She became Israel's national champion, competed in three World Championships, and participated in the European Championship. Ignelnik credits her coach, Svetlana Zugareva, for her achievements.
Transition to Dance
Despite her success in gymnastics, Ignelnik felt a desire to pursue something new. She had always loved dancing and, inspired by the "Nolad Lirkod" competition, decided to audition. Despite having no formal dance training, she advanced through the rigorous selection process and became a contestant.
Winning "Nolad Lirkod"
Ignelnik's performances in the competition captivated audiences with her grace, athleticism, and passion. However, a foot injury threatened her chances of winning. With the support of Dr. Mark Rasnovsky, she overcame the setback and continued to compete.
In a dramatic final, Ignelnik emerged victorious, overcoming the pain and fear that almost derailed her journey. Her victory was a surprise to many, including herself, and it marked a major turning point in her life.

After the competition, Ignelnik's life changed drastically. She became a celebrity, inspired a new generation of aspiring dancers, and received an award to study at an American dance academy. She is currently living in New York, pursuing her education in dance.
Despite her newfound fame, Ignelnik remains humble and grateful for the support she received from the Russian-speaking Israeli community during her journey. She plans to return to Israel after completing her studies and continue to pursue her career there.
