Hase and Wolodin Claim Silver at World Figure Skating Championships

The German pair achieved a personal best score but narrowly missed gold, while Germany's singles skaters face Olympic qualification challenges.

Minerva Hase and Nikita Wolodin earned silver in the pairs competition at the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships with a personal best score of 219.08 points.
The Japanese duo Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara won gold, edging out Hase and Wolodin by just 0.71 points.
Germany secured two Olympic quota spots in pairs skating, but Wolodin's unresolved citizenship process could hinder their participation in the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Germany's struggles in singles skating were highlighted, with Nikita Starostin failing to qualify for the men's free skate and no female skaters competing at the event.
A final opportunity for Germany to qualify singles skaters for the 2026 Olympics will take place in September 2025 in Beijing.
