Levito, 17, who lives in Mount Holly and trains in Mount Laurel, is a top contender after falling to bronze at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. The International Skating Union ranks her third.
Isabeau Levito was America’s next great hope at the 2023 World Figure Skating Championships. She landed in fourth place, just off the podium, but a great placement for her first World Championships.But the 17-year-old Levito, who lives in Mount Holly and trains in Mount Laurel, remains a top contender.
Earlier in her season, Levito had a number of wins. She won at the Nebelhorn Trophy in Germany in October. Then she was assigned to two grand prix events: Skate America, where she took the silver medal behind Hendrickx, and the Grand Prix of France, which she won. Sakamoto, a steady, powerful skater, is most likely to three-repeat as champion. Hendrickx, a showy skater, has a good chance of moving up to the silver medal position, although her position is not quite as much of a sure thing.There are also a number of other skaters who could contend for medals. From Japan, Hana Yoshida won the ISU’s best newcomer award this year and earned the bronze at the Grand Prix Final; and Mone Chiba, who won the Four Continents championship in January.
