Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Jirenbayev began figure skating in 2012 at the age of nine. He initially trained at the Astana Palace of School Children, where he was coached by Vladimir Victorovich Rudi.[3] In addition, Svetlana Chernikova would also eventually coach him during his childhood.[5]
2019–20 season
[edit]Prior to the season, Jirenbayev left the Astana Palace of School Children and began training at the Astana Diamond Skates instead. It was there where Aygul Shavaleeva and Georgi Klochko would become his new coaches.[5] Debuting on the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit, he would finish fifteenth at 2019 JGP Russia. He then competed on the junior level at the 2019 Denis Ten Memorial Challenge.[6]
2020–21 season
[edit]He did not compete internationally during the 2020–21 figure skating season due to the 2020–21 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit being cancelled as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
2021–22 season
[edit]Prior to the start of the season, the Denis Ten Academy was founded and Jirenbayev decided to transfer on over to the new skating club. Former Russian figure skater, Sergei Voronov, who had been appointed to head coach of the club, would become Jirenbayev's new coach.[3]
He began the season by competing on the 2021–22 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit, finishing ninth at 2021 JGP Slovakia.[6]
Due to Kazakhstan having no Olympic berths obtained during the 2021 World Championships, Jirenbayev was sent to compete at the 2021 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, the final qualifying event for the 2022 Winter Olympics. At the event, Jirenbayev would place twenty-seventh, failing to qualify a spot for Kazakhstani men's singles skaters at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[6][8][9]
Jirenbayev would go on to compete at the 2021 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge and the 2021 Santa Claus Cup, placing tenth and fifth, respectively. Selected to compete at the 2022 Four Continents Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, Jirenbayev finished thirteenth at the event. He would then close the season by winning bronze at the 2022 Sofia Trophy.[6]
2022–23 season
[edit]Jirenbayev started the season by competing on the 2022–23 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit, finishing ninth at 2022 JGP Italy. He would subsequently compete on the 2022–23 ISU Challenger Series, finishing second at the 2022 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge and ninth at the 2022 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb. Between the two events, Jirenbayev would also win the bronze medal at the 2022 Denkova-Staviski Cup.[6]
Selected to compete at the 2023 Winter World University Games, Jirenbayev would place eleventh at the event. One month later, he competed at the 2023 Four Continents Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, where he finished sixteenth. He then closed the season with a sixteenth-place finish at the 2023 World Junior Championships in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.[6]
Following the season, Jirenbayev's coach, Sergei Voronov, made the decision to resign as head coach of the Denis Ten Academy. As such, Oksana Ten, mother of the late Denis Ten and the then vice-president of the National Skating Federation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, would become Jirenbayev's new coach.[2][10]
2023–24 season
[edit]Beginning the season by competing on the 2023–24 ISU Challenger Series, Jirenbayev finished twelfth at the 2023 CS Budapest Trophy, thirteenth at the 2023 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge, and sixteenth at the 2023 CS Warsaw Cup. He would then subsequently finish fourth at the 2023 Volvo Open Cup.[6]
Selected to compete at the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai, China, Jirenbayev would place sixteenth at the event. He then concluded the season by winning gold at the 2024 Coupe du Printemps.[6]
