Personal life

Hagara was born on 26 April 2006 in Trnava, Slovakia. He is the younger brother of Slovak figure skater Alexandra Hagarová, who is also one of his coaches.[1]

Career

Early years

Hagara began learning to skate in 2010.[1] He competed in the advanced novice ranks in the 2018–19 season and early the following season. His junior international debut came in December 2019 at the Santa Claus Cup in Hungary.[2]

In February 2020, Hagara won the Slovak national junior men's title.[2] In March, he competed at the 2020 World Junior Championships and placed 33rd in the short program. He made no international appearances the following season.

2021–22 season

Debuting on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series, Hagara placed 13th in Košice, Slovakia, in early September 2021. Later that month, he also made his senior international debut, finishing 23rd at the 2021 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, an Olympic qualifying event. Deciding to continue in the senior ranks, he placed ninth at the Budapest Trophy in Hungary and then won medals at his following three events – gold at the Tirnavia Ice Cup in Slovakia, bronze at Skate Celje in Slovenia, and bronze at the Santa Claus Cup in Hungary.

In December 2021, Hagara competed as a senior at Four Nationals. He placed third in the short program and fourth overall, 6.63 points behind third-place finisher Vladimir Samoilov, but finished as the best Slovak entry.[3] He was subsequently named in Slovakia's team to the 2022 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. He placed 25th at Europeans in January and 26th at the 2022 World Championships, which took place in March in Montpellier, France. In April, he qualified to the final segment at the 2022 World Junior Championships, placing 16th in the short and 21st overall.[4]

2022–23 season

Hagara began the season with two assignments on the Junior Grand Prix, finishing seventh at the 2022 JGP France and sixth at the second edition of the 2022 JGP Poland. He also won gold in the junior event at the Sofia Trophy.[4]

Competing as a senior, Hagara had one Challenger assignment, and was eighth at the 2022 CS Nepela Memorial. He had a number of other minor senior internationals, including a silver medal at the Santa Claus Cup, before winning a second Slovak national title at the 2023 Four National Championships, an event where he also finished second overall among the men.[4]

In the latter half of the season, Hagara reached the final segment at three ISU Championships. In January, he finished 18th at the 2023 European Championships in Espoo, Finland. In March, he placed 14th at the 2023 World Junior Championships in Calgary, Canada, before traveling to Saitama, Japan for the 2023 World Championships, where he finished 23rd.[4]

2023–24 season

Beginning the season on the Junior Grand Prix in early September, Hagara stood on a JGP podium for the first time, taking gold at the 2023 JGP Austria. It was Slovakia's first-ever gold medal in any discipline on the JGP series, and also his country's first medal of any colour in a JGP men's event since Juraj Sviatko's bronze in 1997.[5] He finished fourth at his second event, the 2023 JGP Hungary, before coming fifth at the 2023 CS Nepela Memorial on the senior level.[4]

Hagara's Junior Grand Prix results qualified him to the Junior Grand Prix Final, another first for a Slovak skater, which he called "a big responsibility." He finished third in both segments, winning the bronze medal, which he celebrated as "my dream."[6]
