The 2021 World Figure Skating Championships are here!
On Wednesday, the annual figure skating competition — which has the best figure skaters from across the world gathering to compete for the first time since 2019 — began.
This year's competition comes after the 2020 championships, which were originally scheduled to take place in Montreal, Canada, were canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Figure skaters will compete for the title of world champion in four different categories — men's singles, ladies' singles, pairs and ice dance — through the end of the month.
Here's everything skating fans need to know about watching the championships from home.
