Russian rhythmic gymnastics star Alexandra Soldatova has been fully enjoying her Christmas holidays swapping traditional carpet for cold ice as she tried out figure skating elements on a skating rink.
The four-time world and European gold medalist, who was apparently inspired by the Russian skaters’ sensational performances at the national championship, put on a pair of skates to virtuously demonstrate her jaw-dropping flexibility on the ice.
“My happy face. Finally I came to the skating rink,” Soldatova wrote on her Instagram page while also posting a picture where she makes gorgeous splits with one leg raised up in the air.

The gymnast’s followers praised Soldatova for her “skating skills” joking that she might be a good candidate to join the national figure skating team.
The 21-year-old, who is pursuing her Olympic dream, will have to go through a tough selection to earn a spot on the team this coming summer.
