb the following season.[2]
2019–2020 season[]
On June 26, 2019, Zhuk announced a new partnership with Czech pair skater Martin Bidař, with plans to represent his country. In their first season together they competed exclusively domestically, winning the Czech national title.[3]
2020–2021 season[]
With the COVID-19 pandemic limiting international opportunities, Zhuk/Bidař made their debut internationally at the 2020 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, one of only four pairs on the preliminary entry list.[4] They were fifth in the short, fourth in the free, and fourth overall.[5] They subsequently competed at the 2021 World Championships, placing fifteenth and in the process qualifying a berth for a Czech pair at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[3][6]
2021–2022 season[]
In September, the Czech federation officially named Zhuk/Bidař to the Czech Olympic team.[7] They made their debut at the 2021 CS Finlandia Trophy, where they placed ninth.[3]
