She won the silver medal in the 100 metres hurdles at the 2019 European Under-20 Championships held in Borås, Sweden, at the age of 18.

Aged 19, she finished fifth in the 60 metres hurdles at the 2021 European Indoor Championships on home soil in Toruń. She won the gold medal in the 100 m hurdles at the European Under-23 Championships in Tallinn, Estonia that year.

In 2022, Skrzyszowska became triple Polish national champion.

She added silver for the women's 4 × 100 m relay alongside Anna Kiełbasińska, Marika Popowicz-Drapała and Ewa Swoboda.

In her 2023 season's debut on 29 January, Skrzyszowska won the 60 m hurdles at the ISTAF Indoor Düsseldorf in Germany in a personal best of 7.84 seconds.[5] Just a few days later, she produced a world-leading 7.78 s at the Orlen Cup on home soil in Łódź to come within hundredth of a second of Polish record set by Zofia Bielczyk in 1980.[6] At the 2023 European Games Pia Skrzyszowska won the women’s 100 metres hurdles in Chorzów, in 12.77 seconds.
