We recap the earth shattering action from World Figure Skating Championships 2024 in Montreal, including Ilia Malinin's historic 6-Quad winning free skate, the 3-peat gold for Kaori Sakamoto, and Canada's own Stellato-Dudek & Deschamps finally ascending to the Pairs throne. The 2024 World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal gave us several moments we expected, others we wished for, and whole lot we never could have predicted. Most of all, it gave us countless extraordinary skating moments we won't soon forget. Men's Competition The formal coronation of the Quad God, Ilia Malinin, as the biggest rockstar in men's figure skating happened here—with a program that literally had us screaming in our living room in disbelief. Coming into the free skate a close third behind reigning World Champion, Shoma Uno, and returning Olympic silver medalist, Yuma Kagiyama, Malinin closed the event with a World Record-breaking free skate that started with a quad axel, ended with a boggling triple lutz-triple axel combination, and found room in the middle for 5 other quads. At the end of it, Malinin collapsed while the arena went bonkers — knowing they had seen something extraordinary. His first world title is certainly one to remember. In the silver slot, the utterly brilliant Yuma Kagiyama skated in a way that would have won him any other title on any other night. His continued growth as an artist as much as an athlete is glorious to watch, and while this year gold may not have been his, do not underestimate his potential to win the Olympic gold medal. He's on a path that could definitely get him there. In third, with the biggest comeback ever seen in ISU competition, was Adam Siao Him Fa from France. As if jumping from 19th to 3rd with an incredibly powerful free skate wasn't enough, he was second in the free program only to Ilia — and did that while also including an illegal backflip that cost his 2 points. It was bold, intense, and one of the best stories to come out of the championship. In fourth, Shoma Uno — who led after the short — had a rougher free skate than we've seen from him in quite a long time and couldn't hold onto a podium position. That said, he was still Shoma — meaning he was still brilliant and amongst the class of the field. Rounding out the top 5 was Jason Brown — who again competed very little internationally this season, only to come to Worlds with no quads and still skate SO BEAUTIFULLY that he landed amongst the top men in the world. Fingers crossed we see him again next year as the sport is always better for having him still competing in it. Pairs Competition All season long, we've been watching Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps look like they were ready to take that step into being World Champions — but a few moments during the season had us worried the title may not happen this year. Our worries were wasted, thankfully, as Deanna and Maxime put down two dazzling programs that led to their history-making win on home soil in Canada. To say this moment was emotional is a massive understatement. As the oldest woman to ever win a figure skating world title in any discipline at 40 years old, Deanna becomes, not only a legend in the sport, but even more of an inspiration than she'd already proved herself to be. An extraordinary moment for this exceptionally talented team and fans everywhere to share. Riku Muira & Ryuchi Kihara came to Montreal with a lot of question marks. As the reigning World Champs, they were certainly not to be discounted — but injury had kept them from most competitions this season and it was unclear how they would perform. With a win in the free skate and a silver medal overall, they silenced all of those who doubted them and shined like the champions they are. In a scary moment, Ryuichi had to be helped by EMTs directly following their free skate — unfortunately meaning they missed the medal ceremony. Thankfully, he bounced back quickly and the organizing committee redid the medal ceremony on Saturday night to allow them to participate. Taking the bronze medal were the surprise pair of the season, Germany's Minerva Fabienne Hase & Nikita Volodin. After their misstep at the European Championships, this team came here and showed why they went undefeated in the first part of this season, with two very strong programs that defy their short time together. We cannot wait to see how this team evolves and gets even better with time. Women's Competition Kaori Sakamoto proved again why she's in a league of her own right now in the women's division, coming back from a 4th place finish in the short program to win her third gold medal. This third world title makes her the first woman since Peggy Flemming in the 1960's to win three consecutive world championships. Taking a bit of a surprise silver, Isabeau Levito came back from a rough US Nationals to skate two exceptional programs and earn her first World medal. This is the first silver medal the US has taken in the women's event since Ashley Wagner in 2016. In third for the bronze was Chaeyeon Kim from South Korea — who skated a near flawless free skate to move up from 6th to 3rd. This 17 year-old skater has only been on the ice for 7 years and is already a world medalist — it will be very interesting to see how far she can go! In a disappointing placement, Loena Hendrickx — who won the short program — ended up in fourth overall after a sluggish, error-laden free skate. Ice Dance Competition The most predictable of the disciplines provided some excellent performances—but stayed to the script in terms of the medals. Madison Chock & Evan Bates decimated the rhythm dance, earning a sizable lead that they needed after a small mistake in the free dance—which was still absolutely gorgeous and enough to earn them their second world title. The silver went to the hometown heroes, Canda's Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier, who won the free dance with the best performance of their Wuthering Heights program of the season. Their rhythm dance again seemed just a bit less impactful and held them back from taking the title. In the bronze position was Italy's Charlene Guignard & Marco Fabbri, who turned in two extraodiary performances that may have been the most technically sound of the event. However, a few small issues in their free dance — and a larger one with a scary costume malfunction — dropped them from 2nd in the short to 3rd overall.

