Daniel Wende (born 24 July 1984) is a German pair skater. With Maylin Wende (Hausch), he is a two-time German national champion and represented Germany at the 2010 Winter Olympics. They won their first Grand Prix medal, bronze, at 2010 Trophée Eric Bompard.

Career

After starting out as a singles skater, Wende switched to pair skating at about the age of 16–17.[1] He originally competed with Rebecca Handke with whom he is the 2005–2006 German national silver medalist. In the 2007–2008 season, he competed with Ekaterina Vasilieva. They were the 2008 German bronze medalists.

Wende teamed up with Maylin Hausch in September 2008, though their training was initially limited due to a ruptured ligament in his right foot.[2] They train in Oberstdorf and are coached by Karel Fajfr. Hausch / Wende won their first Grand Prix medal, bronze, at 2010 Trophée Eric Bompard.

In the 2011–12 season, Hausch / Wende were fourth at 2011 Nebelhorn Trophy. They were eighth at 2011 Skate America with Hausch suffering from tendinitis in her foot.[3] Hausch / Wende finished 7th at the 2012 European Championships. On January 26, during the morning practice before the long programs, Wende collided with Mari Vartmann while they were attempting to avoid a French couple.[4]

Hausch / Wende's training for 2012–2013 season began late due to death and illness in their families;[5][6] as a result, they withdrew from the 2012 Cup of Russia.[7] Wende experienced a spinal disc herniation in autumn 2012.[5] The pair withdrew from the 2013 German Championships. They were named in the German team to the 2013 European Championships but withdrew as well due to his back problem.[8] Wende was diagnosed with a second herniated disc in January 2013.[5]

The pair began competing as Maylin Wende / Daniel Wende in the 2013–14 season.

Personal life

Hausch and Wende were married in June 2013.[5][9]
