Early years

Aymoz began learning to skate in 2003.[1] He became the French national junior bronze medalist in the 2012–2013 season and repeated the following season.

2014–2015 season: Senior international debut

Aymoz started the 2014–2015 season on the junior level, winning gold at the Lombardia Trophy and bronze at the International Cup of Nice. Making his senior international debut, he finished 8th at the 2014 NRW Trophy at the end of November. He placed fifth on the senior level at the French Championships, held in December, before winning the national junior title, in February 2015. Aymoz ended his season with a senior international medal, silver at the Coupe du Printemps in March.

2015–2016 season: Junior Grand Prix debut

Early in the season, Aymoz was coached by Véronique Cartau, Bernard Glesser, and Jean-François Ballester in Grenoble.[2] His ISU Junior Grand Prix debut came in late August 2015; he placed fourth at his sole assignment, in Riga, Latvia. After winning the senior bronze medal at the Lombardia Trophy in September, he made his first appearances on the ISU Challenger Series (CS), placing 7th at the 2015 CS Tallinn Trophy in November and 12th at the 2015 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb in December.

In February 2016, Aymoz won his second French national junior title.[3] In March, he represented France at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary; he qualified for the free skate by placing fifth in the short program. He finished 9th overall after placing 11th in the free skating. By the end of the season, he was training in both Grenoble and Annecy, overseen by Cartau, Didier Lucine, Claudine Lucine, and Sophie Golaz.[4]

2016–2017 season

In the first half of the season, Aymoz was coached by Didier Lucine, Sophie Golaz, and Véronique Cartau in Annecy.[5] In December 2016, he won the French national title. On 16 January 2017, the FFSG reported that Aymoz had decided to return to Grenoble and that the federation had sent Katia Krier for the intermediary period.[6] He placed 15th at the 2017 European Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

2017–2018 season

During the season, Aymoz trained with Katia Krier in Paris and with John Zimmerman in Tampa, Florida.[7] He took gold at the Denkova-Staviski Cup and finished tenth at his sole Grand Prix event, the 2017 Internationaux de France. His season ended after he finished second to Chafik Besseghier at the French Championships.

2018–2019 season

At his first event of the season, the 2018 CS Autumn Classic International, Aymoz placed eight in the short, third in the free, and fifth overall. He will compete at two Grand Prix events – the 2018 Skate Canada International and 2018 Internationaux de France.
