Figure skater Nikita Volodin, who switched from Russia to Germany in 2022, won bronze at the 2025 Grand Prix Final.
Figure skater Nikita Volodin, born in Russia, now represents Germany after switching allegiances in 2022, partnering with Minerva Hase.
The duo earned a bronze medal at the 2025 ISU Grand Prix Final.
Volodin, who had limited opportunities in Russia, moved to Germany to continue his career, becoming a German citizen in 2024 through a rapid language course and residency.
His transition reflects a broader trend: at least 30 Winter Olympians since 2022 have changed national teams, often due to geopolitical restrictions limiting Russian athletes’ participation.
