The British Figure Skating Federation announced its disagreement with the refereeing of the World Cup

The British Figure Skating Federation has announced its intention to challenge the refereeing of the 2026 World Championships in the Czech Republic. This is evidenced by the official statement published on the federation's website on March 29.

"We are officially challenging this decision and will express our concerns to the International Skating Union. We also call for a full and independent review of the judging process to ensure accountability and fairness for all athletes," the publication says.

The organization disagreed with the decision of the arbitrators, who deducted points from British figure skater Laila Fear and her ice dancing partner Lewis Gibson. As a result of the revision of the scores, the duo dropped to fourth place in the final protocol, losing the bronze medals to American athletes Emily Zingas and Vadim Kolesnik.
