Overview
- The German pair totaled 221.38 points to Japan’s 221.03, overcoming a shortfall in their jump combination as Riku Miura fell on a triple throw.
- The result marked Hase/Volodin’s third Nebelhorn Trophy title and their first competition of the 2025–26 season.
- Nebelhorn is part of the ISU Challenger Series, serving as an early-season test where new programs and elements receive judges’ feedback.
- German ice dancers Jennifer Janse van Rensburg and Benjamin Steffan finished fourth with 180.05 points, 0.12 behind Canada’s Marie-Jade Lauriault/Romain Le Gac, as Britain’s Lilah Fear/Lewis Gibson won.
- Canada’s Stephen Gogolev won the men’s event with 255.06 points, and Hase/Volodin plan to continue their build-up with a start in Georgia in roughly two weeks after Volodin’s recent German naturalization cleared eligibility.
