Denis has a very pleasing style. I first made note of him at a Junior Worlds a few years back. Now it's wonderful to see him improving and growing as a skater and his medals were one of the unexpected highlights of the JGP for me this season. Congratulations to him on his first JGPF, I hope he has a great time!

Krouglov is already gaining momentum. The 16-year-old reached the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final after securing two silver medals on the circuit. He finished fourth in Nagoya and later placed 10th at the 2026 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia—an improvement of 12 places from the previous year.

According to coach Leslie Stewart, Krouglov has made solid progress since last season.

“In previous years, a lot of his development was interrupted by injuries related to his growth, which made consistency difficult,” she explained. “Now that this phase has settled, he has been able to train with much better continuity, and that is making a difference.”

Did you watch his programs this season? What do you think?
