2018–2019 season

Coached by Daineko and Vladislav Sesganov,^[1][5] Gumennik started his season with a gold medal at the 2018 JGP event in Vancouver, Canada. He ranked fourth in the short program but won the free skate and outscored the silver medalist, Tomoki Hiwatashi, by a margin of about seven points.^[6] At this event, he scored his personal best score of 220.04 points, and his free skating score of 150.35 points was the junior men's new record score. At his second JGP event of the season, he won another gold medal, now in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He was ranked first in both the short program and the free skate, and again he beat the same silver medalist, Tomoki Hiwatashi, this time by about 4 points. With two JGP gold medals, Gumennik qualified for the 2018–19 Junior Grand Prix Final, where he won the silver medal after placing third in the short program and second in the free skate.^[7] In January, he took gold at the 2019 Skate Helena.^[8]

In February 2019, Gumennik won the silver medal at the 2019 Russian Junior Championships after placing first in the short program and fourth in the free skate. Assigned to the 2019 World Junior Championships, he was fourth in the short program with a new personal best,^[9] and eleventh in the free program, and tenth overall.^[8]

2019–2020 season

In the 2019–2020 season, Petr Gumennik remained on the Russian junior figure skating team, coached by Veronika Dainek, Alexander Ustinov and choreographer Nikolai Moroshkin.^[10] On August 5 and 6, at the open skates of the Russian junior team in Novogorsk, Gumennik showed new short and free programs. Both programs were choreographed by Nikita Mikhailov.^[11] Gumennik said his goals for the season were to qualify for the JGP Final and win a medal at the Junior World Championship. He also said he planned to move to the senior level the following season and would attempt three quads in the free program, two Salchows and one Lutz.^[12]

Beginning the season on the 2019–20 Junior Grand Prix, Gumennik won the gold medal at the event in Chelyabinsk, Russia. At this event, he scored his personal best score of 222.14 points and made his first attempt at the quad Lutz, which ended in a step out.^[13] At his second event in Egna, Italy, Gumennik placed second behind Daniel Grassl.^[14] He then competed at the senior level at the 2019 CS Warsaw Cup, winning the silver medal.

Qualifying for the Junior Grand Prix Final, he placed fourth in the short program after falling on his opening triple Axel.^[15] He was fifth in the free skate after falling on his quad Lutz attempt and underrotating three other jumps and placed fifth overall.^[16]

Turning to the senior ranks full-time, Gumennik debuted his programs at the senior Russian test skates.^[23] Competing on the domestic Cup of Russia series, he won the bronze medal at the second stage in Moscow.^[24]

With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to affect international travel, the ISU opted to run the Grand Prix based primarily on geographic location, and Gumennik was assigned to the 2020 Rostelecom Cup. He placed second in the short program with a clean skate.^[25] He was sixth in the free skate, falling on an underrotated quad Salchow, but won the bronze medal.^[26]

A week before the 2021 Russian Championships, Gumennik began to suffer back pain which limited his training. He placed eighth in the short program after falling on his triple Axel and landing badly on his quad Salchow attempt.^[27] He was seventh in the free skate, rising to seventh place overall.^[28]

Gumennik participated in the 2021 Russian Cup Final, taking the silver medal.^[29]

2021–2022 season

Gumennik won the 2021 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge to open the season, setting new personal bests.^[30] His first Grand Prix assignment was initially the 2021 Cup of China, but following its cancellation, he was reassigned to the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia in Turin.^[31] He placed eighth at the event.^[32] 

At the 2022 Russian Figure Skating Championships, Gumennik finished in fifth. He said that he was "satisfied as I did everything I am capable of at this point" and vowed to add more quadruple jumps in the future.^[33]
