Career

Kocon competed for France as a single skater on the junior level. He started pair skating in 2007 when he teamed up with Nicole Della Monica, who was also a single skater until then.[2] They represented Italy at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Their partnership ended in January 2011 — Della Monica had a chronic inflammation in her left knee and her recovery time was uncertain.[3]

In 2012, Kocon trained with Lubov Iliushechkina.[4]
