Career

Early career Torgashev began learning to skate in 2006.

In advance of the 2024 U.S. Championships, Torgashev was preemptively named to the American team for the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai, which were to take place the week after the national championships. At the NHK Trophy, Torgashev delivered a strong short program, earning a new season's best score, finishing fourth in that competition segment. He would place fifth in the free skate, where he obtained a new personal best free skate and combined total score, and finish fourth overall.

At the 2025 U.S. Championships, Torgashev won the silver medal behind Ilia Malinin after placing second in both the short program and free skate segments. Two days later, he delivered a personal best free skate, placing ninth in that segment and finishing twelfth overall.

In March, Torgashev completed his season at the 2026 World Championships. He placed seventh in the short program by setting a personal best score of 89.07 points. In the free skate, he placed eleventh with 160.34 points and finished tenth overall. "Last year in Boston, I felt enormous pressure to get spots for the Olympics, and it crushed me," he admitted after the skate. "Knowing now that I can be a good team player, just solid and reliable, without having to be spectacular, is a great feeling."
