Career

Early career

Jyrkinen began figure skating in 2013.[2]

She won the Finnish Novice Championships in 2019. The following year, she won the bronze medal at the 2019–20 Finnish Junior Championships.[3]

Jyrkinen went on to win gold at the 2020 Volvo Open Cup and finish fifth on at the 2021 Tallink Hotels Cup.[3]

2021–22 season

Jyrkinen made her international debut on the 2021–22 Junior Grand Prix series, finishing ninth at the 2021 JGP France and 2021 JGP Austria, before going on to finish seventh at the 2021 Santa Claus Cup.[3]

Jyrkinen would then go on to win gold at 2021–22 Finnish Junior Championships and 2022 Nordic Championships. She finished her season at the 2022 Jégvirág Cup and the 2022 Bavarian Open, where she placed second and sixth, respectively.[3]

2022–23 season

Making her senior international level debut, Jyrkinen started the season with an eleventh-place finish at the 2022 CS Lombardia Trophy and a tenth-place finish at the 2022 CS Finlandia Trophy. She then went on to win gold and bronze at the 2022 Volvo Open Cup and 2022 CS Warsaw Cup, respectively.[3]

A few days before the 2022 Grand Prix of Espoo was scheduled to take place, Emmi Peltonen was forced to withdraw after testing positive for COVID-19. As a result, Jyrkinen was called up to replace her. Due to this, Jyrkinen also had to withdraw from the 2022 NRW Trophy which she was originally assigned to compete at due to the event taking place at the same time as the Grand Prix of Espoo.[4] Making her senior Grand Prix debut, Jyrkinen placed twelfth in the short program out of the twelve skaters at the event after popping a planned triple lutz and triple flip into singles. She went on to deliver a solid free skate, placing seventh in that segment of the competition and finishing tenth overall.[3]

Competing at both the 2022–23 Finnish Championships, Jyrkinen won her first senior national title.[3]

At the 2023 European Championships in Espoo, Finland, Jyrkinen entered the event as the home favorite and the only Finnish woman singles skater competing at the event. Jyrkinen delivered two strong performances, placing eighth in the short program, seventh in the free skate, and seventh overall. Her top ten placement earned two spots for Finnish women singles skaters for the 2024 European Championships. Jyrkinen went then on to compete at the 2023 Nordic Championships and the 2023 International Challenge Cup, finishing second and twelfth, respectively.[3]

At the 2023 World Championships in Saitama, Japan, Jyrkinen managed to qualify for the free skate segment of the competition after placing twenty-first in the short program. She would also go on to place twenty-first in the free skate segment of the competition, finishing twenty-first overall.[3]

2023–24 season

Jyrkinen began the season at the 2023 CS Lombardia Trophy, coming eleventh, before finishing eighth on home ice at the 2023 CS Finlandia Trophy.[3] On the Grand Prix, she came twelfth of twelve skaters at the 2023 Grand Prix de France and then eleventh at Finland's own 2023 Grand Prix of Espoo.[5][6]
