Anna Frolova was born on 7 August 2005 in Mytishchi, Russia.
Career
Early years
Frolova began learning how to skate in 2010 at the age of five. Her first figure skating coach was Irina Strakhova. At the age of eleven, she began training under Svetlana Panova at SSh “Snezhnye Barsy” in Moscow.
2019–20 season: Junior international debut and Winter Youth Olympics bronze medal
In December, Frolova competed at the 2020 Russian Championships, placing seventh in the short program and fifth in the free skate to climb to sixth place overall. Prior to the event, Frolova transferred to the CSKA Moscow where Sergei Davydov became her new coach.
As the first alternate, she was called up to compete at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland following the withdrawal of Viktoria Vasilieva. In the girls' singles event, Frolova placed third in the short program and fourth in the free skate to win the bronze medal overall behind You Young and Kseniia Sinitsyna. She was also selected to compete in the team event for Team Future, composed of Frolova, men's single skater Matteo Nalbone of Italy, Chinese pair team Wang/Huang, and Ukrainian ice dance team Cherniavska/Muratov for the mixed-NOC team trophy. Frolova finished second in the ladies event and the team placed seventh overall.
Frolova subsequently finished her season with a fifth-place finish at the 2021 Russian Cup Final.
2021–2022 season: Injury
Frolova did not compete during the 2021–22 season due to a stress fracture in her foot. “I had a number of stress fractures in my foot. I felt completely helpless" said Frolova. Due to her injury, Frolova was excluded from Olympic team contention.
In early March, the ISU banned all figure skaters and officials representing Russia and Belarus from attending the World Championships and international competitions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February.
2023–2024 season: Russian Grand Prix Final silver medal
During the off-season, Frolova made the decision to move to Saint Petersburg and train at SShOR under Evgeni Rukavicin. She cited that the reason behind her decision was the desire to train in an environment with other young adult women's singles skaters like herself.
On 30 June 2026, the International Skating Union announced that figure skaters from Russia and Belarus would be allowed to compete at international competitions as Individual Neutral Athletes (AINs). Each of these skaters are required to undergo an individual assessment conducted by the ISU Council to determine whether they meet the criteria for neutral status. Frolova's application was approved, making her eligible to compete internationally as a neutral athlete.
Frolova opened her season by competing at the 2026 Kinoshita Group Cup, winning the bronze medal behind Alexandra Trusova and Mao Shimada. Frolova followed this by winning bronze at the 2026 Trialeti Trophy. She experienced some jumping errors in her free skate and expressed slight disappointment; "To be honest, today I completely ruined everything I might have worked for over the past three years. It's very upsetting and shameful that I let down the people who worked with me, who believed in me, and that I let myself down too. Everyone is used to me skating cleanly. I hoped that this tournament would be no exception."
