The 2025 World Figure Skating Championships were held from March 26 to 30, 2025, at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States. Sanctioned by the International Skating Union, the World Figure Skating Championships are considered the most prestigious event in figure skating. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. The competition determined the entry quotas for each skating federation to the 2026 Winter Olympics. Ilia Malinin of the United States won the men's event for the second time, while Alysa Liu (pictured), also of the United States, won the women's event while accomplishing a personal-best score in the short program and free skating routines.
