World Figure Skating Championships

Having Worlds after the Olympics really makes no sense. How much more of a world championship can there be? But since there is, interesting things can occur.

The Olympic gold medalists in Mens and Pairs are not competing in Turin this week. Evan Lysacek is on Dancing with the Stars and Shen and Zhao are hoping for parenthood.

Canadians Virtue and Moir, Olympic Ice Dancing gold medalists, barely won gold today. Americans Davis and White were only 1.40 points behind them and actually won the free dance part of the competition.

But the biggest shock was watching American Mirai Nagasu take first place after the short program and Korean Kim Yu-Na, Olympic gold medalist, miss two elements to end up in 7th place. It will be a fascinating long program tomorrow.