World Championships 2024 Preview PART TWO: Men and Ice Dance

In part two of our 2024 Worlds preview, we dig into the absolutely stacked Men's competition, including the “Thrivalry” between Shoma Uno, Ilia Malinin, and Yuma Kagiyama. Then we go deep into the Ice Dance lineup, which promises to be a close showdown between 3-4 top teams. In this week's episode, we're shooting our final shot at predictions for the 2024 World Figure Skating Championships — this time discussing the men's and dance competitions. From the “Trivalry” we're expecting to see between Ilia Malinin, Shoma Uno, and Yuma Kagiyama in the men's event to a probable four-way race for the podium in the dance event, we're holding our breath for these two competitions. Men's Competition This season has been an incredibly strong one in the men's division, making this event possibly the most competitive and anticipated of the World Championships events. Coming in off his Grand Prix Final win, Ilia Malinin heads to Montreal as a definite favorite for the podium. He didn't have the best US Nationals, but also didn't have much competition there — so its possible that lessened his preparation. Regardless, he recently shared a quad toe loop / quad axel combination he's doing in practice — throwing an absolute gauntlet down to the rest of the field and clearly stating that he will be tough to beat if he skates cleanly. However, he's not alone in the “favorites” camp — Japan's Yuma Kagiyama and reigning World Champ, Shoma Uno, are coming in looking phenomenal. Kagiyama showed up better than ever at Four Continents back in February — taking that title in a dominant fashion and giving him a ton of momentum coming into Worlds. Uno has looked solid all season, but hasn't had quite the consistency and has been “plagued by the q” (I.e. quarter understated jumps) on a few occasions. We're crossing every finger and toe that he can bring to Montreal his fight and his special artistic magic — and get on that podium again! Also in the medal mix, the early-season frontrunner — Adam Siao Him Fa — comes in after having along break since winning his second European title. His last three competitions have looked a bit messier than the near-perfection of the first half of the season, but you cannot count out this exceptional Frenchman on the rise. Japan's Kao Miura arrives hungry to his first World Championships — and has far less pressure on him than his countrymen. It'll be very interesting to see what he can bring to the ice here. There are quite a few other men here who could show up and surprise everyone, including one of skating's favorite sons, Jason Brown of the U.S, who is a wild card here but can never be counted out. All in all, this feels like the first real step towards the next Olympics and expect to see some big programs here. Ice Dance Competition Reigning World Champions, Madison Chock & Evan Bates of the US, come here seeking a repeat win and two great skates in their adopted hometown of Montreal — and we're here for all of that. However, Canada's darlings, Piper Gilles & Paul Porrier, have home country advantage as well as the highest score of the season. Not to be outdone, Italy's Charlene Guignard & Marco Fabbri have shown extraordinary performances throughout the season and may be the most consistent of the top three teams. So, while Ice Dance is usually the most predictable, this competition feels like a toss up between the three powerhouse teams. Waiting just a tiny bit behind them and ready to take a big step forward are Great Britain's Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson. They had a big surprise victory over Guignard & Fabbri at NHK Trophy last fall, and under the right circumstance on the right day, could slide onto the podium. It's a long-shot, but not impossible. What is wonderful about this competition is that there are also no less than a dozen other excellent teams all vying for top 10 finishes here. From Lithuania's brilliant Allison Reed & Saulius Ambrulevicius fresh off their European bronze medal to Finland's inventive Juulia Turkkila & Matthias Verslus to France's Evgeniia Lopareva & Geoffrey Brissaud who recently went viral with their rave-inspired exhibition program — there will be a lot of skating to love regardless of placement.

