The 2022 World Figure Skating Championships were held from March 21 to 27, 2022, at the Sud de France Arena in Montpellier, France. Sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), the World Championships are considered the most prestigious event in figure skating. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. The competition determined the entry quotas for each skating federation at the 2023 World Championships. Shoma Uno and Kaori Sakamoto, both of Japan, won the men's and women's events, respectively. Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier of the United States won the pairs event, and Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France won the ice dance event.

Background

The World Figure Skating Championships are considered the most prestigious event in figure skating.[1] The 2022 World Figure Skating Championships were held from March 21 to 27, 2022, at the Sud de France Arena in Montpellier, France.[2] The 2022 World Championships were notable for a number of absences following the 2022 Winter Olympics. Reigning World and Olympic champion Nathan Chen of the United States and two-time World and Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan bowed out, citing injuries.[3][4] Additionally, the Chinese Skating Association opted not to send any skaters to the competition.[5]

Ban of Russian and Belarusian figure skaters

In 2016, an independent report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirmed allegations that the Russian Olympic team had been involved in a state-sponsored doping program, active from at least late 2011 through August, 2015.[6] On December 9, 2019, the WADA banned Russia from all international competitions after it found that data provided by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency had been manipulated by Russian authorities in order to protect athletes involved in its state-sponsored doping scheme.[7] Under the ban imposed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Russian athletes could not use the Russian flag or anthem in international competition and had to present themselves as "Neutral Athletes" or a "Neutral Team" at any world championships.[8] On February 19, 2022, Anna Shcherbakova stated her intention to compete at the World Championships after winning the Olympic gold medal.[9]

After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Nathalie Péchalat, then-president of the French Federation of Ice Sports, announced that no Russian or Belarusian athletes would be allowed to compete at the World Championships in France due to travel restrictions imposed by the French government, with no official word from the International Skating Union (ISU) as to whether the ban would extend further. When Péchalat's announcement was made, there were discussions about Russian skaters trying to attend the World Championships by flying into neighboring countries and traveling to Montpellier by road.[10] On March 1, 2022, the ISU banned all Russian and Belarusian skaters from participating in any international skating events.[11] These World Championships became the first major sporting event around the world, excluding the 2022 Winter Paralympics, to proceed with a Russian and Belarusian ban.[12]

Qualification

The number of entries from each nation for the 2022 World Championships was based on the results of the 2021 World Championships. These nations were eligible to enter more than one skater or team in the indicated disciplines.[13]

Couples competing in ice dance performed their rhythm dances on Friday, March 25.[2] Lasting no more than 2 minutes 50 seconds,[34] the theme of the rhythm dance this season was "street dance rhythms". Examples of applicable dance styles included, but were not limited, to: hip-hop, disco, swing, krump, popping, funk, jazz, reggae (reggaeton), and blues. The required pattern dance element was the Midnight Blues.[40] The rhythm dance had to include the following elements: the pattern dance, the pattern dance step sequence, one dance lift, one set of sequential twizzles, and one step sequence.[41]

Judging

Further information: ISU Judging System

For the 2021–2022 season, all of the technical elements in any figure skating performance – such as jumps, spins, and lifts – were assigned a predetermined base point value and were then scored by a panel of nine judges on a scale from −5 to 5 based on their quality of execution.[43] The judging panel's Grade of Execution (GOE) was determined by calculating the trimmed mean (that is, an average after deleting the highest and lowest scores), and this GOE was added to the base value to come up with the final score for each element. The panel's scores for all elements were added together to generate a total element score.[44] At the same time, judges evaluated each performance based on five program components – skating skills, transitions, performance, composition, and interpretation of the music – and assigned a score from .25 to 10 in .25 point increments.[45] The judging panel's final score for each program component was also determined by calculating the trimmed mean. Those scores were then multiplied by the factor shown on the following chart; the results were added together to generate a total program component score.[46]

or Free dance
Men 1.00 2.00

Deductions were applied for certain violations like time infractions, stops and restarts, or falls.[48] The total element score and total program component score were added together, minus any deductions, to generate a final performance score for each skater or team.[49]

Results

Men's singles

Donovan Carrillo of Mexico had to withdraw prior to the short program when the luggage with his skates did not arrive in time for the competition.[54] Cha Jun-hwan of South Korea withdrew from the free skate due to problems with his boots.[55]

