Early years

Naumov began skating at age 5 after being inspired by his parents.[3] He is the 2013 U.S. national juvenile and the 2017 U.S. national novice champion, as well as the 2016 U.S. national novice and 2018 U.S. national junior bronze medalist. At the advanced novice level, Naumov is also the 2016 Gardena Trophy and 2017 International Challenge Cup champion.

Naumov made his junior international debut at the 2017 Philadelphia Summer International, winning the silver medal behind Ryan Dunk. He made his Junior Grand Prix debut at 2017 JGP Latvia, where he finished eighth. Naumov did not compete during the 2018–19 season due to injury.[4]

Naumov returned to competition in June 2019, after missing the previous season due to injury.[4] Competing on the 2019–20 ISU Junior Grand Prix, he placed seventh at 2019 JGP France.

Naumov won the junior title at the 2020 U.S. Championships. He landed two triple axels in his free skate and achieved a Level 4 on three elements. He told media: "I'm super excited with how I performed today, I was hoping to step up my game, and I was able to do that."[5] After attending the U.S. junior camp, he was named to the U.S. team for the 2020 World Junior Championships, alongside Ilia Malinin and Andrew Torgashev.[6] At the 2020 World Junior Championships, he placed tenth in the short and fourth in the free to finish fifth overall.[7]
