Ekaterina "Katia" Dmitriyevna Alexandrovskaya (Russian: Екатерина Дмитриевна Александровская) and Harley Windsor (born Harley Dahlstrom-Winsor) are Australian pair skaters. Ekaterina was born on 1 January 2000 in Moscow, Russia. Harley was born on 22 October 1996 in Penrith, New South Wales, Australia. Ekaterina died in July 2020.
They are the 2017 World Junior champions and the 2017–18 Junior Grand Prix Final champions. On the senior level, they are the 2017 CS Tallinn Trophy champions, 2017 CS Nebelhorn Trophy bronze medalists, and 2018 Australian national champions.They became the first Australian skaters to win an ISU Championship (2017 World Junior Championships), the first to win a JGP event (2016 Tallinn Cup) and to qualify for the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. They are also the first Australian team to finish on a podium at Junior Worlds since 1976, when Elizabeth Cain/Peter Cain took the pairs' bronze medal.
Before teaming up with Harley (December 2015), Ekaterina skated with Vladislav Lysoy and Aleksandr Epifanov. Since both of Harley's parents have Australian Aboriginal roots, he is the first Indigenous Australian to have competed at any Winter Olympics, placing 18th at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
They were last coached by Andrei Khekalo. Their previous coaches include: Richard Gauthier and Bruno Marcotte, Andrei and Galina Pachin, and Nina Mozer.
