MOSCOW (AP) — Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron have won their fourth consecutive European figure skating championship, extending the two world records they already held.
The French duo's free dance Saturday to sections from Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" reflected the music's mood changes. They were fluid in the first movement and animated in the stormy third. Papadakis and Cizeron scored a record 121.817 points for the free dance and 203.16 total.
Silver and bronze went to Russian couples Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitri Soloviev and Alexandra Stepanova/Ivan Bukin, respectively, reversing their positions from the results after the short dance.
