figure skating | EM in Tallinn: couple runners Hase/Seegert disappoint, all medals to Russia

As of: 01/13/2022 9:08 p.m



Failed dress rehearsal: Three weeks before the Olympic Games in Beijing, the German pair skating champions Minerva Hase and Nolan Seegert got into a form crisis.



After a faulty freestyle, the two Berliners only managed a disappointing eighth place at the European Figure Skating Championships in Tallinn. As expected, the top three Russian couples fought for the medals among themselves.

The new European champions were the junior world champions Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Galljamow ahead of Evgenija Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov as well as Alexandra Boikova and Dimitri Koslowski.

Mistakes with the German duo Hase/Seegert

By this time, Hase and Seegert had long been squatting in the catacombs with sad faces. The four-time national champions failed too much that evening. A crashing fall, a completely screwed up lift – with petrified expressions, the duo literally crept off the ice.

Aljona Savchenko suffered in her native Oberstdorf with the German couple. “You have to see it as a dress rehearsal. It’s better if the mistakes happen now instead of at the Olympics,” said the gold medalist from Pyeongchang 2018 on ARD. Hase explained the used day like this: “We put too much pressure on ourselves.”

Pair runners Hocke/Kunkel run past expectations

Annika Hocke and Robert Kunkel missed the hoped-for top ten by far. After a far from optimal freestyle, it was only enough for 13th place, so the third German starting place for the EM 2023 in Helsinki was lost.

On the other hand, Nicole Schott got off to a solid start in the afternoon with a soulful but above all flawless tango. The six-time German champion is eleventh in the freestyle decision on Saturday (from 6.30 p.m. in the live stream from sportschau.de and on ONE) and showed improving form in her last Olympic test.

The European title fights will continue on Friday (from 1 p.m. in the live stream on sportschau.de and live on ONE) with the rhythm dance of the ice dancers. In the evening, the title in the men’s competition (Friday, from 6 p.m. in the live stream on sportschau.de) will be awarded.
