Alexander Mutowin already took part in two World Cup races in the 2002/03 season. In the following years he competed internationally in the European Skeleton Cup , which is part of the foundation of the World Cup. At the Junior World Championships in February 2006 in Igls , he won the bronze medal. In the 2006/07 season he returned to the World Cup after four races in the America's Cup . He finished his second race in Nagano in 12th place and thus achieved his best World Cup result. At the beginning of the 2007/08 season , Mutowin was used in the newly created Skeleton Intercontinental Cup. After good results, including a sixth place in Cesana Torinese , the Russian moved up to the World Cup again in January 2008 and was 21st in Cesana; at the Skeleton World Championship in 2008 , he finished 19th.

In the following years Mutowin could not establish itself in the World Cup and started in 2008/09 and 2009/10 mainly in the Intercontinental Cup and 2010/11 in the European Cup . After a break in the 2011/12 season, he achieved his first victories in the European Cup in the winter of 2012/13 and second in the overall standings behind Kilian von Schleinitz . Thereupon he started again in the Intercontinental Cup the following winter and celebrated his first victory there as well and finished third in the overall classification. Mutowin then took part in the World Cup final in Koenigssee , which was also the European championship in which he was eleventh. In 2014/15 he won another race in the Intercontinental Cup at the start of the season , but again only achieved 13th and 14th place in two World Cup competitions . In the 2015/16 winter he started in the European Cup , where he competed in the second race in Altenberg at the same time as Fabian Küchler won and also won the third race of the season in Sigulda .
