What a disgusting result, obviously the judges are trying to push Gracie Gold. If we look at the results of this season so far, the only acceptable result would be a gold for one of the russian girls, although i would love to see Mao Asada winning the gold.

Day 3 at World champs started with the short program of the mixed pairs event. The Chinese Wenjing Sui/Cong Han are on the top of the current standing with 80.85 pts in front of Meaghan Duhamel/Eric Radford of Canada 78.18 (2nd) and russians Tatiana Volosozhar/Maxim Trankov 77.13 (3rd). Top 16 pairs advance to the free program. here the results http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1516/wc2016/SEG005.HTM

 

But the most epic moment of the champs came later, with the mens free program competition and an stunning comeback, from Javier Fernandez. The spaniard delivered one of the greatest long programs in the history of the world figure skating championships, storming back from more than 12 points adrift of Japanese star Yuzuru Hanyu with a flawless skate to defend his title.