World Championships 2024 Preview PART ONE: Women and Pairs

Part One of our World Figure Skating Championships 2024 preview focuses on the deep field of the Women's event, and the volatile and unpredictable Pairs competition. We also discuss the controversial Ice Dance Rhythm Dance themes for the next two seasons, Audrey Shin's move to Pairs, and Ilia Malinin's practice 4T+4A sequence. The 2024 World Figure Skating Championships are so close we can smell the Montreal bagels — which means it's a good time for us to start talking about the biggest competition of the year! In this episode, we're focusing on the Women's and Pairs events — which both start on Wednesday, March 20th and promise to serve up some surprises. Women's Competition Preview For all that this field has a few clear standouts, it also has a deep pool of talent standing right behind them ready to step forward. Kaori Sakamoto — the reigning two time World Champion from Japan — comes in as the favorite, but not an untouchable one. While she's had a very strong, consistent season and garnered the highest score of any women this year, Belgium's Loena Hendrickx isn't far behind. Loena has two Worlds medals, but neither of them are gold. We expect she'll be vying for a spot on the podium and — if she can skate cleanly — maybe even in the hunt for the top spot. Right behind these two powerful medal favorites fighting for gold are two more young Japanese favorites, Mone Chiba and Hana Yoshida, who will definitely be in the hunt. South Korea's Chaeyeon Kim, Georgia's Anastasiia Gubanova, Belgium's Nina Pinzarrone, and the two American women — Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito — are all also capable of taking a medal. Not completely out of consideration is last year's World Silver medalist, Haein Lee from South Korea, who's had a rough season but is entirely capable of pulling off an upset if she's at her best. Considering there's even more great talent not named above that will be giving their all in Montreal, this has the potential to be the best women's event we've seen since the Beijing Olympics. Pairs Competition Preview The pairs discipline has been a bit of a wild ride this season. From super high highs (looks at you, Deanna and Maxine) to fairly disappointing lows (sadly thinking of the US Nationals right now), we're unsure what to think — but definitely hoping for a big, bold battle for the podium here. If they are at even close to their best, Canada's Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps will be the class of this field. Whether that translates to gold or not will likely be based on how clean they are and how strong teams like Germany's Minerva Fabienne Hase & Nikita Volodin and reigning World Champs, Japan's Riku Miura & Ryuichi Kihara skate. Italy also has two powerful, if inconsistent, teams that could definitely be in the medal mix in newly crowned European champions, Lucrezia Beccari & Matteo Guarise and last year's World bronze medalists, Sarah Conti & Niccolo Macii. Also in the conversation, 2024 World Junior Champions from Georgia, Anastasiia Metelkina & Luka Berulava may have faltered at their past two competitions, but are not to be underestimated. And don't discount last year's fifth place finishers, Emily Chan & Spencer Akira Howe from the US. We haven't seen them much this season due to a injury, but what we did see was noteworthy enough to keep an eye on them for a top 5 finish again. There's at least five other teams that could pull off an upset based on what we've seen this season, so we recommend to expect the unexpected in this discipline in Montreal.

