BOSTON — We’ve reached the final day of the 2025 world figure skating championships in Boston − and the day that Ilia Malinin will hope to defend his title and cement his place as the man to beat at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics.
Malinin, 20, will be the last person to take the ice at TD Garden tonight for his free skate and entered the day with a lead of roughly three points over Yuma Kagiyama of Japan. The only skater in history to land a quadruple axel in competition, Malinin has not lost a competition in nearly 18 months and will be going for his second consecutive world title.
And he’s not alone there. Madison Chock and Evan Bates are also looking to defend their title as world champions in ice dance, which will get things started this afternoon.
If the Americans sweep today’s events, it will be the first time the U.S. has won world titles in three figure skating disciplines at the same world championships.
