He had one partner in Juniors and two in Seniors over eight seasons in Russia before teaming with Hase, according to Wikipedia and his ISU bio:

True, but name one possible partner matching a 1.67 m woman with the option of obtaining German citizenship in time for the next Olys. He is a real find for her. What`s more surprising is, that he was competition ready so fast after only skating in shows.
Ooh, does he? I don't know how long it normally takes for German citizenship, just that Massot barely passed the language test in time. Maybe Minerva has gifted him with German textbooks once she tried out with him.
oh I meant that it took her five olympics to win gold. just around five tries, not partners specifically.Wouldn't that be TJ Nyman??
Watched an interview with them both and Minerva said, that it is a tight time frame, but with a realistic chance for 2026. He will start with proper German lessons after worlds.Ooh, does he?

Pereira/Michaud - their twist height seems back to where it was last season, which is good. Error on final lift, thankfully not too scary. Not their best outing, but I hope they recognize how good their results have been and not get down on themselves.
Ghilardi/Ambrosini - Vampires, Part 1. One of their less terrible jump days.
Pavlova/Sviatchenko - now that’s a scary lift error. Unfortunate late disruption to what was going pretty well, even if it’s a generic program. Conti/Macii - as far, far apart on the jump combination as they are in real life post-breakup. But the rest goes well. Good rally event for them after underwhelming Grand Prixes. Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps - Vampires, Part 2. I appreciate the effort to make rote elements like the pair spin stand out. Stood up on the jumps which is fine for a pair team, but to really be a consistent finisher on the big podiums they need more reliable/smooth throw landings. A hair behind the Italians, as was all too often the case last year, but Deanna makes a Final podium for the first time in 24 years.
Hase/Volodin - wow, it was tight among the top three. Interested to see how the eventual return of the Japanese will play into this.
They have only had basically one off season to train and develop programs though. The focus is on the elements. They want to try other kind of programs in the future and Minerva said that she needs to get out of her comfort zone musicwise, though it will be difficult for her to relax into, say, a more fun upbeat program. It`s not their fault, if the more seasoned couples can`t step it up.
She is so frikkin cute - nice to see her lighten up and have a laugh after what must have been a disappointing outcome for her.
^ Don't know if this Weibo link works - the video is Deanna sharing her skincare routine during the interview.
Apparently they aren't dating anymore.
Not THAT far apart, judging by that massive backstage embrace! Not doubting the breakup, but it doesn't seem to have been a rancorous one.
