Career[]

Early years[]

Sinitsyna began learning to skate in 2008.[2] She finished 9th at the 2018 Russian Junior Championships.

2018–2019 season[]

In the 2018–2019 season, she debuted in the ISU Junior Grand Prix series.

In February 2019 at the 2019 Russian Junior Championships, Sinitsyna finished 4th (behind Trusova, Kostornaia and Shcherbakova).[4]

A few days later, she was one of the skaters who represented Russia on Sakhalin at the first Children of Asia Games, winning the bronze medal behind You Young and Alena Kanysheva.[5]

In March 2019, she (along with Alexandra Trusova and Anna Shcherbakova) represented Russia at the World Junior Championships in Zagreb, Croatia (replacing Kostornaia who withdrew due to a medical condition). Ranked 4th in the short and 6th in the free skate, she finished fourth overall.

2019–2020 season[]

For the 2019–20 season, Sinitsyna was assigned to 2019 JGP USA in Lake Placid, New York. However, she withdrew due to visa issues. She was reassigned to 2019 JGP Russia in Chelyabinsk, Russia, where she won the silver medal with a score of 204.25 behind Kamila Valieva. At the 2019 JGP Italy, Sinitsyna placed first in both the short program and the free skate with a new personal best scores and won her first Junior Grand Prix gold medal. These results qualified her to the 2019–20 Junior Grand Prix Final, where she placed fourth.

At the 2020 Russian Championships, an error in the short program led to her placing fifteenth, but she climbed to fifth place overall with a fourth-place finish in the free skate.[6]

Sinitsyna won the silver medal at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics behind You Young of South Korea and ahead of Russian teammate Anna Frolova. In the team event, she placed first individually to help her team (Arlet Levandi of Estonia, Alina Butaeva / Luka Berulava of Georgia, and Utana Yoshida / Shingo Nishiyama of Japan) win the gold medal.

2020–2021 season[]

Sinitsyna injured her leg over the summer, and subsequently became ill, as a result of which she missed the fall competitive season and the 2021 Russian Championships.[7] She returned to the competitions in early February of 2021, winning domestic competition Prizes of Elena Tchaikovskaia with a score of 202.16. At the competition she landed difficult Triple Lutz-Triple Loop combination but popped planned Quadruple Toe Loop. However, she successfully landed it on a warm-up. That was the first time ever Sinitsyna has tried any quad jump.
