We know that Katia Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov's daughter skates. Does she compete? Are the children of other famous skaters working their way up the ranks of eligible skating?

Sasah Zulin the little daughter of Tatiania Navka and Alexander Zulin has started to skate.
Meribel Vinson Owens two daughters skated and were national champions.

First as the pair...then Katya picking up after 1996...then Daria after her mother stopped competing. If I recall correctly from Katya's book, her singles results as a child weren't as good as Daria's!
lulu said:Um, when did Katia ever mention her singles skating results?
If I recall correctly, she has never mentioned her results as a singles skater in My Sergei, or any other interview.
In fact she started pairs skating around the age of 11 or so.
While she did start out as a single skater (as most pairs skaters do) she as far as I know, as never entered a competition with the results mentioned in My Sergei.
Of course, I could be wrong.
