Maxim Pavlovich Kovtun (Russian: Максим Павлович Ковтун; born 18 June 1995) is a Russian figure skater. He is a three-time European medalist (silver in 2015 and 2017, bronze in 2016) and three-time (2014, 2015, 2016) Russian national champion. On the junior level, he is the 2012 JGP Final champion. Kovtun is one of the few skaters to have landed two quad jumps in a short program, three quads in a free program, and five in total.
Maxim Pavlovich Kovtun was born 18 June 1995 in Yekaterinburg. His two older brothers formerly competed in figure skating and his father, Pavel, is a skating coach and former pair skater.
Taken to the ice rink by his father, Kovtun began skating at age four in Yekaterinburg and was coached mainly by Maria Voitsekhovskaia in his early years. He also trained in ice hockey but chose skating at age ten.
In the spring of 2011, Kovtun began training with Nikolai Morozov. He debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) circuit in the 2011–12 season, winning gold at his first event in Romania and then silver in Estonia. He qualified for the 2011–12 JGP Final where he finished fourth. At the 2012 Russian Championships, Kovtun finished 12th on the senior level and won the bronze medal on the junior level. He was assigned to the 2012 World Team Trophy—his first senior international event—following Sergei Voronov's injury-related withdrawal. He finished 12th at the event.
