Career

Early years

Akhanteva began learning to skate in 2006.[1] She began competing with her first pair skating partner, Valerii Kolesov, in 2014.[2]

2016–2017 season

Coached by Vasilii Velikov in

Aleksandr Galiamov
.

2017–2018 season

In September, Akhanteva/Kolesov placed sixth at the 2017 JGP competition in Riga, Latvia. The pair had the same final result at the 2018 Russian Junior Championships, which took place in January in Saransk. In April, they took silver at the Russian Youth Championships – Elder Age, where they finished second to Amina Atakhanova / Nikita Volodin and ahead of Apollinariia Panfilova / Dmitry Rylov.

2018–2019 season

Coached by

2018–2019 Junior Grand Prix Final, where they placed fourth overall.[5] Akhanteva/Kolesov went on to compete at 2019 Russian Nationals, their first ever senior competition, and finished tenth there. Unfortunately they had to withdraw from the junior event after Akhanteva seriously injured her leg.[6]

2019–2020 season

Akhanteva/Kolesov started their season with a silver medal at the

Torino, where they won the bronze medal.[10][11]

Competing at the 2020 Russian Championships at the senior level, they placed tenth. Having then won the silver medal at the junior championships, they were named to Russia's team for the 2020 World Junior Championships. Second in the short program with a clean skate, Kolesov nevertheless said he felt it was not their best performance and stated their goal was to achieve a season's best result in the free.[12] In that segment, Akhanteva fell on both side-by-side jump attempts and put a foot and hand down on one of their two throw jumps, but they nevertheless remained in second place and won the silver medal overall due to errors by third- and fourth-place finishers Artemeva/Nazarychev and Hocke/Kunkel. Kolesov acknowledged "the performance was bad today. I don't know the reason, but the result is good, because the short program was good."[13]

2020–2021 season

Competing on the domestic Cup of Russia series, Akhanteva/Kolesov won the silver medal at the first stage in

Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Rostelecom Cup, finishing sixth among the seven teams.[15] They withdrew from the 2021 Russian Championships
at the senior level, and then won the junior silver medal later in the season.

2021–2022 season

With the resumption of the

Junior Grand Prix, Akhanteva/Kolesov competed at the 2021 JPG Slovakia. They placed second in the short program, but multiple falls in the free skate dropped them to fourth overall.[16]

On April 18, it was announced that Akhanteva and Kolesov had split.[17]
