Early career
Razgulajevs began skating in 2001. His first ice dancing partner was Katie Desveaux. The two finished fourth on the novice level at the 2012 Canadian Championships and began appearing as juniors the following season. At Nationals, they were 7th in 2013 and 11th in 2014. Their partnership came to an end in 2014.
Partnership with Bent
Bent teamed up with Dmitre Razgulajevs in spring 2015. Making their international debut, they won the silver medal at the 2015–16 ISU Junior Grand Prix event in Colorado Springs, Colorado. They finished 5th at their second JGP assignment, in Logroño, Spain. The two missed the Skate Canada Challenge in December because Razgulajevs experienced vertigo but the following month they won the junior gold medal at the 2016 Canadian Championships. Ranked ninth in both segments, they finished ninth at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary.
Having aged out of juniors, Bent/Razgulajevs moved up to the senior level in the 2016–17 season. They placed fourth at the Lake Placid Ice Dance International.
