Lagouge was born on 12 March 2000 in Strasbourg, France. She holds French and Russian citizenship.[1] Her mother is from Russia.[2]
Lagouge began learning to skate in 2003.[1] She began her competitive career in ladies' singles. She appeared on the advanced novice level from 2011 and moved up to the junior level by the 2014–2015 season. During her singles career, she spent some time training in Russia.[2]
In 2015, Lagouge began considering switching to ice dancing. Her family contacted Muriel Zazoui, who suggested Corentin Rahier 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.
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.
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 free dance and returned to Lyon for an operation.[2]
