Worlds Has Begun!

The 2015 World Figure Skating Championships kicked off in Shanghai today (well, yesterday, sort of, given the time difference). The American dance team of Madison Chock and Evan Bates is leading after the short dance.

US Figure Skating's Facebook page has a steady stream of photos from the event that are fun to keep up with.

There was also some fun skating in the opening ceremonies, which featured Meryl Davis and Charlie White, as well as Evgeny Plushenko (he's still going at it!), Chen Lu and Olympic pairs champs Shen and Zhao.

You can watch a condensed broadcast on NBC on Saturday, March 28 from 8-10 pm, or keep up with it live on icenetwork.com.
