World Figure Skating Championships 2024: How to watch on BBC

Ice dancers Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson are seeking to win a first British medal at the World Figure Skating Championships since Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean 40 years ago.

You can watch coverage of the championships in Montreal, Canada live from 21:45 GMT on Thursday, 21 March on the BBC Sport app and website, BBC iPlayer and via the Red Button.

Britain’s Fear and Gibson, who finished fourth at last year’s worlds, are ranked second in the world standings and took silver at the European Championships earlier this year.

Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates are the defending champions and favourites, while European champions Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri of Italy are strong contenders and will be aiming to improve on last year’s world silver.

Canadians Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, world bronze medallists in 2023 and 2021, will also be hoping for another podium on home ice.

Torvill and Dean were the last Britons to win a world figure skating medal when they took ice dance gold in 1984 – the same year they won gold at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.
