Daria and Latifa enrolled together as students at U-Tech Preparatory Academy, and both have joyful smiles. They also share intentionality, a passion for figure skating, and Olympic dreams.
Daria and Latifa, who began figure skating at age three and four, respectively, possess the talent and discipline that has led them to worldwide competitions, where they are succeeding. Latifa is the reigning champion of Uzbekistan, and Daria is the Vice Champion of Spain in their skating categories.
Figure skating is their way of life. For Latifa, her programs provide an essential outlet for emotional expression. Daria loves displaying speed and elegant lines while competing.
