ASSAGO, Italy—Canadian ice dancers Kaitlyn Weaver and Andre Poje of Waterloo, Ont., captured a bronze medal at the world figure skating championships on Saturday, making up for their Olympic disappointment in Pyeongchang. Skating their popular program to “Je Suis Malade,” Weaver and Poje collected their third career world championship medal with a personal best 192.35. For the rest, it was a fallathon: 14 sprawls, splats, and tumbles among five competitors as they attempted the all-mighty quad. There were three falls by silver medallist Shoma Uno of Japan, who matched his Olympic silver, and two by Mikhail Kolyada of Russia, who took bronze. “To go out there and miss a couple of elements I’ve been nailing all week is a little hurtful,” said Messing, who had been sixth after the short program.
