In July, at the Canada Open, Thyrri and his partner, Amalie Magelund, faced a tough defeat in the mixed doubles final after an intense three-set match against the Japanese pair, Hiroki Midorikawa and Natsu Saito.[2] One week later, the pair reached their second final in two weeks at the US Open. However, they were once again defeated in a three-set match, this time by the Taiwanese pair Ye Hong-wei and Lee Chia-hsin.[3]

In February, Thyrri was part of the Danish men's national team that won the gold medal in 2024 European Men's Team Championships after defeating France in the final.[4] At the 2024 European Badminton Championships in April, he and Magelund reached the semi-finals in the mixed doubles event, but their journey ended after losing to the French pair, Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue, in a three-set match.[5]
