Montpellier was announced as the host in June 2019.[2] It is the first time that Montpellier has ever hosted the World Championships, and the first time that France has hosted since 2012.

Background edit

The tournament was notable for several high-profile absences. On March 1, 2022, the ISU banned figure skaters and officials from Russia and Belarus from attending all international competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. World champions in three of the four disciplines (as well as several other medalists) were barred from competing as a result.[3] The Chinese Skating Association opted not to send any skaters to the competition.[4]

Controversy edit

During the men's short program on March 24, one judge received backlash from fans and the media for voting that Ukrainian skater Ivan Shmuratko had committed a "costume/prop violation" for wearing the Ukrainian national team's training clothes rather than his costume.[5] Shmuratko did not receive a deduction due to a majority of judges' votes being required, and the crowd gave him a standing ovation for his performance.[6]

On the same day, one day prior to the rhythm dance, the ISU rejected Ukrainian ice dancers Oleksandra Nazarova and Maksym Nikitin's proposed program set to music by Ukrainian artists that included a 15-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".[7] Following intervention by their federation, Nazarova and Nikitin were allowed to compete using a version featuring only music, and like teammate Shmuratko, they also wore the colors of the Ukrainian national team rather than their costumes and received a standing ovation.[7][8] Despite limited training time leading up to the event, they said that they wanted to perform the new program set to "1944" by Jamala and the Ukrainian folk song "Oi u luzi chervona kalyna" performed by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of BoomBox to "express what they are living through."[9] After the rhythm dance, Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation president Mikhail Makarov issued an appeal to ISU president Jan Dijkema and National Olympic Committee of Ukraine president Sergey Bubka asking for help in understanding the rationale behind the ISU's decision.[7] Nazarova and Nikitin later withdrew from the free dance, feeling that performing their upbeat Moulin Rouge! program was inappropriate in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.[10]

Qualification edit

Age and minimum TES requirements edit

Skaters were eligible for the 2022 World Championships if they turned 15 years of age before July 1, 2021, and if they met the minimum technical elements score requirements. The ISU accepted scores if they were obtained at senior-level ISU-recognized international competitions during the ongoing season at least 21 days before the first official practice day of the championships or during the two preceding seasons (adjusted from the traditional one due to the pandemic).[1]

Minimum technical scores
Discipline SP / RD FS / FD
Men 34 64
Women 30 51
Pairs 27 44
Ice dance 33 47
  • SP/RD and FS/FD scores may be attained at different events.

Number of entries per discipline edit

Based on the results of the 2021 World Championships, each ISU member nation could field one to three entries per discipline.[11]

Under the Court of Arbitration for Sport ban, Russia could not use its name, flag, or anthem and had to present themselves as a "Neutral Athlete" or "Neutral Team" at any world championships until December 16, 2022.[12] Thus, Russian skaters would have competed under a modified flag of the Figure Skating Federation of Russia (FFKKR) and the name "FSR" at the 2022 World Championships before the ISU banned participation by Russian and Belarusian skaters due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3]

Pairs edit

Americans Ashley Cain-Gribble and Timothy LeDuc, who were in second place after the short program, withdrew after a fall by Cain-Gribble during their free skate which required her to be stretchered from the ice and hospitalized.[41]

Sofiia Holichenko and Artem Darenskyi of Ukraine made the decision to withdraw from the free skate due to a lack of training time following the Olympics and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[42]

Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier of the United States won the country's first pairs medal since Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman earned the bronze medal in 2002; it was also the first World title for the country since Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner in 1979.[41] Japan's Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara earned the highest-ever placement for a Japanese pair with their silver medal finish.[43]
