In the 1997–98 season, Dinev won two gold medals on the ISU Junior Series and qualified for the Final where he took the silver medal. He competed at his first Olympics in 1998, finishing 11th.

At the 1999 World Championships, Dinev became the first Bulgarian skater to land a quadruple toe loop in competition.[1] He won bronze at the 1999 Trophée Lalique, becoming the first skater from his country to medal at a Grand Prix event.[1]

At the 2000 Sparkassen Cup, Dinev's blade broke during a warmup before the free skate; he bought a replacement of a different brand and finished 5th.[1] He went on to win bronze at two other GP events, the 2001 Cup of Russia and 2001 NHK Trophy.

Dinev then moved to Lake Arrowhead, California, to work with Rafael Arutyunyan.[3] He missed his 2002 Grand Prix events due to a broken leg.[3] From 2004 to 2005, he was coached by Igor Pashkevich in Los Angeles and Sofia.[4][5]

In the 2005–06 season, Dinev was coached by Angela Nikodinov.[6] He competed at his third Olympics, finishing 17th, and retired from competition at the end of the season.

Dinev and Nikodinov coach together in Harbor City, California. Together, they coached Kaitlyn Nguyen, who won the 2017 U.S. junior ladies' title.[7] He and Nikidinov now coaches at the Lakewood Ice Skating Club in Lakewood, California, alongside Derrick Delmore.[8] His other students have included Starr Andrews, Zhu Yi, and Soho Lee.[9][10][11]
