Career

Early career

Seegert began learning to skate in 1999.[1] During the 2007–2008 season, he competed with Josephine Klinger in novice pairs.[3] The following season, he continued in the novice ranks with a new partner, Karolin Salatzki. In 2009–2010, Salatzki/Seegert moved up a level and debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series. They competed at two more JGP events, in 2010–2011, before ending their partnership.

Seegert's next skating partner was Vanessa Bauer. Making their international debut, the pair won the junior bronze medal at the International Challenge Cup in March 2012. In their second season together, Bauer/Seegert skated at two JGP events and took the junior bronze medal at the 2013 Bavarian Open. Their partnership came to an end after their third season.

2014–2015 season: First season with Hase

Seegert teamed up with Minerva Fabienne Hase in 2014.[1] The pair's international debut came in late November, at the 2014 NRW Trophy, where they took the bronze medal. In January 2015, they took bronze at the MNNT Cup before competing at the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm, Sweden; they placed 11th in the short program, 10th in the free skate, and 10th overall.They concluded their first season with bronze at the International Challenge Cup.

2015–2016 season

Making their ISU Challenger Series debut, Hase/Seegert placed 6th at the 2015 CS Nebelhorn Trophy. They then won gold at the 2015 NRW Trophy and finished 6th at the 2015 CS Tallinn Trophy. They received silver at the 2016 Sarajevo Open and at the 2016 Bavarian Open.

2016–2017 season

In November, Hase/Seegert won gold at the 2016 NRW Trophy and bronze at the 2016 CS Warsaw Cup. The following month, they competed at the German Championships but withdrew following the short program due to an injury to Hase.[4]

In January, Hase/Seegert skated at the 2017 MNNT Cup, placing 4th, and then at the 2017 European Championships in Ostrava; they finished 12th overall in the Czech Republic after placing 13th in the short program and 12th in the free skate. In March, the pair took bronze at the 2017 Cup of Tyrol before competing at the 2017 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. They achieved a personal best short program score, 59.76 points, but their ranking (19th) was insufficient to advance to the final segment.

2017–2018 season

In October, Hase/Seegert finished 8th at the 2017 CS Finlandia Trophy and 4th at the 2017 CS Minsk-Arena Ice Star. They outscored Annika Hocke / Ruben Blommaert by 5.77 points for the bronze medal at the 2017 CS Warsaw Cup in November. The following month, the pair won silver behind Aliona Savchenko / Bruno Massot at the German Championships, ranking second in both segments and obtaining 4.33 points more than Hocke/Blommaert.[5] Hase/Seegert were not included in Germany's team to the 2018 Winter Olympics, having finished third overall in the national qualification standings.[6]

Due to a back injury sustained by Hase, the pair was unable to accept a spot at the 2018 European Championships, which became available after Savchenko/Massot withdrew.[7]

2018–2019 season

In late July 2018, Hase/Seegert received their first Grand Prix invitations; they will compete at the 2018 Skate America and 2018 Internationaux de France.[8]
