His partnership with Olesya Pronina lasted at least five seasons, until 1999.[1] He then competed for three seasons with Julia Klochko (1999–2002), training under Galina Churilova in Kharkiv, Ukraine.[2] Klochko/Sarkulov won the Uzbekistani national title in the 2001–02 season and appeared at four ISU Championships – two Four Continents and two Junior Worlds.[3] In the 2002–03 season, he competed with Olga Akimova, coached by Churilova.[4] Sarkulov then had a brief partnership with Ashley Taylor but the two never competed together.[5] In 2007, he teamed up with Sun-hye Yu.
