Career
Early years
Rahier began learning to skate in 2002.[1] He began his partnership with Hana Gassoumi by the 2010–2011 season. The following season, the two began competing internationally on the advanced novice level. Having won two national novice titles, they moved up to the junior level ahead of the 2014–2015 season but their partnership dissolved by the end of the season.[2]
2015–2016 season
In 2015, Muriel Zazoui suggested Natacha Lagouge as a potential partner. After a successful tryout, the skaters decided to train together in Lyon.[2] They placed 7th at the French Junior Championships in February 2016.
2016–2017 season
Lagouge/Rahier received two ISU Junior Grand Prix assignments; they placed 6th in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France, and 4th in Ljubljana, Slovenia. They were awarded the junior silver medal at the NRW Trophy and gold at the French Junior Championships. They placed 8th in the short dance, 11th in the free dance, and 11th overall at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan.
2017–2018 season
In September 2017, Lagouge/Rahier won the bronze medal at the ISU Junior Grand Prix in Austria. They withdrew from JGP Croatia; Lagouge fractured her hand during a practice before the short dance, competed for the first segment and finally gave up and returned to Lyon for an operation.[2]
