Canada's Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, who beat Chock and Bates at the Four Continents Championships in February, skated a superb free dance to "A Whiter Shade of Pale," scoring 130.10 for a total of 216.54.
They added another world silver to the one they captured on home ice in Montreal last year after winning bronze in 2021 and 2023.
Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson of Britain were third, garnering 123.25 points for their free dance to a medley of Beyonce hits for a total of 207.11.
Chock and Bates, who have skated together since 2011 and were married last year, are the first ice dancers to win three successive world titles since Russia's Oksana Grishuk and Evgeni Platov won four from 1994-97.

Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Trump After Show Hiatus

returned to his show after a long weekend and devoted much of his opening monologue to attacking President Donald Trump for sending troops into Los Angeles to deal with protests in the city. Kimmel showed off footage of an ordinary scene outside his studio, saying it might surprise viewers 'who have been watching cable news and believe this city is some kind of totalitarian hellscape right now.' Disney is even holding a film premiere on the same block for the new movie Elio, which Kimmel noted is about aliens. 'Don't tell Trump,' Kimmel said. 'He'll send the Green Berets in.' He tore into Trump for using masked agents to 'abduct' migrants, most of whom 'have never done anything wrong.' Protesting that, he said, 'is not only our right as Americans, it's our responsibility.' 'Los Angelenos have been gathering to demonstrate ― and, with very few exceptions, peacefully demonstrate ― to voice their opposition to this disgusting and unnecessary abuse of power instigated by our mentally ill president,' he said. Kimmel noted how Trump earlier this year tried to take credit for stopping the wildfires that hit the Los Angeles area. Trump again tried to take credit for that this week and said he saved the city from 'burning' a second time by sending in the National Guard to stop the protests. 'He so desperately wants to be the hero putting out fires,' Kimmel said. 'He's starting fires. Putting out a fire you purposely start doesn't make you a firefighter. It makes you an arsonist with a hose.'
