In June 2023, it was announced that Metelkina had former a new partnership with Luka Berulava and that they would train in Perm, Russia under Pavel Sliusarenko, Egor Zukroev, and Maxim Trankov. The team will compete next at the 2026 Winter Olympics. "Right now, the situation is very interesting," said Berulava of the upcoming Olympics. "It’s fascinating because there’s not a clear leader. There are six top teams and all together, and everyone is aiming for the gold medal. Each of us, each athlete, we all have the same goal." Two days later, they placed second in the free skate and Team Georgia finished in fourth place overall. The following day, the pair skated a clean free program aside from Metelkina stepping out of the throw triple loop, placing second in that segment and winning the silver medal overall. "It is a huge honor, and I am incredibly happy that our names are now written as the first Georgians to win a medal at the Olympic Winter Games. It’s a huge honor. It was a long path for us, and we are unbelievably happy about it," said Berulava following the result. "I hope that after us, a big team will develop in Georgia — that we will have second, third, fourth pairs, and that there will be competition inside the country. After the end of my career, I want to take care of this, because I love figure skating and I want to do everything to develop pair skating in Georgia."

On March 26, 2026, Metelkina/Berulava made history by becoming the first Georgian pair team to earn a world medal (silver) at the 2026 World Figure Skating Championships. They placed second in the short program and fourth in the free skate. "I’m very happy because this is our first medal at the World Championships and also that we ended the season on a high note," said Metelkina. "There’s a medal and there are a lot of emotions. This season, I really want to thank everybody who was part of our preparation—our coaches, our federation. We tried our best and we will continue to try our best."
