Saulius Ambrulevičius (born 10 June 1992) is a Lithuanian ice dancer. As a single skater, he is the 2007 and 2008 Lithuanian national champion.

With partner, Allison Reed, they are two-time Golden Spin of Zagreb silver medalists (2021, 2022), the 2022 CS Lombardia Trophy silver medalists, and the 2022 CS Nebelhorn Trophy silver medalists. They have finished in the top ten at the European Championships twice (2022, 2023), as well as at the World Championships (2022, 2023).[2]

With former ice dance partner, Taylor Tran, he is the 2015 Pavel Roman Memorial silver medalist and 2015 Lithuanian national champion. They qualified to the free dance at the 2017 European Championships.

Career

Single skating

Ambrulevičius was born in Kaunas and began learning to skate in 1998.[3] He won the Lithuanian senior title for the first time in 2007. His first major international competition was the 2007 Junior Worlds; he placed 45th in the short program and did not qualify for the free skate.

In the 2007–08 season, Ambrulevičius won his second national title. He competed in the 2008 Junior Worlds and once again placed last, this time 47th. He competed at the 2008 World Championships, where he finished 45th.

Partnership with Tran

Around July 2014,[4] Ambrulevičius teamed up with American skater Taylor Tran to compete in ice dancing for Lithuania. Their international debut came at the Tallinn Trophy in December 2014. At the Estonian event, they finished 5th and earned the minimum scores to appear at the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm.[4][5] They missed the cut for the free dance in Sweden and at the 2016 European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Tran/Ambrulevičius qualified to the final segment at the 2017 European Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic; they ranked 20th in the short dance, 17th in the free, and 18th overall. They announced the end of their partnership in April 2017, following the 2017 World Championships.[6]

Partnership with Reed

2017–18 season

In spring 2017, it was announced that Ambrulevičius had teamed up with American-born ice dancer, Allison Reed, and that they would represent Lithuania while coached by Marina Zueva, Johnny Johns, Massimo Scali, and Oleg Epstein.

They made their competitive debut at the 2017 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy, where they finished sixth. They then went on to place seventh at the 2017 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, fifth at the 2017 Santa Claus Cup, and eighth at the 2017 CS Tallinn Trophy.

Reed/Ambrulevičius won the gold medal at the 2017–18 Lithuanian Championships.

Selected to compete at the 2018 World Championships in Milan, Italy, Reed/Ambrulevičius finished twentieth overall.[7]

2018–19 season

Reed/Ambrulevičius began their season at the 2018 Halloween Cup, where they won the silver medal, before going on to finish fifth at the 2018 Volvo Open Cup.

Debuting on the Grand Prix series, Reed/Ambrulevičius placed sixth at the 2018 Rostelecom Cup and ninth at the 2018 Internationaux de France. They then went on to win their second consecutive national title at the 2018–19 Lithuanian Championships.

2019–20 season

Reed/Ambrulevičius opened their season at the 2019 CS Lombardia Trophy, finishing sixth. They then went on to place seventh at the 2019 CS Nebelhorn Trophy and fifth at the 2019 CS Finlandia Trophy.

Competing on the 2019–20 Grand Prix series, Reed/Ambrulevičius placed tenth at the 2019 Internationaux de France and fifth at the 2019 Rostelecom Cup.

They went on to finish eleventh at the 2020 European Championships in Graz, Austria and win the gold medal at the 2020 Bavarian Open.[9]

Although selected to compete at the 2020 World Championships, the event was ultimately cancelled due to rising concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

2020–21 season

Reed/Ambrulevičius switched coaches from Marina Zueva to Maurizio Margaglio prior to the season.

They began the season with a seventh-place finish at the 2020 Rostelecom Cup, before going on to win their fourth national title at the 2020–21 Lithuanian Championships.

Despite Reed/Ambrulevičius qualifying a spot for a Lithuanian dance team at the 2022 Winter Olympics with their place at the 2021 World Championships, it was announced in October 2021 that Reed's application for Lithuanian citizenship was denied, thus ending their bid for the Winter Olympics.[13][14]

Reed/Ambrulevičius nonetheless began their season at the 2021 Budapest Trophy, where they took the silver medal.

On the Grand Prix series, Reed/Ambrulevičius placed eighth at the 2021 Internationaux de France and seventh at the 2021 Rostelecom Cup. They then won the silver medal at the 2021 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb as well as their fifth national title at the 2021–22 Lithuanian Championships.
