Competitors and Athletes in the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships
In all four disciplines, Team USA is anticipated to contend for medals this year, led once again by ice dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates and reigning world champion Ilia Malinin. Amber Glenn, who won all five of her tournaments in 2024–25, including the Grand Prix Final in December, is the team leader for women. New off winning at the most recent U.S. Nationals, Misha Mitrofanov and Alisa Efimov, the newly minted pairs champions, will be looking for a podium spot.
The reigning pairs champions Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps of Canada, three-time women’s world champion Kaori Sakamoto, who is hoping to add a fourth title to her collection, Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier of Canada, who are hoping to prevent a Chock and Bates three-peat, and Yuma Kagiyama and Shun Sato of Japan in the men’s division are also strong contenders. Stellato-Dudek, who is 40 years old, was the oldest female figure skater to win a world title in any of the four disciplines last year.
