Skating career

Glebova started skating when she was five years old after watching her brother practice.[1] She trained in Estonia with coach Irina Kononova from the age of 5 to 12, and then with Anna Levandi for ten years.[2][3]

Glebova appeared at her first World Junior Championships in 2004 and debuted at the European and World Championships in 2005. In 2006, she competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, finishing 28th. In 2007, she achieved her best World Junior result, sixth in Oberstdorf. In 2010, she placed 21st at the Vancouver Olympics.

In 2011, Glebova moved from Estonia to Hackensack, New Jersey and began training with coaches Igor Krokavec and Craig Maurizi.[2][4] She placed 13th at the 2012 World Championships in Nice, France. The next season, she finished 16th at the 2013 World Championships in London, Ontario. Her result qualified a spot for Estonia in the ladies' event at the 2014 Olympics.

In the 2013–14 season, Glebova finished seventh at the European Championships in Budapest, the best result of her career. She placed 29th at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. She retired from competition in May 2014.[5][6][3]
