Difficult images during the free program in pairs during the world figure skating championships in Montpellier, Thursday March 24. The American couple Cain-Gribble/Leduc saw their skater fall three times during the program before failing to get up. She eventually had to be evacuated on a stretcher. Second before this chaotic free program, the Americans were aiming for their first medal in the world championship.
It was ultimately their compatriots Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier who won the gold in the absence of the Chinese Olympic champion pair and the Russians, excluded due to the invasion of Ukraine.
The Japanese couple Riku Miura/Ryuichi Kiahra took second place ahead of the Canadians Vanessa James and Eric Radford, authors of a good comeback in the free program. The French Camille and Pavel Kovalev are ranked eighth.
