A few days before the 2022 Grand Prix of Espoo was scheduled to take place, Emmi Peltonen was forced to withdraw after testing positive for COVID-19. As a result, Jyrkinen was called up to replace her. Due to this, Jyrkinen also had to withdraw from the 2022 NRW Trophy which she was originally assigned to compete at due to the event taking place at the same time as the Grand Prix of Espoo.[4] Making her senior Grand Prix debut, Jyrkinen placed twelfth in the short program out of the twelve skaters at the event after popping a planned triple lutz and triple flip into singles. She went on to deliver a solid free skate, placing seventh in that segment of the competition and finishing tenth overall.[3]

Jyrkinen delivered two strong performances, placing eighth in the short program, seventh in the free skate, and seventh overall. Her top ten placement earned two spots for Finnish women singles skaters for the 2024 European Championships. Jyrkinen went then on to compete at the 2023 Nordic Championships and the 2023 International Challenge Cup, finishing second and twelfth, respectively.[3]
