Eltsova and Bushkov missed the 1997–1998 Champions Series Final because Bushkov had a groin injury.[1] They withdrew from the 1998 European Championships – Bushkov's right blade broke during the short program.[2] The pair competed at the 1998 Winter Olympics, where they placed seventh. They were coached by Natalia Pavlova in Saint Petersburg.[1]

Eltsova previously skated with Sergei Zaitsev, representing the Soviet Union.

Eltsova is married and has a daughter. She currently is a figure skating coach at several rinks in the Kansas City metro area.
