Sara Conti

Sara Conti (born 2 August 2000) is an Italian pair skater. With her skating partner, Niccolò Macii, she is a 2026 Olympic Games team event bronze medalist, a two-time World bronze medalist (2023, 2025), the 2023 European champion, 2025 European silver medalist, a three-time ISU Grand Prix Final medalist, eight-time ISU Grand Prix medalist, and a three-time Italian national champion (2023, 2025–26). They are the first (and as of 2025, only) Italian pair to medal at the World Championships and to win gold at the European Championships.

Conti was part of the Italian figure skating team to win a bronze medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Personal life Conti was born on August 2, 2000, in Alzano Lombardo, Italy. Since 2025, Conti has been in a relationship with German-Spanish ice dancer, Tim Dieck.

Career Early career Conti began figure skating in 2005.

The following month, Conti/Macii competed at the 2025 World Championships in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The pair placed second in the short program and third in the free skate, winning the bronze medal overall behind Miura/Kihara and Hase/Volodin.

Selected to compete for Team Italy at the 2025 World Team Trophy, Conti/Macii placed second in all segments of the pair's event, aiding Team Italy in winning the bronze medal overall.

Following the Italian Championships, Conti sustained a knee injury and as a result, the pair withdrew from the 2026 European Championships. Due to this, Conti had to wear a knee brace upon returning to training and opted to wear one at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Two days later, Conti/Macii also went on to place third in the free skate segment. Their results, combined with those of their teammates, helped Team Italy win the Olympic bronze medal. One week later, Conti/Macii competed in the individual pairs event where they finished in sixth place overall. "We will remember this for a lifetime," shared Macii following their free skate. "Because we had the biggest emotions here at this event... In life you experience great happiness and great sadness, ups and downs. These two weeks were exactly like that. And maybe the next days will feel more flat. But here, we felt everything. We really felt at home. And I'm really proud of my partner. We had a great journey to get here. And now, we will look to the future."

The following month, it was announced that Conti/Macii would not compete at the 2026 World Championships.

In late May, it was announced that Conti/Macii had parted ways due to Macii deciding to retire from competitive figure skating. Conti, meanwhile, shared her plans to search for a new pair skating partner.
