  • Retired Olympic champions Madison Hubbell and Gabriella Papadakis plan to skate together at events in a bid to help pave the way for same-sex pairs to compete officially.

The article from Reuters discusses how Olympic ice dance champions Gabriella Papadakis and Madison Hubbell are advocating for the inclusion of same-sex pairs in figure skating competitions. They skated together in a performance at the European Figure Skating Championships in Lithuania, aiming to promote the idea of same-sex pairs competing in future events. This initiative is part of a broader movement within the sport to evolve and become more inclusive, with the International Skating Union (ISU) set to vote on allowing same-sex pairs in competitions starting in 2025. The performance was not just a display of skill but also a statement on the potential for change in the traditionally conservative sport of figure skating.
