The 2022 World Figure Skating Championships is held in Montpellier, France from March 21–27, 2022.[1] Figure skaters compete for the title of world champion in men's singles, women's singles, pairs, and ice dance. The competition is used to determine the entry quotas for each federation at the 2023 World Championships.
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.
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.[3]
Background[]
The annual World Championships in 2022 were held in France in March. 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; therefore excluding defending woman's world champion Anna Shcherbakova and others from participation.[3] The Russian competitors competed simultaneously at the 2022 Channel One Trophy competition in Russia taking place on the same days as the World Championships. Other leading competitors such as Nathan Chen and Yuzuru Hanyu withdrew from the World Championship due to injury.

Kaori Sakamoto of Japan won the country's first medal since 2018 and the first title since Mao Asada in 2014. Silver medalist Loena Hendrickx of Belgium won the country's first ISU Championships medal in women's singles, while bronze medalist Alysa Liu of the United States won the country's first medal since Ashley Wagner in 2016. It was the first podium featuring skaters representing three different countries since 2014.

Pairs[]
Due to the ban against Russian skaters and the Chinese Skating Association's decision not to send any skaters to compete, none of top five pairs from the 2022 Winter Olympics participated at this event. The final number of participants (14 pairs) was the lowest since 1989.
Alexa Knierim / Brandon Frazier of the United States won the country's first pairs medal since Kyoko Ina / John Zimmerman earned bronze in 2002; it was also the first title for the country since Tai Babilonia / Randy Gardner won in 1979.[42] Japan's Riku Miura / Ryuichi Kihara earned the highest-ever placement for a Japanese pair with their silver medal finish.[43]

Notes[]
- ^ a b c d Under the Court of Arbitration for Sport ban, Russia may not use its name, flag, or anthem and must present themselves as "Neutral Athlete" or "Neutral Team" at any world championships until December 16, 2022.[46] 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]
