SAITAMA, Japan - Unstoppable French ice dance duo of Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron took their fourth world championship crown and set a new world record with a sensual routine that won a standing ovation from the packed crowd on Saturday.
With a new scoring system in place this season, Papadakis and Cizeron seemed to mirror each other through a series of spins and gravity-defying lifts and finished with 134.23 in the free dance and 222.65 altogether. Cizeron added: “It was such a tough competition, all competitors have worked very hard and it is such a high level in ice dance this year.In second were Russians Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov, who embraced each other without moving on the ice after finishing a flowing routine that built on their second-place finish in the short dance for a season’s best 127.82 in the free and 211.76 overall.
Third place was taken by the American pair of Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue, who took top spot at the nationals and the 2018 Grand Prix Final in the absence of Papadakis and Cizeron, who did not take part due to injury.
