Career

Demougeot began learning to skate in 2008.[2] She teamed up with Théo Le Mercier in 2015. The two made their international debut in February 2016, at the Bavarian Open. They debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in August of the same year.

Demougeot/Le Mercier qualified to the final segment at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. They ranked fourteenth in the short dance, fifteenth in the free dance, and fifteenth overall.

In February 2019, they won the French national junior title for the first time. They placed seventh in the rhythm dance, ninth in the free dance, and eighth overall at the 2019 World Junior Championships in Zagreb, Croatia.

Beginning the 2019–20 season on the Junior Grand Prix, Demougeot/Le Mercier won silver medals at both JGP France and JGP Croatia, qualifying for the first time to the Junior Grand Prix Final, where they placed fifth.[3] Winning a second consecutive national junior title, they then placed sixth at the 2020 World Junior Championships.[4]

Following the COVID-19 pandemic causing the cancellation of what would have been their final international junior season, Demougeot/Le Mercier moved up to the senior ranks for the 2021/22 season. They made their Challenger series debut at the 2021 CS Lombardia Trophy, placing ninth.[5] Making their Grand Prix debut at the 2021 Internationaux de France, they finished ninth among ten teams.[6] After winning the bronze medal at their first senior French nationals, Demougeot/Le Mercier made their European Championships debut, finishing sixteenth.[7]
