- At the world championships in Boston on Friday, American ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates took the lead after the rhythm dance with a season-best score of 90.18.
- Chock and Bates, aiming for their third consecutive world title, built a nearly four-point lead over their closest challengers, Canadians Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, who scored 86.44 points.

- Chock said, "It was probably the most fun I've had thus far on competitive ice in a performance, maybe ever," expressing joy in performing before a home crowd and sharing the excitement with Evan.
- Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson from Britain placed third with 83.86 points, followed by Italians Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri with 83.06, as the competition heads into Saturday night's conclusion.
