Nadiia Bashynska (born November 15, 2003) is a Ukrainian-Canadian ice dancer, who competes internationally for Canada. With her skating partner, Peter Beaumont, she is a two-time World Junior bronze medalist (2022, 2023), 2022–23 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, a four-time ISU Junior Grand Prix medallist, and the 2023 Canadian Junior champion.

Personal life

[edit]

Bashynska was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. Her family subsequently emigrated to Canada.[1] She became a Canadian citizen in September 2020.[2]

When not skating, Bashynska also works as a barista.[3] She documents her life on her self-titled YouTube channel.[4]

Skating career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

After learning to skate in 2006, Bashynska's first ice dance partnership in Ukraine was with Andrei Kapran. When the Bashynska family began planning a move to Canada, Kapran was initially planned to accompany them to continue their on-ice partnership, but this ultimately did not happen. Upon arrival in Toronto, she began training by herself at the Scarboro Figure Skating Club under coaches Carol and Jon Lane and Juris Razgulajevs, who she had previously met at a seminar in Oberstdorf when she was 10 years old. After a year of skating by herself, Bashynska was contemplating accepting a scholarship to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School.[5] However, her coaches arranged a meeting with English dancer Peter Beaumont in January 2017, and they announced their partnership in June of that year.[1][5]

2017–18 season: National novice champions

[edit]

Bashynska and Beaumont began competing together domestically, winning the silver medal at the 2018 Skate Canada Challenge's novice division. This qualified them to the 2022 Canadian Novice Championships, where they won the gold medal.[6] Based on this, they were given their first international assignment to the advanced novice competition at the Egna Trophy in Val Gardena. Third after the short dance, they rose to second overall in the free dance. Beaumont said they were "really thankful for the opportunity to skate abroad."[7]

2018–19 season: Junior debut

[edit]

Moving up to the junior level, Bashynska/Beaumont were fifth at the Lake Placid Ice Dance International in New York. They were assigned to make their Junior Grand Prix debut at the 2018 JGP Slovakia in Bratislava. Placing ninth in the rhythm dance, they were fifth in the free dance despite an audience member throwing a stuffed toy onto the ice midway through the program, requiring them to adjust where they were going. They remained ninth overall.[8]

Thirteenth at Skate Canada Challenge, they finished the season competing at the 2019 Canadian Junior Championships, where they were tenth.[6]

2019–20 season: First JGP medal

[edit]

Bashynska/Beaumont returned to Lake Placid Ice Dance International to start the season, winning the gold medal. They were assigned to two events on the Junior Grand Prix, beginning with the 2019 JGP Russia in Chelyabinsk. They set personal bests in all three programs, finishing third in the rhythm dance, fifth in the free dance, and taking the bronze medal overall. Bashysnka and Beaumont were the only non-Russian medallists in any discipline in Chelyabinsk.[9] Bashynska noted that the well-attended Russian event was the largest audience they had ever performed in front of.[10] They were fourth at their second event, the 2019 JGP Croatia.[11]

Winning silver medals at both Skate Canada Challenge and the 2020 Canadian Junior Championships, Bashynska Beaumont were next assigned to the Bavarian Open along with the other three top Canadian junior dance teams to determine which would attend the 2020 World Junior Championships. They performed poorly at the event, finishing ninth overall and last among the Canadian teams, and as such, their season concluded.[12]

2020–21 season

[edit]

With the COVID-19 pandemic severely constraining competitions, both the ISU Junior Grand Prix and the 2021 World Junior Championships were cancelled. Additionally, in-person domestic competition was limited; as a result, Bashynska/Beaumont competed only once during the season at a virtually-held 2021 Skate Canada Challenge. They won the bronze medal. The 2021 Canadian Junior Championships were subsequently cancelled.[13][14]

2021–22 season: World Junior bronze

[edit]

With the resumption of the Junior Grand Prix, Bashynska/Beaumont returned to international competition at the 2021 JGP Russia in Krasnoyarsk. They finished fourth, less than three points back of third. Bashynska said they were satisfied with their overall performance but needed to address some technical issues.[15] Weeks later, at their second event, the 2021 JGP Austria in Linz, they initially placed fourth in the rhythm dance. Third in the free dance, they rose to third overall to win their second JGP bronze medal.[16] Beaumont said that going into the free dance, they "had the mindset that we've moved up in the standings before, and we can do it again."[17]

Bashynska/Beaumont won the gold medal at the 2021 Skate Canada Challenge.[18] Entering the 2022 Canadian Junior Championships in Ottawa, they were second in both programs to take their second consecutive national silver medal.[19]

Due to the pandemic, the 2022 World Junior Championships could not be held as scheduled in Sofia in early March and, as a result, were rescheduled for Tallinn in mid-April.[20] The event was further upended when Bashynska's birth country of Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Bashynska and Beaumont's free program for the season had been a medley of Russian folk songs, including the military-themed "Katyusha", which Bashynska would later say "was very close to me" as she felt "it unites our two Nations to show nothing but love." In light of the invasion, she said, "now I don't think I'll be able to forgive or ever compare these two countries ever again. I'm Ukrainian and will always be."[21] The team revived their previous seasons' free dance to "Caruso" and "And the Waltz Goes On" for the rest of the season.[22]

