Quick Scoop: Katya Alexandrovskaya and Harley Windsor were a figure- skating pair who had real success on the ice, but their partnership ended in early 2020 after Katya’s health problems, including epilepsy, made continuing impossible. Katya later died by suicide in July 2020, while Harley has continued his skating career with new partners.

What happened

  • Their partnership ended. Katya’s health and mental health struggles had been building, and she retired from skating in early 2020.
  • Katya died in 2020. Reports say she died by suicide on July 18, 2020, at age 20.
  • Harley kept skating. After the split, Harley Windsor continued competing and later partnered with other skaters.

Why people are talking about it

The story resurfaced because of the documentary Harley & Katya, which revisits their rise, the pressure they faced, and the tragedy that followed.
