Adam Hagara

Adam Hagara (born 26 April 2006) is a Slovak figure skater. He is the 2024 Winter Youth Olympic silver medalist, two-time Junior World bronze medalist (2024, 2025), 2023–24 Junior Grand Prix Final bronze medalist and 2023 JGP Austria champion, and has seven senior international medals as well as five Slovak national titles (2022–2026).

He is the first Slovak figure skater to win a ISU Junior Grand Prix gold medal, to qualify and medal at a Grand Prix Final, to medal at an ISU championship event, and to land a clean quadruple jump in an ISU competition.

Career

Early years Hagara began learning to skate in 2010.

Going on to compete as a senior on the 2024–25 ISU Challenger Series, Hagara finished fourth at the 2024 Nepela Memorial.

In an interview following the event, he said, "I am so happy! I don’t know how I did it, but I did it. I can’t breathe right now anymore. It was definitely hard. My illness comes and goes, but I could definitely feel it during the skate, I just tried not to show it. I’m super happy with how it went. I did my job, and I’m so glad. Now, I will concentrate on Senior Worlds and my upcoming exams. I’ll see how that goes. I really hope to gain the Olympic spot. I’m also happy with the score, finally, I got over 150 in an ISU competition!"

At the senior 2025 World Championships, held in Boston in March, Hagara placed eighteenth in the short program and climbed to sixteenth place after the free skate. He considered attempting a quadruple toe loop jump, which he had been performing in his free skate in training, but decided not to. His performance won Slovakia a quota at the 2026 Winter Olympics for the second time since the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992, after Róbert Kažimír competed at the 1998 Winter Olympics.

2025–26 season: Milano Cortina Olympics

Hagara opened his season by competing on the 2025–26 ISU Challenger Series, finishing fifth at the 2025 CS Nepela Memorial and eleventh at the 2025 CS Trialeti Trophy.
