canadian Diana Stellato-Dudek playing in tandem with Maxime Deschamps became the oldest world figure skating champion, according to the ISU (International Skating Union) website.
On Thursday, the Canadian duo Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps won the World Pairs Figure Skating Championships in Montreal, scoring a total of 221.56 points for two programs.
Stellato-Dudek, 40, won the world championship for the first time in his career. She became the oldest figure skater in any discipline to win the world championship.
— Before skating, I felt bad and uncomfortable. I didn’t know how I was going to survive this. Our warm-up was terrible. I want to thank my coaches and my partner, they said that if I wanted to succeed, I would give everything.
I didn’t plan to achieve such a record when I returned to figure skating, but I knew I could achieve my dream because I am the oldest figure skater in the entire world. I’m very proud of that. I hope that my case will inspire many people not to stop not only in sports, but also in other areas of life,” the ISU website quotes the words of the Canadian figure skater.
