Eva-Lotta Kiibus

Kiibus began learning to skate in 2007.[3] She competed in the advanced novice ranks in the 2015–2016 season and made her junior international debut the following season.

In September 2018, Kiibus debuted on both the ISU Junior Grand Prix series and the senior-level ISU Challenger Series. In December, she won silver at Estonia's senior championships, finishing second to Gerli Liinamäe. She became the national junior champion the following month. In February 2019, she won gold in the senior ladies' category at the Tallink Hotels Cup.

In March, Kiibus appeared at her first ISU Championship – the 2019 World Junior Championships in Zagreb, Croatia. Ranked 26th in the short program, she did not advance to the final segment. Later that month, she competed at the 2019 World Championships in Saitama, Japan. She qualified to the final segment by placing 23rd in the short program.

Kiibus at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics

For the new season, Kiibus continued competing on both senior and junior levels. On the Junior Grand Prix circuit, she placed seventh at the 2019 JGP Chelyabinsk in Russia and eighth at 2019 JGP Egna in Italy. On the senior level, in the first half of the season she took part in three Challenger events, initially placing sixth at both the 2019 CS Nebelhorn Trophy and 2019 CS Finlandia Trophy. At the 2019 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb she was eleventh. In December, Kiibus became the Estonian senior national champion.

In January 2020, Kiibus first competed at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics, placing fourteenth. She then made her debut at the European Championships, placing eleventh in the short program.[4] Fifth in the free skate with a new personal best, she rose to seventh place overall. Kiibus said afterward that it was "such an experience. I felt so good and I skated with my heart."[5] She was assigned to compete at the World Championships in Montreal, but those were cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.[6]

With pandemic-related travel restrictions in place, Kiibus started off her season at a 2020 CS Nebelhorn Trophy attended only by skaters training in Europe.[7] Third after the short program, she won the free skate and took the gold medal, her first Challenger title.[8] Shortly afterward, she won the silver medal at the 2020 CS Budapest Trophy, regarding her performance there as an improvement over Nebelhorn despite the lower ordinal.[9]

Kiibus was assigned to make her Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Internationaux de France, the ISU having opted to alott the Grand Prix for that season based primarily on geographic location. The event was later cancelled due to the pandemic, but Kiibus was subsequently reassigned to the 2020 Rostelecom Cup.[9] She placed sixth at the Moscow event.[10] Kiibus was one of a number of skaters to contract COVID-19 at the Rostelecom Cup, as a result of which she took weeks to recover, and indicated at the Estonian Championships that mental recovery would take longer. She placed third in the short program at the national championships.[11] She rallied in the free skate to edge out Gerli Liinamäe for the gold medal by 0.31 points.[12]
