This was reported by press service International Skating Union (ISU). The championship will be held in Kaunas, Lithuania, from January 8 to 14.
Davis and Smolkina are silver medalists at the 2022 Russian Ice Dance Championship. Diana Davis is the daughter of Russian coach Eteri Tutberidze. Gleb Smolkin is the son of actor Boris Smolkin.
