The World Figure Skating Championships are taking place in Shanghai, China. Let's look at the most charming and charming participants.

(Total 10 photos)

1. In 10th place - Gracie Gold (USA).

Radiant Gracie is one of the main competitors of Russian singles girls. The surname obliges the American to beat the Russians, but in fact, so far it has only been possible to win the bronze medal of the Games in Sochi in team competitions. In the individual tournament, Gold made several serious mistakes in the free program and eventually took only fourth place. However, the cheerful girl does not know how to get upset for a long time, and therefore she seriously expects to take revenge on her competitors at the World Cup.

2. On the 9th - Elena Gedevanishvili (Georgia).

There was a place on our list for an oriental beauty. Georgian figure skater Elene Gedevanishvili is one of the most experienced participants in the World Championships in Shanghai. For Elene, this tournament will be the ninth in her career, and this despite the fact that she missed the world championship last season. The highest achievement in the career of a Georgian athlete is the third place at the European Championships in 2010 and 2012. But now the beautiful Georgian girl is not among the favorites, although the whole country is worried about her.

3. 8th place - Anna Cappellini (Italy).

Pretty Anna is one of the most titled athletes on our list. Last year she, along with partner Luca Lanotte, won ice dancing competitions at both the World Championships and the European stage. Two months ago, the couple lost the European title and now, of course, are determined to defend the world leadership. Anna and her partner will have to work hard - their dazzling smile alone will not be enough to make the judges give high marks.

4. In 7th place - Ashley Wagner (USA).

Ashley is an American, but in the column “place of birth” in the documents, the figure skater has Germany. The fact is that Wagner is the daughter of a lieutenant colonel in the US Army, and this made her path to sports peaks extremely thorny. The father changed jobs, and the daughter constantly moved with him, changing coaches and environment. Nevertheless, Ashley Wagner managed to reach serious heights: at the Sochi Olympics, she took third place in team competitions and seventh in individual competitions.

5. 6th place - Vera Bazarova (Russia).

The magnificent Vera is well known to all fans of Russian figure skating. She has been in the main team of the national team since 2009, during which time she performed with Yuri Larionov at two Olympics and five world championships. However, the couple did not achieve serious success in the international arena. After the Games in Sochi, the figure skater decided that it was time for a change and began skating with Andrey Deputat. The World Championship in Shanghai is a great chance to catch the same luck by the tail.

6. In 5th place - Alexandra Golovkina (Lithuania).

The World Cup is a wonderful opportunity to “look at people, show yourself”. And the blond Lithuanian beauty Alexandra Golovkina passionately wants to take advantage of her first such chance. There are no serious victories in her biography, and at the recent European Championships, the girl took only 19th place. But many fans of figure skating still remember it - they will no doubt be waiting for her appearance in Shanghai.

7. In 4th place - Sarah Hurtado (Spain).

Hot Spanish dances did not go well with the ice until the appearance of the beautiful Sara Hurtado, who, together with partner Adria Diaz, made her homeland a full member of the International Skating Union. Since her entry into the world arena, the permanent champion of Spain has managed to grow up to her debut at the Olympics in Sochi. And more recently, Sarah and Adria achieved the best result in their careers - they became fifth at the European Championships in Stockholm.

8. 3rd place - Alisa Agafonova (Turkey).

The figure skater representing Turkey in ice dancing is remarkable not only for her beauty, but also for her life story. The fact is that Alice played for Ukraine for a long time, but after the breakup of the couple, she went to seek her fortune in the United States, where she found a new partner - the Turk Alper Uchar. Together with him, Alisa managed to win the silver medal of the Universiade and perform at the Games in Sochi. So Turkish fans are attracted not only by Alisa's beauty, but also by her sportsmanship.

9. 2nd place - Kira Korpi (Finland).

Quite close to the title of the most beautiful athlete of the world championship crept Finnish figure skater Kira Korpi. She was born in the family of the most famous hockey coach in Finland, and from childhood she was predicted a great future in hockey. But, fortunately for fans of figure skating, having started skating at the age of five, Kira did not pick up a stick. And she did the right thing! It would be a real crime to hide your beauty and grace under a baggy hockey uniform and an oversized helmet.

10. 1st place - Elena Ilyinykh (Russia).

Of course, there is no arguing about tastes, and everyone likes different girls. But the winner of the beauty contest at the MSN World Championship is the charming Russian woman Elena Ilyinykh. In addition to the fact that 20-year-old Lena is the most beautiful athlete in Shanghai, she is also the most titled - the owner of the gold and bronze medals of the Sochi Olympics. At the same time, at the end of last season, Ilinykh changed her partner: Ruslan Zhiganshin is now paired with the first beauty of the world of figure skating.
