BOSTON (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – A second career rainbow medal comes for Sara Conti and Niccolo Macii. The Fiamme Oro’s artistic pair put bronze around their necks on the second day of the World Figure Skating Championships underway at Boston’s TD Garden.
The blue pair, which occupied the second position after Thursday’s short program, followed up on the expectations generated by taking the third step of the podium with an overall score of 210.47, only 58 hundredths away from the personal best.
The competition was won by Japan’s Riku Miura/Ryuichi Kiyhara (219.79), who preceded Germany’s Minerva Fabienne Hase/Nikita Volodin (219.47). The other tricolor artistic pair, that of Rebecca Ghilardi and Filippo Ambrosini (Fiamme Azzurre), finished 13th (174.08).
The bronze in Boston adds to the bronze won by Conti and Macii in Saitama in 2023. The two rainbow podiums achieved by the Italian pair are, moreover, the only ones achieved by Italy in the entire history of the World Figure Skating Championships in the artistic pairs.
As for the short program in the men’s sector, Nikolaj Memola (Fiamme Oro) was the author of a solid performance, earning him seventh place, complete with a season record (87.89). Daniel Grassl (Fiamme Oro), on the other hand, complicit in a fall on the quadruple lutz attempt, placed 14th with 80.47.
