Filipowski competed in three Winter Olympics between 1984 and 1992, with a best finish of fifth position in 1988.[2] He missed the first half of the 1987–88 season due to a stress fracture in his left leg.[3]
Filipowski was the first skater to perform a triple-triple combination of jumps (3 toe/3 toe) in competition.[citation needed] Barbara Kossowska coached him in Łódź and Rochester, Minnesota.[3] Filipowski turned pro in 1992 and settled in Canada. He works as a coach in figure skating at the York Region Skating Academy.
