This means she didn't skate alone, but with a partner! Her partner was named Valery Spiridonov. Together, they were like a dancing duo on ice, performing amazing tricks and moves.

Inna and Valery were so good at skating that they won lots of medals! Think of them like trophies for being the best. They won six special medals from big skating contests.
