Skater Julia Sauter, a German athlete competing for Romanian has qualified to the Winter Olympic Game, to be held in Italy’s Milan in 2026. She came in 16th in the short program as part of the World Artistic Skating Championships hosted by the city of Boston, in the USA. Sauter will thus compete in the long program, where the first 24 skaters have got through.
