Gleb Smolkin

Gleb Borisovich Smolkin (; , born 27 August 1999) is a Russian ice dancer who currently represents Georgia. With his skating partner and wife, Diana Davis, he 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 he 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 Smolkin was born on 27 August 1999 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He is the son of Russian actor and his wife, Svetlana. He has one half-brother, Vladimir.

During a hiatus from figure skating in 2014, Smolkin briefly played professional beach soccer as a member of the BSC Lokomotiv Moscow team.

Career Early years Smolkin began learning how to skate in 2004. He competed as a single skater until the 2014–15 season when he took a year-long hiatus from the sport. He returned to figure skating in November 2015 to compete as an ice dancer with his first partner, Ekaterina Mironova. The team competed together until spring of 2016 before parting ways. During the 2016–17 season Smolkin teamed up with Svetlana Lizunova, but the partnership was short-lived and lasted only a season before Smolkin began competing with his current partner, Diana Davis, coached by Svetlana Alexeeva and her team in Moscow. 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."

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.
