On March 25, Beijing time, the first gold medal of the 2022 Figure Skating World Championships was born, and in the pair skating competition, the American combination of Kenillin / Frazier successfully won the championship. Of course, this figure skating World Championships, the top five of the Winter Olympics are all absent, including the 5 pairs of China and Russia. Therefore, the first championship in 43 years ushered in by the United States is also a "leak" to win the championship.
The big names of this Figure Skating World Championships are collectively absent, especially the pair skating does not have a top combination. Winter Olympic champion Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, Winter Olympic runner-up Tarasova/Morozov, Winter Olympic runner-up Misna/Gallamov, Winter Olympic fourth-place Boykova/Kozlovsky, and Winter Olympics fifth Peng Cheng/Jin Yang did not participate.
As a result, Neerling/Frazier, who is sixth in the Winter Olympics, naturally became the biggest favorite. As a result, the American duo finally won the championship with an absolute advantage of 76.88 points for the short program, 144.21 points for free skating, and a total score of 221.09. This is the first pair skating world championship in the United States since 1979, 43 years, it should be said that it has been a long time, but it is obviously also a championship that has been leaked.
Although the winner's score was not bad, the scores of the other combinations were difficult to say, and all the other players did not score more than 200 points, including the combination of runners-up Ryuichi Kihara and Ritsura Miura, all of which were constantly mistaken and far worse than during the Winter Olympics. However, because of the weak overall competitiveness, the Japanese team even won the silver medal. You should know that in the winter Olympics pair skating field, a total of 7 pairs scored more than 210 points.
All in all, the overall gold content of this figure skating World Championship is regrettable, who would have thought that in the case of the collective farewell of the big names, Neillin/Frazier would already be the world champion that many people dreamed of.
