MONTREAL – Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto and Shoma Uno will each seek their third consecutive world crowns at the 2024 World Figure Skating Championships, which begin on March 20 in Montreal.

Not since American Peggy Fleming won world titles from 1966 through 1968 has anyone captured three women’s world titles in a row, but Sakamoto could achieve the feat and complete an undefeated 2023-2024 campaign.
