Devid Naryzhnyy

Naryzhnyy began learning to skate when he was three years old, when his parents were part of an ice show in England.[3] As a young skater, he trained in Kharkiv, coached by Galina Churilova, and Saint Petersburg. For about six months, he also trained in Sochi, where his father had been offered a job. After moving to Moscow, he was coached by Ekaterina Rubleva and then met his next coaches, Irina Zhuk and Alexander Svinin, when Rubleva began working with them.[3]

Naryzhnyy trained with his first ice dancing partner for about a year and later skated with Varvara Chekmeneva. He teamed up with Elizaveta Shanaeva during the 2016–2017 season.[4] They are coached by Irina Zhuk and Alexander Svinin.

Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy won the 2017 Moscow Championship.

Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy received their first ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) assignments in the 2018–19 season. They won the silver medal at 2018 JGP Bratislava and placed 4th at 2018 JGP Yerevan.

In November 2018, they won the junior gold medal at the 2018 Grand Prix of Bratislava. They placed fourth at the 2019 Russian Junior Championships.

Returning to the Junior Grand Prix, Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy won their first JGP gold medal in September at the 2019 JGP France in Courchevel. Three weeks later, they won a second gold medal at the 2019 JGP Russia in Chelyabinsk. With these results, they qualified for the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix Final in Torino. Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy placed third in the rhythm dance there, with her describing them as "quite happy" with their performance.[5] They were third in the free dance as well, despite Naryzhnyy missing a twizzle level, and won the bronze medal.[6]

After winning the junior national title at the 2020 Russian Junior Championships, Shanaeva/Naryzhnyy were assigned to compete at the 2020 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. First in the free dance, they won a small gold medal for the segment, becoming the only team to score above 70 points in the junior rhythm dance that season.[7] Third in the free dance, they dropped to third place overall and won the bronze medal. Shanaeva said "we got a lot of energy to show our maximum next season and to be ready to beat everyone."[8]
