Junior career

As a junior curler, Dupont competed in five consecutive World Junior Curling Championships with Denmark from 2006 to 2010. Denmark's best result was in 2009, when they won their first ever junior title.[2] Dupont's all-time World Junior Curling Championship personal record is 22-19.

Dupont jumped into mixed curling, competing in the 2012 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship with Mette de Neergard.[3] They finished in 9th. He later curled at the 2015 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship with his sister, Denise. They placed 5th.

At the 2014 European Curling Championships, Dupont and his team finished in ninth.

Denmark finished in 12th.

Dupont has also competes at various World Curling Tour events, most recently the 2013 German Masters and 2014 Baden Masters.
