Anna Stanislavovna Shcherbakova (Russian: Анна Станиславовна Щербакова, IPA: [ˈanːə ɕːɪrbɐˈkovə], born 28 March 2004)[1] is a Russian figure skater. She is the reigning Olympic champion (2022), a World champion (2021), a European Champion (2022), and a three-time Russian national champion (2019–2021). She was the first woman figure skater to land a quad Lutz in senior competition and the first woman to land two quad Lutz jumps in a single program. She was also the first woman figure skater to land a quad flip in combination with a triple jump, as well as the first to land two quad flip jumps in a single program. She is the first Olympic champion in women’s single skating with quad jumps. The quad Lutz and quad flip are among the three most difficult jumps in figure skating, only behind the quad axel.[2]

She is also the European silver medalist (2020), the 2019 Grand Prix Final silver medalist, the 2019 Skate America champion, the 2019 Cup of China champion, the 2021 Internationaux de France champion, the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia champion, the 2019 CS Lombardia Trophy champion, the 2021 Budapest Trophy silver medalist, and the 2022 Russian national silver medalist. At the junior level, Shcherbakova was the 2019 World Junior silver medalist, 2018 JGP Slovakia champion, 2018 JGP Canada champion, 2019 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival champion, and 2019 Russian junior national bronze medalist.

Shcherbakova began figure skating when she was three years old, and she joined Eteri Tutberidze's group when she was nine. She was one of the first women to add quad jumps to her programs.