We review the action from the World Figure Skating Championships 2023 in Saitama, Japan — triumphs, surprises, disappointments, and occasionally questionable scoring. ... Analysis of the Figure Skating World Championships 2023 After a long post-olympic season, the best-currently-competing-skaters from around the globe converged on the World Figure Skating championships in Saitama, Japan. They and gave us a few disappointments, some great surprises, and a lot of gorgeous (even when it wasn't not perfect) skating! In this super-sized episode, we cover each of the disciplines in a lot of detail — comparing notes on our favorite performances of the competition and talking through everything from the emotional kiss-and-cry's to the questionable-as-ever judging. Pairs Competition Highlights Riku Miura & Ryuichi Kihara's win—in spite of a flawed free skate—brought Japan their first Pair's world title. They are our favs of the season, making us feel our full range of emotions every skate. Alexa Knierim & Brandon Frazier coming through for silver—in spite of the terrible health crisis their coach and friend, Todd Sand, is going through. Sara Conti & Niccolò Macii from Italy skated to the moment with two exceptional programs. Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps skated strong, if not flawlessly, for 4th place at their first worlds. That, in and of itself, is an incredible feat for the Canadians. We saw particularly great showings by Lia Pereira & Trennt Michaud from Canada (they are ones to watch next year!) and Emily Chan & Spencer Akira Howe from the US. Final thought: We need more pairs teams ASAP! Women's Competition Analysis Kaori Sakamoto held on after a phenomenal short, and a not-as-perfect long program, to claim her second world title. The grit she showed completing the second triple in a combo after popping the first shows why she is a champion's champion. That, and her fantastic sportsmanship during the medal ceremony celebration. An absolutely amazing performance by Haein Lee for the silver caps a breakthrough season for this young talent from South Korea. We expect her to be a THREAT next season. Loena Hendrickx's resolute fight through both programs to grab bronze was lovely to see, and a nice way to end a rocky season for her. Isabeau Levito was near-perfect in the short, but an unfortunate fall on the triple lutz and other small mistakes dropped her to 4th overall. Still wildly impressive, even if disappointing for the young American. Now if we could just get the America program and media to stop over-hyping her so she can just concentrate on her skating… Mai Mihara was a dream in the short, but could not sustain the momentum in the long and dropped to 5th. Still, big season for the Japanese veteran and reigning Grand Prix champion. What a competition for Germany's Nicole Schott! A Top Ten finish and a personal best is a huge accomplishment this deep into a long career. Amber Glenn and Bradie Tennell were scored low enough to land outside the top ten — leaving the US with only 2 Women's spots for 2024 Worlds. Thank goodness Maddie Schizas changed her long program. (We were practically begging her to get rid of that wretched West Side Story free skate.) Redemption is a great way to end her season! Final thoughts: Not the best overall competition. A lot of little mistakes from nearly everyone except Haein and Nicole. Hoping to see some more personality and variety in next year's programs. Ice Dance Competition Thoughts FINALLY, Madison Chock & Evan Bates go from bridesmaid to bride, taking home the World Championship gold — even with a fluke (and largely irrelevant) fall. Surprise-but-well-deserved silver for the highly technical Italians, Charlène Guignard & Marco Fabbri — already making their case for the 2026 Olympic podium. A bronze for Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier with lovely, if a bit tight and sluggish, skates. Not what we expected, really, but great to see them skate well. Very surprising 4th place finish for the good time dance team of Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson. This often mid-tier team lit up the Japanese crowd and, apparently, the international judges. Deeply underscored (or were others over scored??) Laurence Fournier Beaudry & Nikolaj Sorensen of Canada unquestionably deserved to be on the podium. Their 5th place finish is our biggest complaint in all of the Worlds judging. Best moment: Kana Muramoto & Daisuke Takahashi, no contest. Their free skate was an explosion of emotion and pure joy. Though Ice Dance is the least popular discipline in Japan, this performance on home might just change that trend. Final thoughts: Impressive skates by the top 12 teams, but WTF is up with the scoring?! Men's Competition Celebration Shoma Uno showed up, regardless of ankle injury concerns and weeks of terrible practices, to win his second consecutive world title. The Short King Reigns! Wow wow wow, Junhwan Cha is The Moment!! Possibly the performance of the competition overall, the South Korean skater nabs silver with two fantastic skates. Ilia Malinin gave us a great quad axel and a slightly tight performance in the long to earn his first world medal, bronze. Though an extraordinary jumper and technician, the international judges sent a clear message that his artistic elements were not equal to the rest of the top 5 skaters. Its something Ilia clearly took to heart, commenting on it during the press conference, with an intend to focus more on artistry next season. OMG, what an unexpected competition for Kevin Aymoz — a 4th place Worlds finish for him is gold for us all. Two flawless performances elevated this French artiste well above his own expectations. WE LOVE YOU KEEGAN MESSING! This short program was a thing of beauty. The free skate saw him drop in the standings, but not in the hearts of the audience and skating fans everywhere. Thank you, Keegs, for all these years on the ice. You're a legend. Jason Brown lands in 5th on the scoreboard, but first in our hearts. His performances were simply perfect, top to bottom. “Master of the Blade”, indeed. Kazuki Tomono is a force of nature. Wasn't perfect, but a damn delight on the ice. Expect big things for his future. Lukas Britschgi from Switzerland made his case for one-to-watch status going into next season. Final thoughts: A stellar competition to end Worlds 2023!

