Career

Early years

Bielobrov began learning to skate in 2004.[1]

Holubtsova/Bielobrov debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series in September 2014, placing tenth in Japan.[2]

2015–16 season

Holubtsova/Bielobrov received two Junior Grand Prix assignments. They placed tenth at the 2015 JGP Slovakia in August and seventh at the 2015 JGP Croatia in October.[2]

In February, they represented Ukraine in Norway at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics. Ranked ninth in the short dance and sixth in the free dance, they finished seventh overall in the ice dancing competition. They also competed in the team event, placing fifth as members of Team Focus.[3] In March, they competed at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Hungary. Ranked twentieth in the short dance, they qualified to the final segment and went on to finish eighteenth overall with a rank of seventeenth in the free dance.[2]

2019–20 season

Competing in the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix, Holubtsova/Bielobrov finished fifth in Latvia and seventh in Croatia. Ranked fourteenth in both segments, they placed fourteenth overall at the 2020 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.[2]

2021–22 season

Holubtsova/Bielobrov made their senior international debut in October 2021, placing fourth at the Budapest Trophy in Hungary. In November, they took bronze at the Pavel Roman Memorial in the Czech Republic and then finished ninth at the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup, having ranked seventh in the rhythm dance and ninth in the free. In December, they finished second to Nazarova/Nikitin at the Ukrainian Championships and were selected to compete at the 2022 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.[2]

In late February, Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine, as a result of which the International Skating Union banned all Russian and Belarusian skaters from competing.[4] As a result, Holubtsova/Bielobrov had to change training locations from Kyiv to Oberstorf, Germany. In addition, they also began training at the Ice Dance Academy of Montreal in Montreal, Quebec.

Holubtsova/Bielobrov began their season with an eighth-place finish at the 2022 CS Nebelhorn Trophy. They then went on to make their senior ISU Grand Prix debut at 2022 Skate America, where they placed tenth. They were tenth as well as the 2022 MK John Wilson Trophy, their second Grand Prix.

Competing at the 2023 Winter University Games, Holubtsova/Bielobrov finished fifth.

At the 2023 European Championships in Espoo, Finland, Holubtsova/Bielobrov placed twelfth, before finishing their season at the 2023 World Championships in Saitama, Japan, where they placed nineteenth.[2]

2023–24 season
