# Talk:Yulia Lipnitskaya

Now that she is famous because of success at Olympics 2014 Sochi Russia, I would like to see a better photo in the lede and an action picture in the article. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 16:25, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

 Done -- Now there is a better action picture in the lede, how about a short video clip in the body of the article, such as her award-winning accelerating spin at the end of her performance? Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 16:09, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

I removed the following statements:
"She is the youngest European champion and holds the record for the combined total and free skate scores on the ladies' junior level."
There was at least one younger champion: Marina Cherkasova in pairs. Lipnitskaia might be the youngest to win the ladies' title but a reliable source is needed. References are also needed for the statement about the junior records.Hergilei (talk) 21:43, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

"SOCHI, Russia (AP) -- Fifteen-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia had the look of an Olympic champion Saturday night, dazzling the home crowd with a near-perfect performance in the women's team short program." -- FYI, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 13:27, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm reverting this, despite the credible source. The source is mistaken. (See below) She isn't the youngest to win gold in any figure skating event except the brand-new team event, which isn't really notable in my mind. Maxi Herber in 1936, was younger when she won a pairs medal. Lipnitskaia's age is being compared to Tara Lipinski, who is only the youngest to win individual gold, but Lipnitskaia's medal is not an individual one. She may win one, based off her form in the team competition, but she will be older than Lipinski was when the individual competition will be held on 20 February 2014. -- mpbx (talk) 02:26, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Not the youngest in figure skating history, but is the youngest under modern rules. Maxi Herber would have been too young to compute under modern rules, thus her record is impossible to beat (unless they change the age limit again). Kirin13 (talk) 04:28, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

About this: [2]. I'm not sure she "announced" anything. (It looks like she's dating him, though.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:04, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello there. I was checking Lipnitskaya's social media, and it seems that for the last few weeks she has been promoting an academy she opened alongside Elena Ilinykh. I wonder if that should be mentioned. I've linked a few of her posts and the Instagram account of the academy itself.

I saw where this article had been nominated as a WP:GA, so I took it upon myself to update the tables so as to conform with the WP Figure Skating MOS. This includes the infobox with medals, competition highlights, highest scores, and detailed results. The only table left to do is the repertoire table, which is my least favorite to do, so I will try to get to it tomorrow.  
Good Luck with the GA nomination! Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
