Career

Early years

Polibina began learning to skate in 2004.[1]

In 2015, she teamed up with Radosław Barszczak to compete for Poland in ice dancing. The two made their international debut in September, placing 17th at an ISU Junior Grand Prix event in Toruń, Poland.

2017–18 season

Polibina/Barszczak's senior debut came in November 2017, at the Volvo Open Cup in Riga, Latvia. Later that month, they placed 12th at two ISU Challenger Series events — the 2017 CS Warsaw Cup and 2017 CS Tallinn Trophy. In December, they finished ninth at the Santa Claus Cup in Hungary, and then took bronze at the Polish Championships.

2020–21 season

Polibina teamed up with Russian ice dancer Pavel Golovishnikov to skate for Poland. The two decided to train in Toruń under Sylwia Nowak-Trębacka. In December 2020, they became the Polish national silver medalists at the Four Nationals in Cieszyn. They had no appearances at ISU events in their first season together.

2021–22 season

In October 2021, Polibina/Golovishnikov placed fourth at the Mezzaluna Cup in Italy and then won bronze at the Viktor Petrenko Cup in Odesa, Ukraine. In November, they finished 13th at the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup.

In December, competing at Four Nationals, they repeated as national silver medalists. They were assigned to the 2022 European Championships but withdrew before the event due to a positive test for SARS-CoV-2.[2] They placed 28th at the 2022 World Championships, which took place in March in Montpellier, France.

2022–23 season

In November, Polibina/Golovishnikov took silver at the NRW Trophy in Germany. In December, they won gold at the Bosphorus Cup in Turkey and then claimed the Polish national title at the Four National Championships hosted by Hungary.[3] They were subsequently nominated to compete at the 2023 European Championships in Espoo, Finland.
