Early career Kovalev began figure skating in 2000 at the age of six. Their first competition as a team was at the
2014 Master's de Patinage, although they would withdraw from the event after placing third in the short program. They would subsequently compete at the
2014 NRW Trophy and the
2015 Bavarian Open, finishing fourth at both events. Because of this, the Kovalevs finished World Championships with a strong eighth-place. In June, the pair announced that while continuing their coaching relationship with
Laurent Depouilly, that they would begin training at the ASGA Figure Skating Club.
2024–2025 season During the off-season, Pavel dislocated his ankle and underwent surgery during the summer. He would also injure his back shortly after returning to the ice and would subsequently be forced to miss another two weeks of training. The Kovalevs, having initially been told by doctors that they would likely need to sit out of the beginning of the season, Pavel would eventually be cleared to skate at the
2024 Master's de Patinage in late September, much earlier than the couple would have expected. They would ultimately win silver at the event. They would subsequently finish sixth at the
2024 Tayside Trophy. They opened the season by winning gold at the
2025 Master's de Patinage. They then competed at the
2025 Skate to Milano, the final Olympic qualifying event. At the event, the Kovalevs placed second in the short program and fifth in the free skate, placing fourth overall. Going on to compete on the
2025–26 Grand Prix series, the Kovalevs finished sixth at the
2025 Grand Prix de France. The following month, the Kovalevs competed at the
2026 European Championships in
Sheffield, England, United Kingdom, where they finished in tenth place. On February 6, the Kovalevs placed seventh in the short program in the
2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event. “There’s so much to enjoy here,” said Camille. “Honestly, everything. It feels like a dream come true. Every moment, we try to take pictures, look around, see what’s happening next, what we can do next. I really feel like a kid in Disneyland!” == Programs ==
