 Last year's world bronze medallists and home favourites Haydenettes rose from fifth place to fourth overall with 194.43 points after registering the third-best free skating score of 130.53. Finland's Team RCKT, the 2016 world silver medallists, dropped from third place to fifth overall with 193.87 points after a three-points deduction for falls in the intersection and another deduction for a costume failure. Russia's Tatarstan placed sixth with 187.33 points. A total of 24 teams representing 19 ISU members competed in the Championships. The non-Olympic discipline first started up in the 1950s and was originally called precision skating. It is considered to be a highly technical form of the sport with 16 skaters performing on the ice in a routine. |
