Elizabet Tursynbayeva (born 14 February 2000) is a Kazakh figure skater. She is the 2017 Asian Winter Games bronze medalist, the 2016 Winter Youth Olympic bronze medalist and two-time Kazakhstan national champion (2015–16).
Elizabet Tursynbayeva was born on 14 February 2000 in Moscow, Russia. She is the daughter of Pashakan Sultanalieva and Baitak Tursynbayev. Her family is originally from Kazakhstan. Her brother, Timur Tursynbayev, who is two years older than her, is a two-time Kazakhstan national figure skating champion. Tursynbaeva is a professional violinist and can also play the piano. She attended a special music school in Moscow. She and her mother settled in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in May 2015, where she is currently home-schooled. Tursynbaeva speaks Russian and English.
Tursynbayeva started skating at the age of five after following her brother, Timur, into figure skating. Her figure skating idols are Kim Yuna, Mao Asada, and Carolina Kostner. As a child, she was coached by Natalia Dubinskaya and Alexander Shubin. She was also briefly coached by Elena Buianova and Svetlana Sokolovskaya from 2011 to 2012, before switching to Eteri Tutberidze.
Tursynbayeva made her first international appearance for Kazakhstan at the Rooster Cup in April 2011. After finishing 13th at the 2013 Russian Junior Championships, she decided to continue representing Kazakhstan. Her coaching relationship with Tutberidze ended in 2013 because Russian coaches no longer had the right to work with non-Russian skaters during the 2014 Olympic season. Having difficulty finding a coach in Russia, Tursynbaeva and her mother wrote a letter to Brian Orser, whom she had always wanted as a coach, and sent him videos of her, asking if he could coach her. Orser, impressed by her talent, responded that he would love to work with her.
