    First hosted 125 years ago, the World Figure Skating Championships are among ice skating’s most prestigious events.

    This year nearly 200 competitors from across the globe have competed in Stockholm, Sweden, for the opportunity to call themselves the world champion in their discipline.

    There are four competitive events in the tournament – the men's, ladies' and pairs free skate and ice dance free dance - the event made famous in Britain by Torvill and Dean’s Olympic gold medal-winning routine.

    The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic but two reigning champions from 2019 returned to defend their titles – the men’s champion Nathan Chen from the United States, and China’s Wenjing Sui and Cong Han, who won the pairs event.

  4. How to get into ice skating

    Ice skating is for anybody and easy to learn, whether you just want a bit of fun with friends or are serious about joining a team.

    There's figure skating and speed skating - sports you may have seen at the Winter Olympics. But skating doesn't have to be competitive. You can put on a pair of skates (which you can hire at rinks) and start gliding across the ice. It's best to make sure you can skate in a straight line before you attempt jumps and turns.

    If you're a beginner you can check out - a 10-stage programme to help get you started.
