Elizabet Tursynbaeva was born on February 14, 2000, in Moscow, Russia, to Kazakh parents. She began her figure skating journey at the age of five, following in her older brother Timur’s footsteps. During her early career, she was coached by Natalia Dubinskaya and Alexander Shubin, and briefly by Elena Buianova and Svetlana Sokolovskaya before training under Eteri Tutberidze. Throughout her formative years, Tursynbaeva also developed musical talents, learning to play the violin and piano, and attended a special music school in Moscow. Her family relocated to Toronto, Canada, in May 2015, where she was homeschooled and continued her training. In 2018, she moved back to Moscow. Speaking both Russian and English, Tursynbaeva is affectionately known as “Lilbet” by her fans due to her small stature.
Tursynbaeva made her international junior debut in the 2013–2014 season, earning a silver medal at her first ISU Junior Grand Prix event in Minsk, Belarus, in September 2013, and later taking gold at the 2014 Triglav Trophy. Her senior international debut followed in the 2015–2016 season, where she secured a silver medal at the 2015 U.S. Classic and won gold at the 2015 Skate Canada Autumn Classic. A significant highlight came in the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics in Hamar, Norway, where she earned a bronze medal. She also delivered strong performances at the 2017 Asian Winter Games, securing a bronze medal, and finishing 9th at the 2017 World Championships, which helped qualify two spots for Kazakhstan in the 2018 Winter Olympics. Tursynbaeva participated in the 2018 Winter Olympics, placing 12th in the Women’s Singles event.
Her career peaked in the 2018–2019 season, following a return to coach Eteri Tutberidze. She earned silver medals at both the 2019 Four Continents Championships and the 2019 Winter Universiade. The most notable achievement of this period was at the 2019 World Championships in Saitama, where she earned a silver medal. During this event, Tursynbaeva made history by successfully landing a quadruple Salchow, becoming the first female skater to achieve a quadruple jump in senior international competition. This milestone solidified her place in figure skating history. However, persistent back injuries led to her withdrawal from subsequent competitions in the 2019–2020 season, and she officially announced her retirement from competitive skating on September 20, 2021, to focus on developing figure skating in Kazakhstan.
