Olympic ice dance champions Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron shattered their own rhythm dance world record on Friday to take the lead over two American teams at the world championships in Montpellier, France
The world championships conclude Saturday with the free dance and the men's free skate, where Shoma Uno leads Yuma Kagiyama and Kazuki Tomono as they try to hold off American phenom Ilia Malinin and claim a Japanese sweep.
“We had the goal of staying focused but really letting the moment sink in a little bit more than at the Olympics,” Hubbell said. “Really living the joy of it and especially for myself, at the very end — from end of twizzles until the end — I had quite a fun moment. I was really just celebrating.” Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov, the silver medalists in Beijing, are among the many Russian skaters barred from competing in France. They also are two of several Olympic medalists facing a worldwide backlash after appearing at a rally to support President Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine.
“The bigger point is to tell the truth about what is happening in Ukraine,” Nikitin said, “and I hope this will help people in Ukraine who are now not safe — they are still in danger and lose their houses. I hope we can help all people in the world to understand what really happens because we saw it. Just six days ago we were in Ukraine.”
