The 2022 World Figure Skating Championships were held from March 21–27, 2022, at the Sud de France Arena in Montpellier, France.[1] Sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), the World Championships are considered the most prestigious event in figure skating,[2] second only to the Olympics. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. The competition determined the entry quotas for each skating federation at the 2023 World Championships.
Shoma Uno and Kaori Sakamoto, both of Japan, won the men's and women's events, respectively. Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier of the United States won the pairs event, and Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France won the ice dance event.
Background
The 2022 World Championships were notable for a slew of absences following the 2022 Winter Olympics. Both Nathan Chen of the United States and Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan bowed out, citing injuries.[3] On March 1, 2022, the International Skating Union (ISU) banned skaters and officials from Russia and Belarus from participating at all international competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4] Additionally, the Chinese Skating Association opted not to send any skaters to the competition.[5]
Nations began announcing their selections for the World Championships in December 2021. The The ISU published a complete list of entries on March 2, 2022.[6]
Qualification
Age and minimum TES requirements
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 technical minimum 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, which was an adjustment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

In 2016, an independent report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirmed allegations that the Russian Olympic team had been involved in a state-sponsored doping program, active from at least late 2011 through August 2015.[8] On December 9, 2019, the WADA banned Russia from all international competitions after it found that data provided by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency had been manipulated by Russian authorities in order to protect athletes involved in its state-sponsored doping scheme.[9] Under the ban imposed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Russian athletes could not use the Russian name, flag, or anthem in international competition and had to present themselves as "Neutral Athletes" or a "Neutral Team" at any world championships until December 16, 2022.[10] Russian skaters would have competed under a modified flag of the Figure Skating Federation of Russia and the name "FSR" at the 2022 World Championships; however, the ISU banned all Russian and Belarusian skaters from participating in any international skating events due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4]

Results
Men's singles
Donovan Carrillo of Mexico had to withdraw prior to the short program when the luggage with his skates did not arrive in time for the competition.[34] Cha Jun-hwan of South Korea withdrew from the free skate due to problems with his boots.[35]
During the short program, one judge received backlash from fans and the media for noting that Ivan Shmuratko of Ukraine had committed a "costume/prop violation" for wearing the Ukrainian national team's training outfit rather than his traditional skating costume.[36] Shmuratko did not receive a deduction due to a majority of the judges' votes being required, while the crowd gave him a standing ovation for his performance.[37]
Shoma Uno of Japan won the gold medal after a free skate that featured a quadruple loop, quadruple Salchow, quadruple flip, and a quadruple toe loop in combination, and his free skate score of 202.85 was a career-best for him. Yuma Kagiyama of Japan won the silver medal, while Vincent Zhou of the United States rallied back from a sixth-place finish in the short program to win the bronze medal.[38]

"I had a lot of pain," Hendrickx stated after the competition, "but I wanted to show one last time that I can do it to finish my season strong."

Pairs
Sofiia Holichenko and Artem Darenskyi of Ukraine chose to withdraw from the free skate due to a lack of training time following the Winter Olympics as well as the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[43]
Ashley Cain-Gribble and Timothy LeDuc of the United States, who were in second place after the short program, were forced to withdraw after Cain-Gribble fell during the free skate and knocked her head against the ice, requiring her to be removed from the ice on a stretcher and hospitalized.[44]
Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier of the United States won gold medals; it was the first time that an American pairs team had won the World Championship title since Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner in 1979. Knierim and Frazier were only the third American pairs team to ever win gold at the World Championships. Their free skate featured a "flawless" side-by-side triple Salchow. "I had so many emotions," Knierim stated afterward. "It was so much gratitude, fulfillment, excitement, and disbelief."[45]

Ice dance
One day prior to the rhythm dance, the ISU rejected the proposed program by Ukrainian ice dancers Oleksandra Nazarova and Maksym Nikitin. Their program was set to music by Ukrainian artists – "1944" by Jamala and the Ukrainian folk song "Oi u luzi chervona kalyna" performed by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of BoomBox – and included a fifteen-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".[47] Following intervention by their federation, Nazarova and Nikitin were allowed to compete using a version featuring only the music, and like Ivan Shmuratko, they also wore the colors of the Ukrainian national team rather than their traditional costumes and received a standing ovation.[47][48] Despite limited training time leading up to the event, they said that they wanted to perform their new program to "express what they are living through."[49] After the rhythm dance, Mikhail Makarov, president of the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation, issued an appeal to Jan Dijkema, president of the ISU, and Sergey Bubka, president of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, seeking to understand the rationale behind the ISU's decision.[47] Nazarova and Nikitin later withdrew from the free dance, feeling that performing their upbeat program set to music from Moulin Rouge! was inappropriate in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[50]
Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France, who were favored to win the ice dance event, broke their own world record score in the rhythm dance, which they had previously set at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[40] Ultimately setting new world records in both the free dance and overall total, Papdakis and Cizeron won their fifth World Championship title. Cizeron described the experience as "one of the most beautiful competitions of our career." Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue of the United States, in what ended up being the last competition of their career, finish second, while Madison Chock and Evan Bates, also of the United States, finished third.[51]

Controversy
On March 23, Simon Reed, who was providing commentary for the 2022 World Championships, was caught on a hot mic referring to Meagan Duhamel, two-time World Champion in pair skating, as "that bitch from Canada," while his co-host Nicky Slater could be heard laughing in the background. Duhamel had criticized the pair's commentary the day before on social media.[53] As a result, the ISU removed both Reed and Slater as commentators for the remainder of the competition, as well as any future ISU events. "There is no place for harassing and abusive language or remarks and behavior in sport and our society," the ISU said in a statement.[54]
