Polina Sergeyevna Shelepen (Russian: Полина Серге́евна Шелепень; born 28 July 1995) is a figure skater. She is a two-time (2009, 2011) JGP Final silver medalist and a two-time (2011, 2012) Russian national junior silver medalist. She competed for Russia through 2012.
Polina Shelepen was born 28 July 1995 in Moscow, Russia.
Shelepen began skating at the age of four-and-a-half, instructed by her first coach Eteri Tutberidze. She learned her first triple, a Salchow, at eleven years old and would later attempt a quadruple Salchow in practice. In 2011, she told an interviewer that her mother took her to the rink because she "didn't like to go to kindergarten because there everyone had to eat a cream of wheat".
In the 2009–10 season, Shelepen won her two Junior Grand Prix assignments and qualified for the 2009–10 Junior Grand Prix Final where she won silver. She then competed at the 2010 World Junior Championships and finished 4th.
Ahead of the 2010-11 season, Shelepen grew ten cm, resulting in some coordination problems. She won gold at the JGP in France, bronze in the Czech Republic, and finished 5th at the 2010 Junior Grand Prix Final. At the 2011 Russian Championships, Shelepen finished 7th on the senior level and won silver on the junior level. She finished 7th at the 2011 World Junior Championships.
In the 2011–12 season, Shelepen continued on the Junior Grand Prix, winning events in Latvia and Romania to qualify for the 2011–12 Junior Grand Prix Final. She won the silver medal at the Final. At the 2012 Russian Championships, she finished 10th on the senior level and won another silver medal on the junior level. Originally the first alternate for the 2012 World Junior Championships, Shelepen was named to replace Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, who withdrew from the competition. At the event, Shelepen ranked 12th in the short program and 4th in the free skate, finishing 6th overall.
