With partner Dmitri Soloviev, she is the 2013 World bronze medalist, 2013 European champion, a two-time (2011–2012) European silver medalist, the 2007 World Junior champion, and a five-time (2011–2014, 2016) Russian national champion. They are also gold medalists at two Grand Prix events, the 2010 Cup of Russia and 2011 Cup of China.

Career

Early career

Bobrova teamed up with Soloviev in 2000.[11] Elena Kustarova and Svetlana Alexeeva were their coaches from the beginning of their partnership.[12] At the 2007 World Junior Championships, Bobrova/Soloviev placed first in the compulsory dance,[13] original dance,[14] and free dance,[15] and won the gold medal.[16]

2007–2012

Bobrova/Soloviev competed at their first senior Worlds in 2008, where they placed 13th. The following season they were not selected for the event.

During the 2009–10 season, Bobrova/Soloviev won the silver medal at 2010 Russian Nationals in December 2009, earning them their first berth to the European Championships in January 2010, where they placed 9th. They also qualified for the Olympics the following month where they finished in 15th. They also competed at their second World Championships and climbed to 8th in the rankings.

During the 2010–11 season, Bobrova/Soloviev won their first medal on the senior Grand Prix series – a silver at Cup of China. At their next event, 2010 Cup of Russia, they won their first senior Grand Prix title. In doing so, they qualified for their first senior Grand Prix Final, where they finished fourth.

At the 2011 Russian Championships, Bobrova/Soloviev finished first in both the short dance[17] and the free dance to win their first national title.[18] Following the event, they decided to drop their Delilah short dance in favor of a new one to Where I Want to Be which they debuted at the 2011 European Championships.[19][20] They won their first medal at the event, silver.[21] At the 2011 World Championships, they came in 6th.

In 2011–12, Bobrova/Soloviev won the gold medal at their first Grand Prix event of the season, 2011 Cup of China, with a score of 163.52 after placing first in both the short dance and in the free dance. They took the bronze medal at their next event, 2011 Cup of Russia, and then finished sixth at the Grand Prix Final. They repeated as Russian national champions and European silver medalists. Bobrova/Soloviev finished 7th at the 2012 World Championships.

2012–2013 season

On 25 April 2012, Bobrova/Soloviev changed coaches to Alexander Zhulin and Oleg Volkov.[22][23][24] They said they were learning a different technique, as well as changing their style.[25] In their 2012–13 free dance, Soloviev plays the insane lover of Bobrova who herself begins to slip into insanity as he starts to recover.[26][27] On the short dance, Soloviev said: "The story is that we are at a ball. In the beginning, we meet and have a dance together. The first part, the polka, is very playful, but when the music changes into the waltz, that's when we fall in love with each other and it's getting more serious. In the end, we realize that we can't be together because I'm too old and she is a young girl."[28]

Bobrova/Soloviev started the 2012–13 season with gold at the 2012 Finlandia Trophy.[29] Winning silver at both of their Grand Prix assignments, the 2012 Skate America and 2012 Cup of China, they qualified for the 2012 Grand Prix Final in Sochi, Russia. After a fall from Soloviev in their free dance, they finished 5th overall behind Italian ice dancers Anna Cappellini / Luca Lanotte. At the 2013 Russian Championships, they won their third national title.

Bobrova/Soloviev won the gold medal in their fourth appearance at the European Championships, narrowly edging out their teammates Elena Ilinykh / Nikita Katsalapov. They stepped onto the World podium for the first time at the 2013 World Championships in London, Ontario where they won the bronze medal.[30] Named in the Russian team to the 2013 World Team Trophy, they withdrew after Soloviev aggravated a groin injury on 1 April and was told to rest for at least ten days.[31] During this time, Bobrova decided to assist Volkov in coaching young ice dancers.[32]

2013–2014 season

Competing on the 2013–14 ISU Grand Prix series, Bobrova/Soloviev won silver at the 2013 Cup of China and gold at the 2013 Rostelecom Cup before finishing fourth at the 2013 Grand Prix Final, behind Nathalie Pechalat / Fabian Bourzat. They won their fourth consecutive national title at the 2014 Russian Championships. Feeling their free dance was not working, they decided to return to the one from the previous season.[33]

In February 2014, Bobrova/Soloviev competed at the Winter Olympics in Sochi. In the team event, they placed third in their assigned segment, the short dance, and Russia went on to win the gold medal. Bobrova decided to sell the car she was awarded and donate the money to a children's charity.[34] Bobrova/Soloviev ranked fifth in the separate ice dancing event. A month later, they traveled to Saitama, Japan for the 2014 World Championships. On 28 March, Soloviev sustained a groin injury during the morning practice before the short dance, causing them to withdraw.[35] He returned to the ice cautiously in the second week of April.[33]

2014-2015 season

For the 2014-2015 Grand Prix season, Bobrova/Soloviev were assigned to Skate America and Trophee Bompard, However they later withdrew from both assignments after Soloviev underwent knee surgery from his injury. Bobrova/Soloviev decided to sit out for the remaining of the season to recover from Soliviev's injury.[36]

2015–2016 season

For the 2015–16 season, They were assigned to two 2015–16 ISU Grand Prix series. They returned to competition at the 2015 Skate Canada where they won the bronze medal. In their next event, they won silver at the 2015 NHK Trophy. These results qualified them for the last placement for the 2015-16 Grand Prix Final edging out compatriots Victoria Sinitsina / Nikita Katsalapov. They finished 5th at the 2015-16 Grand Prix Final in Barcelona, Spain. On December 24-27, Bobrova / Soloviev claimed their sixth National title at the 2016 Russian Championships held in Ekaterinburg, Russia.
