In a tournament, usually, athletes are the ones getting all the attention. But in World Figure Skating Champion commentators have gathered quite a limelight for themselves. However, it’s not in a good way. The British figure skating commentators Simon Reed and Nicky Slater have been caught up in a controversy in the world championship.

Although a lot of figure skaters including Nathan Chen and the Japanese legend Yuzuru Hanyu have missed the championship. However, even in their absence the world championship is as vibrant as ever. All the figure skaters in the tournament have so far put on a great show. And it’ll only get better by the time championship reaches its end.
