2019–20 season: Debut of Butaeva/Berulava, Youth Olympics medals The two made their debut for Georgia in September 2019, placing eighth at an
ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) event in
Poland 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." Later in the month, Berulava and ice dancer,
Diana Davis, were announced to have been selected as the flag bearers for the opening ceremony at the upcoming Olympic Games. On 6 February, Metelkina/Berulava placed second in the short program in the
2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event. "It was a calm skate, a good warm up," said Metelkina. "We are confident and our coaches and our federation has confidence in us, too. We can do it all and practices were excellent. We had a very good week of training before the Olympic Games, therefore we went out calmly and did what we know we can do." 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." Berulava and alpine skiier,
Nino Tsiklauri, were subsequently selected as Georgia's flag bearers for the Olympic closing ceremony. 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. The 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.” == Programs ==
