second Four Continents medal for a Kazakh skater (after Denis Ten), and the first for a lady. Speaking afterward, Tursynbaeva admitted that she did not expect to make the podium. Regarding the quad, she said "I still have work to do on it, but it wasn’t bad for a first time in competition." Tursynbaeva next competed in the 2019 Winter Universiade. She placed fourth after the short program and first in the free skate. Her free skate included an attempted quad Salchow that she fell on. She was able to deliver the rest of her program without any mistakes and won the silver medal, becoming the second Kazakh skater (again after Denis Ten) to medal at a Winter Universiade, and the first to medal in ladies' singles. At the 2019 World Championships, she placed third in the short program executing triple Salchow-triple toe loop combination in the second half of the program, earning bonus 10% and a triple Lutz. She placed fourth in the free skate, successfully landing the quad Salchow and becoming the first woman to ever land a quad jump at the World Championships in ladies' singles. She finished in second place overall, winning the silver medal and becoming the second Kazakh skater to medal at the World Championships and the first to do so in ladies' singles. In an interview when asked about her performance and the quad, she said "I can't believe I landed it, it was good in practice this morning. I couldn't do it at the last two competitions so I was really glad to be able to do it here." 2019–2020 season Tursynbaeva suffered from recurring injury issues that compelled her to withdraw from the 2019 CS Lombardia Trophy. She did compete at the 2019 Shanghai Trophy, winning the silver medal, but withdrew from her first Grand Prix assignment, 2019 Skate America. She subsequently withdrew from the 2019 Cup of China as well, stating that she hoped to be well enough to participate in ice shows later in the year. Elizabet Tursynbayeva, along with another famous Kazakh ice skater Kseniya Pankratova, went viral in 2021 for their Instagram video of their ice skating performances on a frozen lake in Kazakhstan.
