# Paulina Ramanauskaitė

Paulina Ramanauskaitė (born 27 January 2003) is a Lithuanian ice dancer. With her skating partner, Deividas Kizala, she competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

## Career
### Early years

As a singles skater, Ramanauskaitė won the Lithuanian national junior title in 2017–2018 and the senior title in 2019. She represented Lithuania at three ISU Championships — the 2018 World Junior Championships, 2019 World Junior Championships, and 2019 European Championships.

### Partnership with Kizala

In 2020, Ramanauskaitė teamed up with Deividas Kizala Paulina to compete in senior ice dancing. The two made their international debut in December 2020, at the Winter Star in Minsk, Belarus.
Although Allison Reed / Saulius Ambrulevičius qualified a spot for Lithuania in ice dancing at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Reed's application for Lithuanian citizenship was unsuccessful. Following this decision, Ramanauskaitė/Kizala were nominated to fill the spot and placed 23rd at the Olympics.
Ramanauskaitė/Kizala were entered to compete in the 2025 World Championships. However, less than two weeks before the competition, they withdrew after Kizala fractured his leg while running and was in too much pain to continue training.
