MONTREAL — The world’s best figure skaters descend on Montreal this week for the 2024 International Skating Union world championships.
Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps represent Canada’s best shot at a medal this week. The 40-year-old Stellato-Dudek and 32-year-old Deschamps are two-time reigning Canadian champions in pairs. They’ve also won three Grand Prix gold medals over the last two seasons and claimed first at the Four Continents Championships last month in Shanghai.
The three-time national champions — including this January in Calgary — are coming off a gold medal of their own at the Four Continents and currently rank fourth in ISU ice dancing. Italy’s Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri are ranked first, while last year’s champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates of the U.S. — who train in Montreal — are third.
National champions in 2023, Sorensen and Fournier Beaudry returned to competition for the Four Continents and won a silver medal. They rank fifth in the ISU standings.Canada hasn’t won a worlds medal in singles since Kaetlyn Osmond captured gold in Milan in 2018 — and that isn’t likely to change this year.
