Figure skating star Minerva Hase: European champion and Olympic rooms!

Berlin, Deutschland - Minerva-Fabienne Hase, the 25-year-old figure skater from Berlin, enjoys great success in the world of figure skating. This year, she won the European champion's title in the pair run and recently won the silver medal at the Ichart Run World Championship in Montreal. In a conversation, Hase described how she has grown at her beginnings in sport with her partner Nikita Volodin, who has not yet been a German citizen, and what challenges they have overcome. At the World Cup bronze won bronze with a personal best of 210.40 points, which is the first German World Cup medal in figure skating since 2018. These successes are particularly noteworthy, since the two athletes had to face some difficulties in their collaboration, especially because of the language barrier that initially prevailed between them. Their now close partnership is characterized by trust and mutual respect. According to RBB24 Hase describes her motivation as a pure passion for sport and the aesthetics of the figure skating.

The recent successes of the rabbit and volodine are not only the result of hard work on the ice. Both runners train for four to six hours a day, with their units cover both ice and athletic training. Hase also emphasizes the importance of sports promotion in Germany. As a sports soldier, she receives a monthly salary from the Bundeswehr, which enables her to live as a competitive athlete. She sees the planned application of Berlin for the Olympic Games as a valuable opportunity for sport in Germany and believes that such major events could help secure investments in the promotion of children and future talents.

challenges on the way to the Olympic Games

Despite the success, the situation remains tense for Volodin. He needs a German passport to be able to participate in the 2026 Olympics and is currently working on fulfilling the necessary knowledge of German, with a teacher at his side. This illustrates the challenges with which athletes are faced with who live in a new country and do sports there.

The sporting performance of Germany, especially in figure skating and other disciplines, is increasingly critically considered. Ingo Froböse, a sports scientist, recently emphasized the need to reform sports promotion in Germany. He criticizes that the systematic viewing of young talents, as in the past in the federal youth games, no longer takes place. In a broader context, it turns out that other nations progresses in talent promotion and development, while Germany has difficulty finding young athletes in various sports. According to Deutschlandfunk it is urgently required to highlight and support the value of sport in society.

While Germany has collected eight gold medals at the Olympic Games in Paris so far, rhetoric among those responsible is clear: In order to secure the best places in the medal mirror, a renewal of sports funding is urgently required. The success of rabbit and volodine are shining examples of the potential that is in the German sports landscape when the funding is right.