Tara Lipinski, the internationally acclaimed figure skater who won over the world's hearts when she earned the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Olympics - earning her the distinction as the youngest individual gold medalist ever in Winter Games history - has applied the same grace, finesse and assiduous character as a role model to empower a whole generation of young girls to achieve any goal they set their minds to. Tara was also recognized as the youngest ever World Figure Skating Champion and United States Champion. In the time since her Olympic triumph, Lipinski has taken the same championship-style approach to her roles as a TV sports commentator for NBC, NBC Sports and Universal Sports, an actress, a philanthropist and more. In following her love for performance as a popular professional ice skater into these new high-profile jobs, it is clear Lipinski was born to be a performer both on the ice and on the screen.Today, Tara is NBC's prime time figure skating TV Analyst, covering events like the World Figure Skating Championships, the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series, the U.S. Figure Skating National Championships and the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. After her huge success at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, with NBC Sports, she was promoted to the NBC prime time team for the 2018 Olympic Games in South Korea. Aside from figure skating, NBC has enlisted Tara for its live event coverage of the Kentucky Derby, Super Bowl XLIX and 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Previous to her role at NBC, Tara attended Olympic Games where she worked with many of the world's top media outlets and partnered with sponsors, further burnishing her global stature as an iconic Olympian of accomplishment and inspiration.The strength of character, determination, expertise and Tara's infectious joie de vivre that has become her enduring brand can be seen in the golden moments of her winning Olympic performance, yet were instilled at an early age. It all began when as a three-year-old in Sewell, New Jersey, she started roller skating, and went on at age nine to win the primary girls freestyle title at United States Roller Skating Championships.At 13 years old, Lipinski went on to become the first female skater to land a triple loop/triple loop jump combination - a signature element of her performances. On reaching the amateur pinnacle of her sport with her Olympic achievements, Tara turned professional and proved her public appeal has a strong audience draw on such events as Stars on Ice, Champions on Ice and Ice Wars. She co-headlined with Scott Hamilton and Kristi Yamaguchi on the Stars on Ice tour and starred in the Pro Team competition Ice Wars that aired on CBS prime time.A deal with CBS Television resulted in her own primetime special, Tara Lipinski: From This Moment On, and led to dozens of cameo TV appearances and acting roles on such primetime series as Kidding, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Malcolm in the Middle, Veronica's Closet, 7th Heaven, and The Young and the Restless, among others.Tara also authored two bestselling books entitled Triumph on Ice and Totally Tara.Lipinski currently divides her time between Los Angeles and New York as well as the house she helped design on the South Carolina coast when she has time to get away from her busy career.ABOUT HER NEW SHOW WEDDING TALK, PREMIERING OCTOBER 13th CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL ENTERTAINMENT PUTS A RING ON THE ORIGINAL SERIES WEDDING TALK PREMIERING OCTOBER 13thDive into all things weddings with hosts Olympic gold medalist and commentator Tara Lipinski, event planner Jose Rolen and wedding designer Jove MeyerPremieres exclusively on the Chicken Soup for the Soul and Crackle free streaming appsCrackle Plus, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (Nasdaq: CSSE) company and one of the largest operators of advertising-supported video on demand (AVOD) streaming services, today announced the original series, Wedding Talk, starring hosts Tara Lipinski, Jose Rolon and Jove Meyer will debut October 13.
