The International Skating Union has awarded the 2025 world figure skating championships to Boston, giving the U.S. the opportunity to host the last worlds before the Winter Olympics the following year in Milan. It will be the second time Boston plays host to worlds after welcoming sellout crowds to TD Garden in 2016. The number of Olympic entries each nation receives in each discipline is determined by the preceding world championships, placing added importance on the event in Boston. Worlds also serves as an early test for Olympic hopefuls; Nathan Chen of the U.S. and Anna Shcherbakova of Russia won championships before triumphing at the Beijing Olympics.
