Personal life
Denis Margalik was born on June 3, 1997, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[1] His parents, born in Ukraine, relocated the family to New York, United States, in late December 1999, and soon after, to Canada.[2] Margalik, the second of three boys, grew up in Mississauga before moving to Richmond Hill, Ontario.[2][3] He attended Silverthorn Collegiate Institute.[4]
Career
Margalik began skating in 2005.[1] His first coach was Robert O'Toole, who taught him for eight years, mainly at the Woodbine Winter Club in Toronto.[4] Margalik's early career was hindered by Osgood–Schlatter disease, which affected his knees.[4] Competing on the junior level, he won the silver medal at the 2013 Canadian Championships and gold at the 2013 Mladost Trophy, his only international appearance for Canada. He changed coaches later in 2013, joining Andrei Berezintsev and Inga Zusev at the Richmond Training Centre in Richmond Hill, Ontario.[2][5] He won the national junior title at the 2014 Canadian Championships.
Margalik debuted for Argentina in September 2014, placing fourth at the ISU Junior Grand Prix in Japan. Making his senior international debut, he finished seventh at the 2014 Skate Canada Autumn Classic, a part of the ISU Challenger Series. In February 2015, he competed at his first ISU Championship, the Four Continents in Seoul, South Korea. Ranked 18th in the short program, he qualified for the free skate, where he placed 15th and rose to 16th overall.
In August 2015, Margalik won Argentina's first ISU Junior Grand Prix medal, taking bronze at the 2015 JGP in Bratislava, Slovakia.
