Career

Early years

Pinchuk and Pogorielov made their international junior debut in the

2020–21 season which, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, featured few events, in particular for junior skaters. Despite this, they won three silver medals at smaller events held in Europe, most notably the Budapest Trophy. They won both the national novice and junior titles.[1]

2021–22 season: War refugees

Pinchuk/Pogorielov made their

Junior Grand Prix debut, coming ninth at the 2022 JGP Slovakia and sixth at the 2022 JGP Poland. They won their first international gold medal at the Open d'Andorra, and silver medals at both the Santa Claus Cup and the Victor Petrenko Cup, collecting their second Ukrainian junior title as well.[1]

Pinchuk and Pogorielov's plans for the second half of the season were derailed by the

Russian invasion of Ukraine, which made their home city of Kharkiv the site of one of the largest and most protracted early battles. While Pogorielov's family evacuated to Spain, he traveled with Pinchuk, her mother and their coach Galina Churilova to Vienna.[2] Despite these disruptions, the team was able to attend the 2022 World Junior Championships, which had been delayed and moved to Tallinn as a result of the invasion, with all Russian and Belarusian skaters banned from participating.[3][4] Pinchuk/Pogorielov finished in seventeenth place in their ISU championship debut.[1]

2022–23 season: First JGP medal

With their regular choreographer Larisa Fiodorova still in Kharkiv and unable to leave, Pinchuk and Pogorielov received assistance in preparing their new programs from retired Ukrainian senior champions

Junior Grand Prix, they won the bronze medal at the 2022 JGP Latvia.[5] In their second event, the 2022 JGP Poland, they finished fourth.[1]

Opting to make their international senior debut, the team won a bronze medal at the Bosphorus Cup and silver at the Pavel Roman Memorial. They were sent to represent Ukraine at the 2023 European Championships, qualifying to the free dance and finishing fifteenth. Pinchuk/Pogorielov then appeared at their second World Junior Championships, coming twelfth in Calgary.[1]

2023–24 season: JGP gold

Starting their season again on the

Junior Grand Prix Final.[7] They finished fifth at the Final, which they announced would be their last appearance at the junior level.[8]

Personal life

Pogorielov was born on 24 September 2002 in

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. He currently resides in Austria with Pinchuk and her mother, while his parents and brother found refuge in Spain.[2]

As of 2022, Pogorielov studies online at the Kharkiv School of Architecture.[2]
