Personal life
Windsor was born on 22 October 1996 in Penrith, New South Wales, and was raised in Rooty Hill. He has Australian Aboriginal ancestry and has six siblings. His mother Josie is from the Weilwyn and Gamilaraay people, and his father Peter is of Gamilaraay and Ngarrable descent.
Early years
Windsor began skating in 2005 after an ice rink in Blacktown caught his interest. Galina and Andrei Pachin began coaching him in Canterbury in late 2006. After competing in singles, he began learning pairs and passing qualifying tests with partners from New South Wales and Queensland.
Partnership with Alexandrovskaya
Responding to a query from the Pachins, Russia-based coach Nina Mozer suggested a tryout between Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya and Windsor, who arrived in Moscow around January 2016. Alexandrovskaya was released by Russia after a request from the Australian skating association, with help from Mozer. The pair is coached by the Pachins in Sydney and by Andrei Hekalo and Nina Mozer in Moscow.
Alexandrovskaya/Windsor's international debut came in early September 2016 at the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Ranked 6th in the short program and 9th in the free skate, the pair finished 8th overall. Later that month, the two competed at a JGP event in Tallinn, Estonia. They were awarded the gold medal ahead of three Russian pairs after placing third in the short and first in the free. They finished as the first substitutes for the JGP Final in Marseille, France.
Alexandrovskaya/Windsor made their senior debut in October 2016 at a Challenger Series event, the Finlandia Trophy; they placed sixth and obtained the minimum technical scores to compete at senior-level ISU Championships. In December, the pair placed 5th in France at the JGP Final, to which they were called up as replacements for Russia's Ekaterina Borisova / Dmitry Sopot. Windsor tore his patella tendon in January 2017. The following month, the pair competed in Gangneung, South Korea at the 2017 Four Continents Championships, finishing 11th.
