ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2026

I thought Jason Brown was replacing Maxim Naumov. Jacob sanchez seems to have replaced him and is so far in 10th. Nice to see Ilia back in first. Torgashev is now in 7th which is good for him.

Jason Brown was originally named to the world's team. He then withdrew from worlds.

The competition featured Kaori Sakamoto's final skate and fourth world championship victory. It was a great way to end her competitive career.

I think the ice dance replay is worth watching. Laurence Fournier Beaudry & Guillaume Cizeron (FRA) won ice dance and performed way better than at the Olympics. Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier (CAN) won the silver and were great as well.

A lowlight was active duty soldier Spencer Akira Howe (USA) competing in pairs.

Why is this a lowlight?

Why would you add a snide, irrelevant, political footnote to what was until that point an interesting summary of the competition?

I know, I’m so f*cking tired of it too. Absolutely zero need for that comment. I thought you guys were banning people for that?
