Alisa Efimova and Ruben Blommaert are seventh after the short program. For Annika Hocke and Robert Kunkel, however, the start of the World Cup was disappointing.

After bronze in the European Championships in pairs, the duo Annika Hocke and Robert Kunkel started the competition full of self-confidence at the World Championships in Saitama, Japan. After the short program, however, the German pair skating champions are only on the disappointing 15th place and thus far behind their expectations. “II currently have back problems, we even thought about canceling our start at short notice. But we want to end the season well after the positive results at the German Championships and the European Championship‘ Kunkel said.

After a solid short freestyle, they will go into the freestyle decision on Thursday (3:00 a.m.) in seventh place. “We had one mistake, but the rest of the program was fineSo Bloommaert.
