Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Tsarevski began ice skating when he was five, when his parents signed him up for hockey. Two years later, he joined his sisters when they began figure skating. He started ice dancing when he was 13.[1] He competed with Leah Neset from 2018 to 2019.[2] At the 2019 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, they won the silver medal in the intermediate division. He then competed with Isabella Flores from 2020 to 2021.[3] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic they competed in a virtual event, placing third in the U.S. junior series. They subsequently placed fourth at the 2021 U.S. Junior Championships.[4]
2021–22 season: Junior international debut
[edit]Flores and Tsarevski placed first in Lake Placid in the junior division, and were assigned to two ISU Junior Grand Prix competitions. They placed second at both events, the 2021 JGP France II and the 2021 JGP Poland. Following this, they won the domestic competition for the U.S. junior championship series. [3] Their partnership ended in December 2021, prior to the U.S. junior national championships in January.
2023–24 season: First season with Wolfkostin
[edit]On May 16, 2023, Tsarevski and Wolfkostin announced their new ice dance partnership.[5][2] In subsequent interviews, Tsarevski confirmed that he had taken a break and had now moved from Colorado to Michigan to train with Wolfkostin and coaches Charlie White, Greg Zuerlein, and Tanith Belbin White.[1][6] Wolfkostin/Tsarevski started their season with successful summer competitions in Dallas and Lake Placid, where they placed first in all events at the senior level.[7] They were then given their first senior international assignment, the 2023 CS Autumn Classic International,[6] where they placed fifth. They again placed fifth at the 2023 CS Budapest Trophy.[8][9] The following month, they placed first in both segments of the senior level of the 2024 U.S. Ice Dance Final,[10] easily winning the gold and qualifying them for the 2024 U.S. Championships. There, they placed eighth in the rhythm dance, seventh in the free dance, and ninth overall, finishing 1.38 points behind sibling team Brown/Brown.[11]
2024–2025 season: World Junior silver and Junior Grand Prix Final silver
[edit]In June 2024, a new ruling of the ISU Congress resulted in a change of age limit for junior pairs and ice dance teams,[12] and Wolfkostin, 19, and Tsarevski, 20, opted to start the year in the junior division. Wolfkostin had reported being off the ice for several months while recovering from a leg fracture, and they waited until July to begin their season.[13] At the 2024 Lake Placid Ice Dance International, they placed second overall.[8] They were then assigned to the JGP Czech Republic, where they clinched the silver medal.[14][15] A few weeks later at the JGP Poland, they won the gold medal, scoring new season's bests and qualifying them for the Junior Grand Prix Final in Grenoble, France. [16][9] There, Wolfkostin/Tsarevski scored 65.57 in the rhythm dance and 99.41 in the free, totaling 164.98 points and earning the silver medal in the final.[17]
Competing a "split" junior-senior season, after the conclusion of the Grand Prix, Wolfkostin and Tsarevski skated to brand new senior programs for the 2025 U.S. Championships. There, they placed sixth in the rhythm dance with a score of 76.27, and eighth in the free with a score of 110.56, for a total of 186.83 points and a seventh-place finish overall.[18]
Following the national championships, Wolfkostin/Tsarevski were assigned to complete their season at the 2025 World Junior Championships in Debrecen.[19] Despite skating early in the rhythm dance segment, the team scored 65.71 points and placed second.[20][21] They then scored 101.80 in the free dance, earning a combined total of 167.51 points, and ultimately winning the silver medal, behind Italian team Tali/Lafornara.[22][23]
