Minerva Hase & Nikita Volodin
The surprise couple
Also taking part in Art on Ice are Berlin pairs skaters Minerva Hase and Nikita Volodin, third-placed at the 2024 World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal, Canada. The high-flying pair have risen rapidly. The couple have only been skating together since June 2022 and, thanks to hard work and a good partnership, surprised everyone in their first international season, in 2023, with two Grand Prix victories and the German championship.
The pair also made an excellent start to the current season at the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf in September 2024. They won with a personal best in both programmes.
