Ice skating world championships, the blue duo Guignard-Fabbri wins silver in rhythmic dance


Charlène Guignard and Marco Fabbri, already runners-up yesterday in rhythmic dance, completed the work in the free exhibition, showing off a performance that allowed them to win the silver medal at the Figure Skating World Championships in Saitama (Japan) . The blue couple was preceded only by the Americans Madison Chock-Evan Bates. Third place for Canadians Piper Gilles-Paul Poirer, favorites on the eve. For Guignard-Fabbri - fourth at the Montpellier 2022 World Championships - it is the first world championship medal of his career, the fifth ever for Italian dance.

The Italian couple is coached by the former blue Barbara Fusar-Poli. The two athletes of the Fiamme Azzurre performed on the notes of a medley of music, from "My Love Will Never Die" to "Eden" by Belinda passing through 'Mephisto's Lullaby' by Yair Albeg. Charlene Guignard with 33 years and 224 days and Marco Fabbri with 35 years and 53 days (from Milan), have established a singular record: they are the "oldest" Italian skaters to have won a world medal. This season, the Italian couple won the Lombardia Trophy in their debut round, the Grand Prix of Angers and Sheffield (third place in the final in Turin), the Italian title in December and European gold in January in Espoo, Finland.
