At the 2020 World Junior Championships Gogolev popped his planned triple Axel in the short program into a single, resulting in a score of 67.27 and a placement of 18th. In the free skate he started off strong in the first half of his program, but had some trouble with the jumps in the second half, missing two combinations. He later explained that the tongue of his boot broke as he went to do the planned triple Lutz, inhibiting him from properly performing his remaining jump elements. He placed 14th in the free skate with a score of 124.18 to move up to 17th overall with a final score of 191.45.
