Hase and Volodin commit to another Olympic cycle

[Sabsi]

It’s official: Minerva and Nikita have committed to another Olympic cycle!

I honestly couldn't be happier. Watching them grow and dominate on the ice has been such a joy, and knowing we get to see them push boundaries for another four years is just great news.

They still have so much more to give, and honestly, the thought of them aiming for the next Olympics makes me so excited for the upcoming seasons.

Ok, we really needed this one

Happy to hear that! They're very artistic. Go, MiNiki!

THIS news!

 

[synesthesia]

Wonderful news! Particularly given that it was initially unclear whether they would be able to continue due to the uncertain situation regarding their primary training facility.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

I think them winning Worlds helped with making sure their training base will still be there. Haven't found any official sources on that one, so that's just what I'd like to believe but yeah I'm really happy they'll continue, so I have at least one team to root for when I go th France in 2030 (planning far ahead here)

Great news!

Another pleasing bit of news. Yay. Go-go Miniki!

 

[noskates]

Wonderful news. I love their elegance on the ice.

Their biggest competition will be the Georgians with many other pair teams retiring and splitting. No clear answer yet on Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps on if they will continue. That would leave Efimova/Mitrofanov who are still growing as team.

Next year maybe, but looking at 2030, I think simplifying the rules will make the field wider and the competition closer.

Excellent news. They head the very short list of pairs that I really enjoy.

 

[Dreamer57]

Thrilled for them and what a cool announcement!

Great news!! Can't wait to see what programs they come up with. Their SP last season was in my top 3 favorites overall

Greatest news for me so far. They are my favorites. I love their tango SP last year. I'm hoping that they will consider working with Marie France who did wonderful works for Ellie and Danny.
