Career

Coskun started skating at the age of 6 with her kindergarten class, at the skating rink in the Galleria shopping mall of Istanbul. The rink was not of professional quality so Buse experienced difficulties in her training. At 9, she competed for the first time internationally for Turkey.

Istanbul had no olympic ice rink then, and no professional skating coaches. She had to do training in the 600 square meter Galleria Ice Rink. From 1998 to 2010, she represented Turkey in international competitions. All skaters continue their lives with an average of 30 hours of weekly training but Buse Coskun tried to pursue sports career working 3 hours a week in shopping mall. In 2003, she won a silver medal at the Golden Bear of Zagreb 2003 after gold medalist Yuna Kim. Because Turkey had only two ice rinks, Coskun travelled to Kocaeli Province for training in the early morning and then returned to Istanbul to attend school.

At the 2011 Erzurum University Championships, Coskun served as a speaker and commentator on the TRT channel. She is now an assistant coach at Olimpik Sport Club 2023^[1] with her coach Cenk Ertaul and former national skater Renk Kemaloglu.
