Career
Early years
Cirisano began learning to skate as a five-year-old in 2006.[1] He began competing in ice dance during the 2016–17 season, skating with Marina Tikhonova. Their partnership lasted two seasons.[2]
In 2018, Cirisano teamed up with Irina Khavronina. The two finished 11th at the 2019 Russian Junior Figure Skating Championships.
2019–20 season: Junior international debut
Khavronina/Cirisano made their international debut in January at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, Switzerland. They ranked first in both segments and outscored fellow Russians Sofya Tyutyunina / Alexander Shustitskiy by 5.48 points to take the gold medal.
2020–21 season
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the international junior season was cancelled, and Khavronina/Cirisano competed exclusively domestically. They won the bronze medal at the 2021 Russian Junior Championships.[3]
2021–22 season
With the resumption of international junior competition, Khavronina/Cirisano received their first ISU Junior Grand Prix assignment to the 2021 JGP Russia in September. The team scored a new personal best to win the rhythm dance and ultimately took the gold medal overall, despite falling slightly behind compatriots Sofia Leonteva / Daniil Gorelkin in the free dance.
At their next assignment, 2021 JGP Poland, Khavronina/Cirisano again upgraded their personal best in the rhythm dance, scoring 68.05 points to win the segment.
2022–23 season
In autumn, Khavronina/Cirisano participated at two stages of Russian Grand prix, in Sochi, finished 3rd, and Moscow finished 2nd. In result, they qualified for 2023 Russian national. At the national championship they took 5th place after the short program, but withdrew from the free program due to Irina's illness.
In January 2023, the team parted ways.[4]
In May, it was announced that Cirisano teamed up with Denisa Cimlová from Czech Republic, however, the partnership dissolved shortly afterwards due to the Figure Skating Federation of Russia refusing to release him.[5][6] In late 2023, he returned to Russia and teamed up with Elizaveta Pasechnik.[7]
