Early career Tsiba started competing at the age of seven. He originally wanted to compete in
ice hockey, but was advised to learn to skate in the
figure skating club first. Following this, skating fans began a
Change.org petition, requesting that Danilova/Tsiba be awarded the Olympic spot. Additionally, the KNSB (Royal Dutch Skating Federation) submitted a request to the NOC*NSF to allow the pair to citing that the pair had a fourteenth-place world ranking and otherwise met all ISU requirements to compete at the upcoming Olympics. On 22 December, Danilova/Tsiba shared via their
Instagram that the NOC*NSF had ultimately decided to allow them to have the Olympic spot, making them the first Dutch figure skating pair team to qualify for an Olympic Games. Tsiba later thanked those that started and signed the petition, saying, "We were so surprised to see who all supported us. Especially the other skaters. They know what it takes. They understand that the Olympic situation in figure skating is maybe even more important than in other sports. And when you feel that support, you know everybody just wants you to go. The love I felt then was amazing. So another big thank you to everyone." In January, Danilova/Tsiba competed at the
2026 European Championships, finishing in fifteenth place. == Programs ==
