40歲的加拿大花樣滑冰女選手成為年齡最大的世界花樣滑冰冠軍

Deanna Stellato-Dudek made figure skating history Thursday night, becoming the oldest female figure skater to win a World Figure Skating Championship title at age 40.
周四晚上，40歲的迪安娜·斯特拉托-杜德克創(chuàng)造了花樣滑冰的歷史，成為獲得世界花樣滑冰錦標賽冠軍的年齡最大的女花樣滑冰運動員。

Stellato-Dudek and her partner, Maxime Deschamps, of Canada edged out the 2023 world champions Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara of Japan for the 2024 title.
斯特拉托-杜德克和她的搭檔、來自加拿大的馬克西姆·德尚擊敗了2023年的世界冠軍三浦留和木原龍一，獲得了2024年的冠軍。

Stellato-Dudek was born in Illinois and represented the U.S., first as a singles skater, winning the U.S. novice title back in 1999, the same year Michelle Kwan won the senior title. After retiring at age 17, Stellato-Dudek returned as a pairs skater for the U.S. and eventually paired up with Deschamp, 32, in 2019.
斯特拉托-杜德克出生在伊利諾斯州，曾代表美國參加單人滑比賽，并于1999年贏得美國新手冠軍，同年關穎珊獲得了成年選手冠軍。在17歲退役后，斯特拉托-杜德克以雙人滑運動員的身份回歸美國，并最終在2019年與32歲的德尚搭檔。

The Canadians had a commanding lead after the short program with a score of 77.48, nearly four points ahead of the Japanese skaters.
加拿大選手在短節(jié)目結束后以77.48分的成績遙遙領先，領先日本選手近4分。

Miura and Kihara actually won the free skate portion on Thursday night, but couldn't overtake Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps' lead.
三浦和木原實際上贏得了周四晚上的自由滑比賽，但未能超過斯特拉托-杜德克和德尚的領先地位。

Ironically, both teams had minor issues with singles skating elements, with Stellato-Dudek flipping out of her triple toe loop-single Axel-double Axel jump series and Miura doubling her triple Salchow jump as well.
具有諷刺意味的是，兩支隊伍在單人滑的元素上都有一些小問題，斯特拉托-杜德克在她的三趾環(huán)-單軸-雙軸跳系列中翻轉了，三浦在三軸跳中也翻了一遍。

But the Canadians undoubtedly had the support of the home crowd, who gave their skaters a standing ovation even before their vampire-themed program finished.
但毫無疑問，加拿大人得到了本國觀眾的支持，甚至在他們的吸血鬼主題節(jié)目結束之前，他們就起立為他們的滑冰選手鼓掌。

Miura and Kihara settled for the silver, with Germans Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin taking the bronze.
三浦和木原最終獲得銀牌，德國選手米勒娃·法比安·哈澤和尼基塔·沃洛金獲得銅牌。

Stellato-Dudek was overcome with emotion when the results were announced.
當結果公布時，斯特拉托-杜德克激動不已。

She thanked the crowd in French and then added in English, "I am even more happy, it's a dream come true."
她用法語感謝了人群，然后用英語補充道:“我更高興了，夢想成真了。”
