Dmitry Rylov

Dmitry Vadimovich Rylov (, born 7 September 2001) is a retired Russian pair skater. With partner Apollinariia Panfilova, he is the 2020 World Junior champion, the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics champion, 2019–2020 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, 2019 World Junior silver medalist, the 2017–18 Junior Grand Prix Final silver medalist, and the 2018–19 Junior Grand Prix Final bronze medalist.

Career

Early years Rylov began learning to skate in 2006. Winning the free skate as well, they took their first Junior World title. Panfilova commented that it "was not our best performance, but we did what we could do. The preparation was not ideal, like basically throughout the season. Maybe it was for the better – the more difficult your preparation is, the more valuable is the medal." Panfilova/Rylov won every junior international event they entered in the season, losing only their country's senior nationals.

In an interview with Golden Skate on June 2, 2020, Apollinariia and Dmitry announced their plan to move to seniors for the 2020–21 season, as well as reinforced their commitment to including side-by-side triple jumps in their programs moving forward – a technical feat the team struggled to accomplish in juniors.
