Career

Early years

Gogolev began skating at the age of six[6] in 2010.[7] While competing in Russia he was coached by Alexander Tarasov at DYUSSH No. 8 Lokomotiv in Yekaterinburg.[8] He later joined Brian Orser and Lee Barkell at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club in Toronto, Ontario.[3]

2014–2015 season: National Pre-Novice Champion

Competing at the pre-novice level, Gogolev won every competition he entered,[9] including the Central Ontario sectional and Canadian national pre-novice titles as well as the gold medal at the 2015 Canada Winter Games,[6] where he was the youngest competitor.[10] He earned a record score while winning the pre-novice title at 2015 Skate Canada Challenge.[2] A video of Gogolev landing a triple Axel at age 10 was shared by his club in January 2015,[11] followed by a video of a landed quad Salchow in May 2015.[12]

2015–2016 season: National Novice Champion

Moving up to the novice level, Gogolev once again had a golden season. He won the Central Ontario sectional, 2016 Skate Canada Challenge, and the 2016 Canadian novice titles.[9] He earned another record score at 2016 Challenge.[2] At Nationals, he landed a triple Axel in his free skate and won by over 20 points.[13] After Nationals Coach Orser spoke about Gogolev landing a quad Salchow in practice, and that he had been working on a quad toe loop[14] while being mentored by fellow skater Javier Fernández. In his international debut in March 2016 he won the advanced novice men title at the 2016 Coupe du Printemps.[15]

2016–2017 season: National Junior Champion

Competing at the junior level, Gogolev topped the podium in all events he competed in within Canada. He won the Central Ontario sectional, 2017 Skate Canada Challenge, and the 2017 Canadian national junior titles.[9] At Nationals he came from behind to win the title over Conrad Orzel by a margin of four points.[16] In February 2017 he won the advanced novice men title at 2017 Bavarian Open.[17] He attempted a quad Salchow for the first time in international competition at this event,[18] having included it in his free skate this season.

2017-2018 season

Gogolev competed exclusively at the senior level this season. He won the inaugural Skate Ontario senior men provincial title.[19] At 2018 Skate Canada Challenge Gogolev ranked 7th in the short program and 4th in the free skate to come 4th overall.[20] He came 11th in the short program and 9th in the free skate at 2018 Canadian Nationals to end up 10th overall. Gogolev competed with a quad Salchow in his short and free programs this season, and landed a quad toe for the first time in competition.[20] Coach Orser confirmed that he is able to land all the quadruple jumps.[4] He was a member of Skate Canada's NextGen Team this season.[21]

2018-2019 season: International junior debut

Gogolev was once again chosen to be part of Skate Canada's NextGen Team.[3] In May 2018 he worked with choreographers Marie-France Dubreuil and Samuel Chouinard on an exhibition program for the upcoming season.[22] He has been assigned to compete at JGP Bratislava and JGP Canada.[23] At JGP Bratislava Gogolev skated a clean short program to take the lead with a score of 77.67. In the free skate he landed a quad Lutz, quad toe, and quad Salchow triple toe combination to score 148.96 points. He was first in the free skate and won the gold medal with a score of 226.63. Gogolev became the first Canadian skater as well as the youngest male skater to land the quad Lutz in competition.[24]
