Early career

Nekrasov began learning to skate in 2004.[1] He trained as a single skater until 2010; he then switched to ice dancing. He and his first partner, Polina Velikanova, competed together during the 2011–2012 season. He skated the following season with Maria Oleynik.

Nekrasov and Polina Kalinina skated two seasons together, 2013–2014 and 2014–2015. In 2015, he teamed up with Arina Ushakova. They are coached by Alexei Gorshkov and Maxim Bolotin.

2016–2017 season

Ushakova/Nekrasov received their first ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) assignments in the 2016–2017 season. They won bronze medals at both events, competing in late August in Ostrava, Czech Republic and in October in Dresden, Germany.

In November 2016 they won the silver medal at the 2016 Ice Star. They placed 7th at the 2017 Russian Junior Championships.

2017–2018 season

Competing in the 2017 JGP series, Ushakova/Nekrasov took bronze in August in Minsk, Belarus. They won their first JGP gold medal in October at the event in Egna, Italy, beating the silver medalists, their teammates Sofia Polishchuk / Alexander Vakhnov, by about two points.[2] With these results they qualified for the 2017–18 JGP Final, where they placed 5th.

In January 2018, Ushakova/Nekrasov took the bronze medal at the 2018 Russian Junior Championships after placing fifth in the short dance and third in the free dance. In March, they won bronze at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, having placed third in both segments.

2018–2019 season

Ushakova/Nekrasov started their season by competing in the 2018 JGP series. At their first JGP event of the season they won the gold medal in Kaunas, Lithuania. They were ranked first in both the rhythm dance and the free dance and won the gold medal by a margin of more than 6 points over the silver medalists, Avonley Nguyen / Vadym Kolesnik.[3] As of August 2018, their rhythm dance, free dance and combined total scores at this competition are the highest scores achieved in an international junior ice dance competition.
