The national figure skating team, Donovan Carrillo Suazo, surpassed his best mark by achieving a score of 80.19 units in the short program competitions during the Montreal 2024 World Championships in Canada. With this result, he finished in 15th place and secured his place in the final round of the competition.

“I've been chasing 80 points for so long, it felt amazing when this number appeared, even with a mistake in the combo. “That shows me that I can achieve even more,” the Mexican declared to the media, at the end of his competition.