As a result of the invasion, the International Skating Union banned all Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in competitions, which significantly impacted the junior dance field.[23] The North American dance teams were viewed as favourites to dominate the podium, though Bashynska/Beaumont were not considered among the very top contenders going in compared to their compatriots D'Alessandro/Waddell and Americans Wolfkostin/Chen and Brown/Brown.[24] In the rhythm dance, they scored 63.45 points, finishing narrowly in third place, 0.15 points behind D'Alessandro/Waddell in second, while the Browns were solidly in first place with 66.98. Wolfkostin/Chen were distantly in ninth after she fell on her twizzle sequence. Beaumont said that "coming to this competition, we didn't have any expectations as a team. We just wanted to enjoy it and let our skating speak for itself."[25] In the free dance, they lost points when their rotational lift was graded as only level 1, placing fifth in that segment, but remained in third place overall, 0.37 points ahead of Wolfkostin/Chen. They won the bronze medal, saying they were "overjoyed" with the result.[26]

2022–23 season: JGP Final gold

[edit]

Bashynska and Beaumount were initially scheduled to begin their final junior season at the Armenian stop on the Junior Grand Prix circuit.[27] However, when that was cancelled as a result of the Azerbaijan invasion of Armenia, they were reassigned elsewhere.[28][29] Instead, their first event was the first of two Polish Junior Grand Prixes held in Gdańsk.[30] They won the gold medal there, setting three new personal best scores. Bashynska commented on the delay, saying, "we're pretty lucky that we motivate each other every day. So even when we found out about the cancellation, we were able to push through and keep sharp for this competition."[31] Competing at the second Polish event the following weekend, they won their second gold medal, improving their rhythm dance and total scores and securing qualification to the Junior Grand Prix Final. Bashynska noted the significance of her Ukrainian grandparents being able to be in attendance for both events.[32]

At the Junior Grand Prix Final in Torino, Bashynska/Beaumont finished first in the rhythm dance after pre-event favourites Mrázková/Mrázek of the Czech Republic had a double-fall in their Argentine tango pattern dance.[33] They won the free dance as well, taking the gold medal and becoming the first Canadian dancers to medal at the event since Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir in 2005. Bashynska remarked, "we were aiming to win obviously, but actually winning is like 'Oh my gosh,' I don't know how else to describe. It feels surreal." Both noted that the World Junior Championships were being held in Calgary at the end of the season, saying they were looking forward to trying to win that title on home soil.[34] Their training mates Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier won gold in the senior Grand Prix Final on the same day.[35]

Heavy favourites for the national title going in, they broke Lajoie/Lagha's national junior records at the 2023 Canadian Junior Championships and took the gold medal.[36] They were subsequently named to compete at the 2023 World Junior Championships.[37]

At the World Junior Championships in Calgary, Bashynska/Beaumont entered as one of the title favourites based on their season to date, but encountered problems in the rhythm dance, stumbling in the first pattern segment, on which they received only a level 1. They earned a level 2 on the second set. As a result, they finished fourth in the segment, 0.89 points behind third-place Britons Bekker/Hernandez.[38][39] They skated more cleanly in the free dance, albeit with Beaumont losing a twizzle level, but rose to third place in the segment and were narrowly third overall by 0.06 points, after Bekker/Hernandez took a one-point deduction for an extended lift. They earned their second Junior World bronze. On the subject of the move to the senior level, Bashynska said they were "looking forward to showing a new side of ourselves, obviously stepping up our game."[40][41]

2023–24 season: Senior debut

[edit]

For their first senior programs, Bashynska and Beaumont initially contemplated a Twilight-themed free program, and subsequently one to Ludwig Minkus' La Bayadère, both of which their coaches opposed. They ultimately agreed on a Romeo and Juliet program, incorporating music from both Nino Rota's 1968 film score and Sergei Prokofiev's 1940 ballet.[42][43]

Bashynska/Beaumont made their international senior debut on the Challenger circuit at the 2023 CS Nepela Memorial, coming in seventh. She afterward said the experience was "way more satisfying than I thought it was going to be which makes me really happy that we did so well. We're learning, and this was the first year of many years ahead of us, and I think we can both agree that this is the first step towards a long process."[44] They were invited to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2023 Grand Prix of Espoo, where they finished in eighth place. Beaumont explained afterward that the team "came here with the goal of having clean and expressive performances. We did a lot of preparation for this event – the past three weeks have been really tough, so we’re really happy with how it went this weekend."[45]

Making their first appearance in the domestic senior category at the Skate Canada Challenge, Bashynska/Beaumont won the gold medal. Beaumont noted the proximity to the Finnish Grand Prix, saying "it was nice to come here and skate relatively clean programs," as they were "happy with how we did relative to how physically tired we are."[46] In their senior national championship debut at the 2024 edition in Calgary, Bashynska/Beaumont were fourth in the rhythm dance, but dropped to sixth after a fall in the free dance.[47]

Bashynska appeared as a costumed skater in Duolingo's 2024 April Fools Day video spoof of Disney on Ice.[48][49]

2024–25 season

[edit]

Bashynska/Beaumont started the season by finishing seventh at the 2024 Lake Placid Ice International. Going on to compete on the 2024-25 ISU Challenger Series, the duo finished seventh at the 2024 Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur.[6] Bashynka would later post a video to her YouTube channel following the event, saying that she had sprained her ankle while walking to the rink on the day of the free dance competition.[50]
