About Diana Davis
Born 2003. Diana Davis is a Russian ice dancer.
Diana Sergeevna Davis (, ; born 16 January 2003) is an American-Georgian ice dancer who currently represents Georgia. With her skating partner and husband, Gleb Smolkin, she is a seven-time Challenger Series medalist (including four gold) and represented Georgia at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Davis and Smolkin formerly represented Russia, where she is the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup champion, the 2022 Russian national silver medalist, and represented Russia at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
On the junior level, Davis/Smolkin are the 2020 Russian junior national bronze medalists, finished in the top five at the 2020 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, and competed at the 2019–20 Junior Grand Prix Final.
Personal life Davis was born on 16 January 2003 in Las Vegas, Nevada, but was raised in Moscow, Russia. She is a citizen of both the United States and Georgia. She is the only child of Georgian and Russian single skating coach Eteri Tutberidze.
As a toddler, Davis was diagnosed with third-degree sensorineural hearing loss caused by incorrectly prescribed antibiotics. She underwent medical treatment in Germany, but her hearing could not be fully restored. As a result of the disease, she has underdeveloped coordination and relies partially on lip reading to communicate. However, this disability does not affect her ability to hear music.
Career Early years Davis' mother, Eteri Tutberidze, took her to an ice rink for the first time when she was just 2 years old. Although Davis initially wanted to pursue synchronized swimming, she began training as a skater at the age of six as it was her only opportunity to spend time with her mother. They subsequently placed sixth at 2025 Finlandia Trophy.
In January, Davis/Smolkin competed at the 2026 European Championships, finishing in sixth place overall. "I think we’ve achieved our goals for this competition," said Smolkin. “We can do better, but our coaches are very pleased with both programs. It’s by far the best of the season so far." Later in the month, Davis and pair skater, Luka Berulava, were announced to have been selected as the flag bearers for the opening ceremony at the upcoming Olympic Games.
On 6 February, Davis/Smolkin competed in the rhythm dance for Team Georgia at the 2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event, placing sixth. "It’s been great," said Smolkin following their performance. "I mean, in general, it’s been a bit exhausting, so we are trying to manage our excitement. I think the performance was quite good. We know we can do a bit better." The following day, the team finished fourth in the free dance, adding points to Team Georgia's standing. “We had a couple of moments that we will have to check on, but I think this is good before the individual event,” said Smolkin. “We were doing what we were training for, and now what happens now is out of our control. We know what we are capable of." They went on to compete in the free dance segment, placing fourth and Team Georgia ultimately finished in fourth place overall.
Two days later, Davis/Smolkin performed their free dance, placing eleventh in that segment and finishing in thirteenth place overall.
