Anastasiia Kostyantinivna Arkhypova (Ukrainian: Анастасія Костянтинівна Архипова; born 29 December 2003) is a Ukrainian figure skater. She is a two-time Ukrainian national senior champion (2018, 2019). She placed 13th at the 2018 World Junior Championships.

Personal life

Arkhypova was born on December 29, 2003.

In March 2022, she publicly criticized Russian-born Ukrainian figure skater, Anastasiia Shabotova for liking an Instagram post made by Evgeni Plushenko that spoke in favour of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Following this incident, Shabotova was ultimately expelled from the Ukrainian national team by order of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine. In February 2023, Arkhypova also went on to condemn Russian federal sports channel, Match TV, for using a skating picture of her on live TV during a sit-down interview with Alexandra Trusova without her knowledge or consent.

Career

Early years

Arkhypova began learning to skate in 2006 at the age of three. As a young child, she was coached by Olena Mihotina. She won silver at two consecutive Ukrainian Junior Championships, placing second to Anastasia Gozhva in the 2015–2016 season and Sofiia Nesterova the following season.

2017–2018 season

Arkhypova began competing internationally, coached by Maryna Amirkhanova in Kyiv. It was her first season of age-eligibility for junior-level ISU competitions. Making her ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut, she placed 7th in Riga (Latvia) in September 2017 and had the same result in Gdańsk (Poland) the following month. In December, she won the Ukrainian national senior title ahead of defending champion Anna Khnychenkova.

Arkhypova also took gold at the Ukrainian Junior Championships in January 2018 and in the junior ladies' event at the Toruń Cup in February. In March, she qualified to the final segment at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. Ranked 10th in the short program and 16th in the free skate, she finished 13th overall.

2018–2019 season

Arkhypova began her season at the 2018 JGP in Kaunas, Lithuania. She finished fourth overall in the event, and set new personal bests in both the short and the free program as well as in overall competition score.

Arkhypova was scheduled to compete at JGP Armenia but was forced to withdraw due to a knee injury that she sustained in practice. As a result, she had to undergo surgery, which she set up a GoFundMe to help pay for.

She would also go on to take gold at the 2019 Ukrainian Championships, winning her second senior national title.

2019–2020 season

Arkhypova placed twelfth in both of her assignments on the Junior Grand Prix, the 2019 JGP Latvia and 2019 JGP Croatia.

2020–2021 season

Competing on both the senior and junior level at the 2021 Ukrainian Championships, Arkhypova finished fourth at both events.

She made her senior World debut at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm, placing thirty-fifth.
