Kyrylo Marsak

Kyrylo Andriyovych Marsak (; born 7 September 2004) is a Ukrainian figure skater. He is the two-time Tallinn Trophy bronze medalist, a two-time Volvo Open Cup medalist (gold in 2024, bronze in 2022), 2023 Bavarian Open bronze medalist, and a four-time Ukrainian national champion (2023–26).

Personal life Marsak was born in Kherson, Ukraine to parents, Zoya and Andriy, and grew up in Kyiv. He also has a sister, Yelyzaveta Marsak, who is six years older.

In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine with Marsak's home city of Kyiv being one of the first areas of attack. Three weeks following the initial invasion, Marsak and his sister fled the country, eventually settling in Toruń, Poland. In June, Marsak moved to Laukaa, Finland for his training while his sister remained in Poland where she opened up her own figure skating school called, “On Ice with Elizabeth.” With this school, Yelyzaveta organises masterclasses and skating camps together with other Ukrainian athletes for skaters of all levels. He speaks Ukrainian, Russian, English, and Finnish.

Career Early years Marsak began learning to skate in 2009. Marsak placed twenty-second in the free skate and finished twenty-first overall. The day of the free program, Marsak had learned that his coach, Shkidchenko had died.

Marsak started the season by finishing eleventh at the 2025 CS Lombardia Trophy. He then went on to compete at the ISU Skate to Milano, the final qualifying event for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Marsak's fourth-place finish at the event earned Ukraine a quota for the men's singles discipline at the Games. In an interview following the event, Marsak shared his happiness with the result, saying, "I can’t believe it that I can do it. I can go to Olympics. I got the spot for my country, and it’s such an honor to represent my nation. I don’t know, it seemed like something obstruct - the Olympics, something big, something out of this world. It’s a dream that came true. I have dreamed about it ever since I was a kid. It was more like an abstract dream that okay, someday I wanna be at the Olympics, and now it’s a reality."

He subsequently competed at the 2025 CS Trialeti Trophy but was forced to withdraw before the free skate due to suffering from food poisoning. One week later, he won gold at the 2026 Merano Ice Trophy. Following this statement, Marsak shared, "I received a lot of messages from Russians saying that I'm not worthy enough and I shouldn't be here [at the Olympics]. But I was like, okay, whatever. Let's talk on the ice."

On 10 February, Marsak competed in the short program, where he scored a personal best by almost ten points and placed eleventh in that segment.

In March, Marsak completed his season at the 2026 World Championships. He placed twelfth in the short program and sixteenth in the free skate, finishing thirteenth overall. He set a new personal best in the total score with 234.67 points.

In April, he defended his national title, making this his fourth gold national championship medal.
