Harley Windsor (born Harley Dahlstrom-Winsor; 22 October 1996) is an Australian pair skater. With his skating partner, Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya, he is the 2017 World Junior champion and 2017 Australian national champion.
Harley Dahlstrom-Winsor was born on 22 October 1996 in Penrith, New South Wales, and was raised in Rooty Hill. He is of Australian Aboriginal descent and has six siblings. His mother, Josie, is from the Weilwyn and Gamilaraay people, and his father, Peter, is of Gamilaraay and Ngarrable descent.
Windsor began skating in 2005 after an ice rink in Blacktown caught his interest. Galina and Andrei Pachin began coaching him in Canterbury in late 2006. After competing in singles, he began learning pairs and passing qualifying tests with partners from New South Wales and Queensland.
Responding to a query from the Pachins, Russia-based coach Nina Mozer suggested a tryout between Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya and Windsor, who arrived in Moscow around January 2016. Alexandrovskaya was released by Russia after a request from the Australian skating association, with help from Mozer. The pair is coached by the Pachins in Sydney and by Andrei Hekalo and Nina Mozer in Moscow.
Alexandrovskaya/Windsor's international debut came in early September 2016 at the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Ranked 6th in the short program and 9th in the free skate, the pair finished 8th overall. Later that month, the two competed at a JGP event in Tallinn, Estonia. They were awarded the gold medal ahead of three Russian pairs after placing third in the short and first in the free. They finished as the first substitutes for the JGP Final in Marseille, France.
