Japanese figure skating duo Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara delivered a breath taking performance to break the world record and win the pairs title at the Milan-Cortina competition in Milan.

The pair stunned judges and spectators with their flawless routine, combining technical perfection, artistic excellence, and outstanding synchronization. Their record-breaking score secured them the gold medal and cemented their place among the greatest pairs teams in figure skating history.

The event, held as part of preparations for the upcoming Winter Games, featured the world’s top figure skaters. However, Miura and Kihara stood out with their confident execution of difficult lifts, throws, and spins.

Officials from the International Skating Union confirmed that the duo’s score officially set a new world record in the pairs category. The judges awarded high marks for both technical elements and artistic presentation.

“We are so happy and proud,” Miura said after the performance. “We worked very hard for this moment.” Kihara added that their focus was on delivering their best performance rather than chasing records. “The record is a bonus. Our goal was to skate clean and strong.”

The victory marks another major milestone for the Japanese pair, who have consistently ranked among the world’s best in recent years. Their success also highlights Japan’s growing strength in figure skating on the global stage.”