During the short program, one judge received backlash from fans and the media for noting that Ivan Shmuratko of Ukraine had committed a "costume/prop violation" for wearing the Ukrainian national team's training outfit rather than his traditional skating costume.[56] Shmuratko did not receive a deduction due to a majority of the judges' votes being required, while the crowd gave him a standing ovation for his performance.[57]

Shoma Uno of Japan won the gold medal after a free skate that featured a quadruple loop, quadruple Salchow, quadruple flip, and a quadruple toe loop in combination, and his free skate score of 202.85 was a career-best for him. Yuma Kagiyama of Japan won the silver medal, while Vincent Zhou of the United States rallied back from a sixth-place finish in the short program to win the bronze medal.[58]

Women's singles

Kaori Sakamoto of Japan won the gold medal in the women's event, outscoring silver medalist Loena Hendrickx of Belgium by nearly twenty points. Despite an injury, Hendrickx became the first Belgian to win a World Championship medal in the women's event. "I had a lot of pain," Hendrickx stated after the competition, "but I wanted to show one last time that I can do it to finish my season strong."[60] With six triple jumps, Alysa Liu of the United States finished in third place. "I think I did really good. I’m really proud of myself," Liu stated. "I didn’t think I could do better than the Olympics."[60]

Pairs

Sofiia Holichenko and Artem Darenskyi of Ukraine chose to withdraw from the free skate due to a lack of training time following the Winter Olympics as well as the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[62]

Ashley Cain-Gribble and Timothy LeDuc of the United States, who were in second place after the short program, were forced to withdraw after Cain-Gribble fell during the free skate and knocked her head against the ice, requiring her to be removed from the ice on a stretcher and hospitalized.[63]

Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier of the United States won gold medals; it was the first time that an American pairs team had won the World Championship title since Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner in 1979.[64] Knierim and Frazier received a career-best score of 144.21 in the free skate and 221.09 overall to win the gold. "I had so many emotions," Knierim stated afterward. "It was so much gratitude, fulfillment, excitement, and disbelief."[65]

Ice dance

One day prior to the rhythm dance, the ISU rejected the proposed program by Ukrainian ice dancers Oleksandra Nazarova and Maksym Nikitin. Their program was set to music by Ukrainian artists – "1944" by Jamala and the Ukrainian folk song "Oi u luzi chervona kalyna" performed by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of BoomBox – and included a fifteen-second snippet of a speech by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Ukrainian language calling for peace; the ISU cited the speech portion of the program as "propaganda".[67] Following intervention by their federation, Nazarova and Nikitin were allowed to compete using a version featuring only the music and, like Ivan Shmuratko, they wore the colors of the Ukrainian national team rather than their traditional costumes and received a standing ovation.[67][68] Despite limited training time leading up to the event, they said that they wanted to perform their new program to "express what they are living through."[69] After the rhythm dance, Mikhail Makarov, president of the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation, issued an appeal to Jan Dijkema, president of the ISU, and Sergey Bubka, president of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, seeking to understand the rationale behind the ISU's decision.[67] Nazarova and Nikitin later withdrew from the free dance, feeling that performing their upbeat program set to music from Moulin Rouge! was inappropriate in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[70][71]

Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France, who were favored to win the ice dance event, broke their own world record scores in the rhythm dance, the free dance, and the overall total, ultimately winning their fifth World Championship title. Cizeron described the experience as "one of the most beautiful competitions of our career."[72] Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue of the United States, in what ended up being the last competition of their career, finish second, while Madison Chock and Evan Bates, also of the United States, finished third. "I feel incredibly emotional,” Chock stated afterward. “It was a dream... to be back on the podium after what feels like a very, very long time."[72]

Controversy

On March 23, Simon Reed, who was providing commentary for the 2022 World Championships, was caught on a hot mic referring to Meagan Duhamel, two-time World Champion in pair skating, as "that bitch from Canada," while his co-host Nicky Slater could be heard laughing in the background. Duhamel had criticized the pair's commentary the day before on social media.[75] As a result, the International Skating Union (ISU) removed both Reed and Slater as commentators for the remainder of the competition, as well as any future ISU events.
