Career

At the Junior World Championships he competed in 2013 and 2016 (U23) with modest results. He made his World Cup debut in March 2015 in Lahti. A breakthrough was his 16th place in the Oberstdorf sprint during the 2021–22 Tour de Ski. During the late 2021–22 FIS Cross-Country World Cup season, he collected World Cup points with 22nd places in Lahti and Holmenkollen, and began the 2022–23 season with a 15th place in the Beitostølen sprint. He equalled that placement in March 2023 in Lahti, and improved further to a 14th place in the Lahti 20 kilometres in March 2024.

Ahonen finished 10th in the sprint at the 2023 World Championships. He did not finish the 50 kilometres race.
