Personal life

Justyna Plutowska was born 27 June 1991 in Gdynia, Poland.[1] Her father is a figure skating coach.[2]

Career

Plutowska began figure skating at the age of three or four.[2] After starting out in singles, she turned to ice dancing when she was about 12 or 13.[3] Early in her career, she skated with Mateusz Krupowies before teaming up with Dawid Pietrzyński. Plutowska/Pietrzyński won the 2009 and 2010 Polish national junior title and competed at the 2009 World Junior Championships where they finished 27th.

Plutowska teamed up with Peter Gerber in June 2012.[3] They were coached by Igor Shpilband in Novi, Michigan[2] and represented GKS Stoczniowiec Gdańsk.[4] Plutowska/Gerber made their debut at the 2012 U.S. International Classic, finishing eighth. They took the silver medal at the 2013 Polish Championships and placed 27th at the 2013 World Championships.

In the 2013–14 season, Plutowska/Gerber placed 9th at the U.S. International Classic before competing at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy, the final Olympic qualifier. They were 14th in the short dance and 8th in the free dance, finishing 10th overall at Nebelhorn and becoming second alternates for a spot at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Plutowska/Gerber won their first international medal, bronze, at the 2013 Finlandia Trophy one week later. They reached the free dance at the 2014 European Championships in Bratislava and finished 16th overall. After taking gold at the 2014 Bavarian Open in February, the two competed at the 2014 World Championships, held in Saitama, Japan in March, and finished 22nd. Their partnership ended in early May 2014, when Plutowska decided to leave skating for personal reasons.
