The following season, he claimed a podium finish in the relay at the IBU Junior Cup. In 2018, he was sixth in the individual at the Junior World Championships in Otepää, then, a few months later at the Junior Summer Biathlon World Championships, he won the titles in the sprint and mixed relay.

In 2018–2019, he made his senior debut at the IBU Cup, then at the World Cup in Hochfilzen, before being selected for the World Championships in Östersund.

At the opening 2019-2020 World Cup event, he managed to score points with his 39th-place finish in the Östersund sprint. He then broke into the top thirty at Hochfilzen (29th), before breaking into the top twenty at Le Grand-Bornand, where he finished sixteenth in the sprint. His other highlight of the winter was a silver medal at the Junior World Championships in Lenzerheide in the sprint.[2]
