Personal life

Maksym Spodyriev was born on 29 December 1993 in Kharkiv, Ukraine.[2] He moved to Toruń, Poland in 2014.

Early career

Spodyriev skated with Veronika Sharapova early in his career. In 2011, he teamed up with Russian-born ice dancer Daria Korotitskaia, with whom he competed internationally for Ukraine. Coached by Halyna Churilova and Mariana Kozlova in Kharkiv, they appeared at four ISU Junior Grand Prix events, placing as high as fourth. They parted ways at the end of the 2013–14 season.

Partnership with Kaliszek

2014–15 season

In 2014, Spodyriev began competing with Polish ice dancer Natalia Kaliszek for Poland, coached by Sylwia Nowak-Trębacka in Toruń. The two made their international debut at the Volvo Open Cup, where they took the junior silver medal. Switching to the senior level, they placed sixth at an Challenger Series event, the Warsaw Cup, before winning gold at the Santa Claus Cup. They won the Polish national title at the Four Nationals in December 2014 and took bronze the following month at the MNNT Cup.

Kaliszek/Spodyriev were selected to represent Poland at the European Championships, held in late January 2015 in Stockholm, Sweden. Ranked 15th in the short dance, they qualified to the free dance, where they placed 14th and rose to 14th overall. In early March, they made their second and final appearance on the junior level, competing at the World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia; they placed 10th in the short dance, 6th in the free dance, and 7th overall. Later in March, they traveled to Shanghai, China for the World Championships, but were eliminated after placing 24th in the short dance.

2015–16 season

Kaliszek/Spodyriev competed in three 2015–16 Challenger Series competitions – after placing 7th at the 2015 Nebelhorn Trophy, they won bronze at the 2015 Mordovian Ornament and silver at the 2015 Warsaw Cup.
