Maria Romanovna Sotskova (Russian: Мария Романовна Сотскова; born 12 April 2000) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2016 Youth Olympic silver medalist, the 2016 World Junior silver medalist, the 2013–14 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, and the 2017 Russian national bronze medalist.
Maria Romanovna Sotskova was born on 12 April 2000 in Reutov, Moscow Oblast, Russia. As a young child, she was engaged in both skating and rhythmic gymnastics but dropped gymnastics after her coach said that she needed to choose.
Sotskova began skating at the age of four after her mother decided to bring her to the ice rink. Her first coach was Svetlana Panova. Her figure skating idol is Carolina Kostner.
In the 2012–13 season, Sotskova won a bronze medal behind Serafima Sakhanovich at the 2013 Russian Junior Championships.
Sotskova made her junior international debut at the 2013–14 Junior Grand Prix (JGP) event in Riga, Latvia; she won the silver medal behind Evgenia Medvedeva by a margin of 3.03 points. At her next JGP assignment, in Ostrava, Czech Republic, she finished 2nd to Alexandra Proklova by over 15 points. Sotskova's silver medals qualified her for the JGP Final in Fukuoka, Japan, where she defeated teammates Sakhanovich and Medvedeva for the gold. She then took silver behind Sakhanovich at the 2014 Russian Junior Championships and was assigned to the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. She withdrew due to a meniscus injury.
