SAITAMA, Japan : Shoma Uno retained his men's figure skating world title with a stellar free skate on home ice on Saturday after Madison Chock and Evan Bates overcame a fall in their free dance to win their first ice dance world title.
Uno, who led rising American star Ilia Malinin after Thursday's short programme, fell backwards and lay on the ice as he soaked up a standing ovation from the delighted home crowd at the Saitama Super Arena. Malinin, 18, landed a quadruple axel but errors on his five other attempted quads meant he finished third with 288.44 points.
The American pair finished more than three points ahead of Italy's Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri after Friday's rhythm dance and hung on to their lead to win gold despite Chock tumbling midway through their programme.
