Career

Early career

Tioumentsev began figure skating at the age of three.

From 2014 to 2020, Tioumentsev competed as a singles skater before ultimately deciding to focus on pairs skating.

His early pair partners included Sydney Flaum, Sarah Burden, Natasha Mishkutionok, and Alexandra Prudsky. With Mishkutionok, he won gold in juvenile at the 2018 U.S. Championships and silver in intermediate at the 2019 U.S. Championships.

He ultimately teamed up with Sophia Baram in April 2021.[1]

2021–22 season

Baram/Tioumentsev made their debut together at the 2021 USCS Nevada and 2021 USCS Massachusetts, winning both events.

They then went on to win gold at the 2022 U.S. Junior Championships by over twenty points.[1]

2022–23 season

Baram/Tioumentsev debuted internationally on the 2022–23 Junior Grand Prix series. They won the bronze medal at the 2022 JGP Poland II and gold at the 2022 JGP Czech Republic, ultimately qualifying for the 2022–23 Junior Grand Prix Final in Turin, Italy.

The pair went on to compete at the 2023 Midwestern Sectional Championships, winning the gold medal.

At the Final, Baram/Tioumentsev won the short program, 3.43 points over Anastasia Golubeva / Hektor Giotopoulos Moore of Australia. They then went on to place second in the free skate and won the silver medal behind the Australians.

Competing as a senior pair team at the 2023 U.S. Championships, Baram/Tioumentsev won the pewter medal.

Selected to represent the United States at the

Intensive Care Unit. As a result, Baram/Tioumentsev had to skate the free skate without a coach. Despite this, the pair won the free skate and ultimately won the event, scoring personal best free skate and combined total scores in the process. Following the event, Tioumentsev said, "We skated for Todd and for everyone that has helped us through the season. It was very hard, and we tried to remember what Todd told us – to stay in the moment."[3][4]

In August 2023, Baram/Tioumentsev announced that they ended their partnership due to Tioumentsev wishing to focus on his studies at Arizona State University as well as his job at SpaceX. Regardless, Tioumentsev stated that he had no plans to retire but rather take a break from figure skating.[2][5]
