Victoria Alexandrovna Sinitsina (Russian: Виктория Александровна Синицина; born 29 April 1995) is a Russian ice dancer. With Nikita Katsalapov, she is the 2016 Russian national silver medalist.
With former partner Ruslan Zhiganshin, she is the 2012 World Junior champion and won bronze medals at the 2013 Winter Universiade, 2012 Rostelecom Cup, and 2014 Russian Championships.
Sinitsina was born on 29 April 1995 in Moscow. Her father, Alexander Sinitsin, and aunt, Tatiana Sinitsina, are former gymnasts.
Often having tonsillitis as a child, Sinitsina was introduced to skating by her parents to improve her health. She took up ice dancing at age 10 and had one partner before Zhiganshin.
Sinitsina and Ruslan Zhiganshin met in a group led by Irina Lobacheva and Ilia Averbukh but soon joined Elena Kustarova and Svetlana Alexeeva. They trained mostly in Moscow. From 2010 to 2012, they also went to summer training camps in Ventspils, Latvia.
Sinitsina/Zhiganshin debuted on the Junior Grand Prix circuit at the 2008 Merano Cup where they finished sixth. The following JGP season, they placed fifth at both of their events.
