The World Figure Skating Championship’s over

The World Figure Skating Championship came to an end on 29 March in Shanghai. European figure skating champion Javier Fernandez won his first World Singles Gold to become the first Spanish man to win the world singles championship. On the other hand Russian teenager Elizaveta Tuktamysheva won the women's gold in Shanghai.

Fernandez, who has twice won the bronze medal at the World Figure Skating Championships, overcame last year's winner Yuzuru Hanyu in dramatic style to claim the biggest title of his career.

The 23-year-old scored 181.16 in the final free skate -- more than six points above the Olympic champion -- allowing him to go top of the overall standings and take the worlds crown.
