MS in figure skating 2025

Final result – Men:

BRATISLAVA. During the meeting he sang, he jumped all sovereignly. After it ended, he put on the stone face of the agent, but he was already smiling when he looked at the stamps.

Slovak figure skater Adam Hagara again confirmed his quality and balance and at the World Cup He drove an excellent free ride in Boston.

Thanks to it he improved by two rungs and took 16th place at the World Championship.

Hagara already had Olympic seat for sure after a short program. He considered that he would also include a four -shaped Tulup in the free ride, which he also trained in the championship venue.

Eventually, however, he went according to the established jump plan, without a quadrilateral.

« The decision was made in the morning before free rides. I also jumped the tulup on the training, but the problem is that if I didn’t jump on the ride, I’m not ready to move on, » He explained the 18-year-old racer in the Video-Access to Sportnet directly from the championship venue.

« I would like to have the tulp as my axel is that at any time, I will jump it and then there will be no problem to put it in the ride, » he added.

Hagara jumped two triple Axle in his free ride on James Bond and eight triple jumps.

He got the highest level of four for two pirouettes, the third pirueta and the step passage rated him three.

He got 154.29 points in free driving, which is his new personal maximum. With a total score of 232.62 points occupied 16th place.

Focused on each element

« I felt pretty good. I didn’t rule a bit while driving, but it was probably the fatigue of the season. I fought to the end and tried to fully go the whole program, » Hagara said.

A month ago, he won a bronze medal at the World World Championship. Since then, he has trained a free ride with a four -tub, which of course changes the order of other jumps. When he decided to go without a quadruple, he had to reorient himself to the original plan.

« I wasn’t quite ready with Axla, because I trained this program with a four -tubed Tulup, so after the junior world championship I tried it in this competition, » said Hagara with a smile.

He was also sovereign on the ice. He even sang during the meeting. « He played Eminem in the background. They put good songs in the hall, so I was happy, » he laughed.

He was traditionally friendly and funny with journalists, but immediately after the program did not show emotions.

« I had a stone face, it’s James Bond! I looked like an agent. But I was very happy. I focused on every jump, every element because I wanted to go a clean program, » said Hagara.

The best result from the ms

For the Slovak figure skater it was the fourth World Championship and its best result so far. He made his debut in 2022 in Montpellier, where he took 26th place, two years ago he was in Saitame 23.

Last year in Montreal, however, did not reach the finals, although he was expected to do it. After mistakes in a short program he finished 35th.

« Last year I failed to qualify for free rides. This year he showed me that I was very well trained and that it was not about me last year, but maybe it was also caused by new knives, which I changed them in front of the World Championship. This year’s championship helped me doubt myself. »

He admitted that he had his thoughts last year. « I was a little scared of the memory, but I had no doubt. I know what I know and in the short program I saw it throughout the season that I can ride it. Before driving, I always say one thing: I have to go fully and not give up, even if it will be difficult.

Filming and graduation

The World Championship in Boston Hagara closed an extremely successful season in which he defended bronze from the Junior World Championship and then won the Olympic seat.

But he will not have much time to relax. There are two exhibition performances in Trnava and Bratislava, and the next Sunday is starting a national concentration. It must be prepared for oral graduation and is also awaiting filming one of two films about Ondrej Nephel.

The new short program will be composed again with Belgian choreographer Jorik Hendrickx.

« And of course, I will train hard for four Tulup and four Salchow all summer. Next season I want to ride with a quadruple, » Adam Hagara promised.

Malinin went to the ice after his main challenge and the second man of the short program Japanese Jum Kagijama hesitated.

Nevertheless, Malinin did not relax, showing a famous performance with five four jumps and confirmed his domination in the current figure skating world.

He demonstrated the enormous power with a salt or four Salchow in combination with triple axel.
