The 2023 World Figure Skating Championships are still a year away, but many fans and experts are already speculating about who will come out on top. One skater who will undoubtedly be among the top contenders is Nathan Chen, the American skater who won the men’s singles title at the 2022 World Championships.
Chen is widely regarded as one of the best skaters in the world, and his technical proficiency and artistry on the ice have earned him a legion of fans. He has won numerous competitions in recent years, including the Grand Prix Final and the Four Continents Championships, and is known for his ability to land difficult jumps with ease.
However, defending his title at the 2023 World Championships will not be an easy task. There are several skaters who are expected to challenge Chen for the top spot, including Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan and Shoma Uno, also of Japan. Hanyu is a two-time Olympic champion and has won the World Championships twice, while Uno is a former Olympic silver medalist and has finished on the podium at the World Championships in the past.
Another skater who could pose a threat to Chen is Yuma Kagiyama of Japan. Kagiyama won the silver medal at the 2022 World Championships, and has been making waves in the skating world with his technical prowess and artistry on the ice.
Of course, there are always surprises in figure skating, and any skater can have a good day or a bad day on the ice. But Chen will undoubtedly be a strong contender at the 2023 World Championships, and fans around the world will be watching closely to see if he can defend his title against some of the best skaters in the world.
