The 2025 world figure skating championships get underway today, with the first of four days of competition at TD Garden in Boston. It's the first time the world championships have been in the United States since 2016.

As the last major international competition before the 2026 Winter Olympics, these world championships will not only help determine Olympic quota spots but also set the stage for Milan-Cortina. It's a chance for athletes to see how they stack up, and it will largely determine which skaters will enter the Olympics as the favorites to land on the podium.

Considered the most prestigious annual skating competition, the 2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships will take place over six days from March 25 through March 30 in Boston, Massachusetts, at TD Arena.

Event Details:

  • Date: Saturday, March 29

  • Time: 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

Malinin has won his last eight competitions dating to December 2023. This season, he became the first skater to attempt seven quadruple jumps in one program, doing so at his last two competitions (December’s Grand Prix Final and January’s U.S. Championships, falling on one quad each time).

The married couple won their two biggest events so far this season — a repeat title at December’s Grand Prix Final and a record-tying sixth U.S. ice dance title in January.

They also saw their overall eight-competition win streak end at October’s Skate America (won by Brits Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson) and also took runner-up at their most recent event, February’s Four Continents Championships, to Canadians Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier.

In the women’s event, the U.S. boasts the world’s top skater this season. Amber Glenn has won all five of her events in 2024-25, including December’s Grand Prix Final, the biggest title for a U.S. women’s singles skater in 14 years.

Isabeau Levito and Alysa Liu are also medal contenders. Levito took silver at the 2024 Worlds, then missed most of this season due a stress reaction in her right foot.

Liu, the 2022 World bronze medalist, ended a two-year retirement to compete this season. She finished a mere 1.46 points behind Glenn at nationals.

The U.S. trio will look to dethrone Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto, who bids to become the first women’s singles skater to win four world titles in a row since American Carol Heiss took five from 1956-60.
