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 next 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.
