I've uploaded Kyrylo's FS from Finlandia Trophy here:
The jumps weren't perfect (although he has a really nice Lutz take-off
) but the choreo sequence and the ending pose are great, so the performance should still be preserved somewhere on the interwebs.

Kyrylo's next assignments are CS Denis Ten Memorial (Nov 2-5) and CS Warsaw Cup (Nov 15-19). I'm so happy he got two more Challengers to show what he's capable of.

Kyrylo's SP runthrough at CS Denis Ten Memorial practise today. Combo, StSq, and spins are looking good!
Creative editing by the organizers also answers a question we never dared to ask: What would it be like if Kyrylo skated to Roxaaaaaanne?

Kyrylo scored a new PB in the SP at Denis Ten Memorial today! 
The triple Axel was huge, definitely one of the best he ever jumped in competition. But my favourite element was the beautiful spiral into a spread eagle in his step sequence .
Good luck tomorrow in the free skate!

What a surprise! Kyrylo jumped his first quad in competition today, a 4S, and it was fully rotated too! 
Unfortunately, the rest of the FS in Astana didn't go well. He explained in his insta stories that he had an injury at the beginning of the season and was ill just a week before the Denis Ten Challenger, which might have had an influence on his bumpy performance.
But he's also saying that he can definitely do better and he will.
Kyrylo caught my attention last season, when Ivan Shmuratko got injured, and Kyrylo suddenly had to step in as Ukraine's leading man. And he did so brilliantly, grabbing a few medals along the way and qualifying for Europeans and senior Worlds.
These are the skaters I really love and admire, the fighters who give their best despite the odds, the ones who don't give up when things get rough, and Kyrylo is definitely one of them. (Also, he is obviously a friend of cats.
)
So go Kyrylo, you've got this!

Tomorrow Kyrylo will compete at his third CS event this season in Warsaw. I won't be able to watch the SP live, but I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for a clean, inspired performance.

Kyrylo's SP from Warsaw Cup:
youtu.be
The spins were a bit wild and his usually beautiful lutz got away from him this time, but still a solid score.
Will he bring back his quad on Saturday in the FS?

Darth Kyrylo is back in the Free Skate! 
And he came very close to his PB with a score of 121.36.
Kyrylo seems a bit more comfortable with this program, hopefully it gives him a boost for the second part of the season. His next competition is Tallinn Trophy in just a few weeks. But his goal will be a spot at Junior Worlds I assume. He's on a good way and I keep my fingers crossed for him!

Turns out that Tallinn Trophy is not "in a few weeks" but actually the men's SP is scheduled for the day after tomorrow at early noon. I won't be able to watch live, so I hope the stream stays up so I can rewatch Kyrylo's skate.
I wonder what their plan for the rest of the season is. There are the Youth Olympic Games in January and then Junior Worlds a little later. Will qualification be based on international performance? I could only find Novice Nationals scheduled on the SkateUkraine homepage, nothing about Junior or Senior National Championships. Hopefully Kyrylo can grab the assignments.
Good luck and clean skates in Tallinn!

Kyrylo performed today in Tallinn to loud cheers of the audience. He landed a beautiful opening 3A and received level 4 for his steps.
But there was also a step-out from the solo lutz, an unfortunate slip and fall on the combo landing, and a wobbly spin, so he himself wasn't too happy with his skate. In the K&C he expected a score of 58, but he was a bit hard on himself. The judges in fact scored him with 68 and Kyrylo finished first in the SP.

Who will we see tomorrow in the free, Bat Kyrylo or Darth Kyrylo?

First medal of the season for (Darth) Kyrylo 
The quad didn't work this time, but otherwise it was a good skate.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a podium picture, so this will have to do, lol.

The next competition for Kyrylo will be the 51st Volvo Open Cup, starting 18th January in Riga. He will compete in Juniors together with his countryman Kyrylo Lishenko. I guess the Ukrainian Fed is trying to make up their minds whom to send to Junior Worlds. I figured out that Kyrylo is too old for the Youth Olympic Games, so naturally he didn't get the assignment, but I hope we will see him at Junior Worlds.
The Ukrainian Fed also published the dates for the National Championships. Juniors will compete 15-18 March, Seniors 1-4 April. Since Junior Nationals actually takes place after Junior Worlds, I wonder if Kyrylo will even start there. He is aging out of Juniors next season anyway.
Another find on the Fed website is this brief statement by Kyrylo after winning bronze at the Tallinn Trophy (23rd November):
A Finnish news outlet also published an article about the skaters training at Peurunka Skating Academy in Laukaa which features Kyrylo. There is not much text except the quotes below, but there are some nice pictures.
As always, good luck to Kyrylo and may all his dreams come true in the New Year!

They had a Small Medal Ceremony at the Volvo Open Cup, which means double the podium pictures!
Kyrylo lies in 3rd after the SP with a clean 3A but a fall from the solo 3Lz.

What a competition! Kyrylo landed his first 4S with positive GOE in the free skate. The element alone brought him a whopping 11 points. Kyrylo ended up right on top of the podium. This should have secured him the assignment to Junior Worlds, I hope.
And because I love podium pictures:
Judging by the costume it looks like he is back from Darth Kyrylo to Bat Kyrylo.

Videos from Volvo Open have popped up on youtube.

And of course, this weekend Kyrylo performed again at Bavarian Open. The jumps didn't cooperate this time, but that's ok. It's his transitional season into seniors and he is upping his technical content, so not everything will go smoothly all the time. His overall skating has improved so much and the transitions especially in his FS are well executed. I quite enjoy the leg kicks, now I'd like to see a cartwheel soon.

The next competition for Kyrylo will be the Tallink Hotels Cup, already starting on 15th February. I am glad he's getting so many chances to compete this season, and we get many chances to watch him skate.
