With former partner [[Nikita Katsalapov]], she is a 2014 Olympic champion in the [[Figure skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics – Team trophy|team event]], a 2014 Olympic bronze medalist in [[Figure skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics – Ice dancing|ice dancing]], a three-time [[European Figure Skating Championships|European]] medalist (silver in 2013 and 2014; bronze in 2012), and the 2010 [[World Junior Figure Skating Championships|World Junior]] champion.

== Personal life ==
Elena Ilinykh was born in [[Aktau|Aktau (Shevchenko)]], [[Kazakhstan]] and raised in [[Moscow]], Russia.

==Early skating career==
As a child, Ilinykh trained in [[single skating]], under Natalia Dubinskaya, until her mother decided she should try [[ice dancing]].<ref name=SE140507/> She was paired with [[Nikita Katsalapov]], who had trained in the same singles group.<ref name=SE140507/> [[Irina Lobacheva]] and [[Ilia Averbukh]] were the team's first coaches.<ref name=goal/>

In 2005, Ilinykh/Katsalapov attended a training camp under [[Alexander Zhulin]] — who was preparing [[Tatiana Navka]] / [[Roman Kostomarov]] for their Olympic gold-medal winning season — but split soon after.<ref name=goal/> In 2010, Ilinykh said that they were too young at the time to understand partnership.<ref name=goal/> She left Russia and trained in [[Marina Zueva]] and [[Igor Shpilband]]'s group in [[Canton Charter Township, Michigan|Canton, Michigan]] for two years without a partner.<ref name=goal/>

At some point, she had a brief partnership with [[Ivan Bukin]], the son of 1988 Olympic ice dancing champion [[Andrei Bukin]].<ref name=ISU-1314/>

== Renewed partnership with Katsalapov ==

===Junior career===
In spring 2008,<ref name=ISU-1011/> Ilinykh returned to Moscow after Katsalapov expressed interest in reuniting with her. He organized tryouts with her and other skaters at around the same time before making a final decision.<ref name=SE140507/>

Ilinykh/Katsalapov rejoined Zhulin and began competing together in the 2008–09 season, placing fourth at the [[2009 Russian Figure Skating Championships|Russian Junior Championships]].<ref name=ISU-1011/> Their international debut came in the [[2009–10 figure skating season|2009–10 season]]. After winning gold medals at their [[2009–10 ISU Junior Grand Prix|Junior Grand Prix]] events in [[Budapest]] and [[Torun]], they qualified to the [[2009–10 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final|JGP Final]], where they took the silver medal behind [[Ksenia Monko]] / [[Kirill Khaliavin]]. Though second also at the [[2010 Russian Figure Skating Championships|Russian Junior Championships]], Ilinykh/Katsalapov outscored Monko/Khaliavin for the gold at the [[2010 World Junior Figure Skating Championships|2010 World Junior Championships]].

===2010–11 season===
For the [[2010–11 figure skating season|2010–11 season]], Ilinykh/Katsalapov chose a ballet-themed free dance to ''[[Don Quixote (ballet)|Don Quixote]]'': "[Zhulin] wanted us to do something classical Russian, and only very few people have done a real ballet program in dance."<ref name=eurofd11/> Ilinykh's tutu was made at the [[Bolshoi Theatre|Bolshoi]].<ref name=eurofd11/> They made their senior debut at the [[2010 NHK Trophy]] where they finished fourth.
