Vladimir Litvintsev

In January 2019, Litvintsev was named in Azerbaijan's team for the 2019 European Championships in Minsk, Belarus. He placed fourteenth in the short program and advanced to the final segment. Appearing at his first World Championships, he placed seventeenth.

Litvintsev suffered a leg injury over the summer that forced him to withdraw from both of his Challenger series assignments, the 2019 CS Ondrej Nepela Memorial and 2019 CS Ice Star. Making his Grand Prix debut at the 2019 Rostelecom Cup, he placed eleventh.

In October, making his international debut for Azerbaijan, Litvintsev finished 8th at the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Later that month, he made his first appearance in the senior ranks, winning the silver medal at the 2018 Minsk-Arena Ice Star, behind Latvia's Deniss Vasiļjevs and ahead of Armenia's Slavik Hayrapetyan. In November, he took gold at the 2018 Volvo Open Cup – his first senior title – by a margin of about nine points over silver medalist Mark Gorodnitsky. At his first Challenger series event, the 2018 CS Tallinn Trophy, he finished ninth overall after scoring personal bests in both the free program and overall.

Litvintsev began learning to skate in 2004, as a three-year-old. He trained at the CSKA Moscow sports club until January 2011 and then moved to Sambo 70, where he is coached by Alexei Chetverukhin, Vladimir Kotin, and Anastasia Kazakova.
