Figure Skating ISU World Championships 2025 Road to Milano Cortina 2026


Recommended Posts

Looking at the team event situation a bit:

:CAN :ITA :USA are the only countries that have qualified skaters in all four events. Importantly, :ITA is not needing any of it's host nation quotas.

 

Six countries are missing an entry for the team event: :FRA (Pairs), :GEO (Women's), :JPN  (Ice dance),:GBR (Men's), :POL (Ice dance), :KOR (Pairs).

 

So currently we only have nine countries that are even eligible for the team event. Presumably :GER will eventually also be eligible.

 

There are only five additional athlete quotas available for the team event and the host nation (down from ten previously), so it is very likely that we will have some incomplete teams in the team event.

 

All ten countries mentioned above have a skater or pair that could compete in every event, except :KOR which currently has no elite pairs at all.

 

Best case realistic scenario for us to have a fully competitive team event, IMO, is for :GER to qualify either a man or a woman, :GEO to qualify a woman, :FRA  to qualify in pairs, :JPN to qualify in ice dance and then either :GBR qualify in men's or :GER qualifies in both men's and women's. That way there would be enough additional quotas for us to have ten full teams (assuming :KOR can pull a competent pair out of somewhere)

 

Edit: I presume :FIN is also in with an outside shot at making the team event if they manage to qualify a pair.

This will be complicated even more by the fact that Russia and possibly Belarus will take quotas from teams that could use them for the team event.

And ofc even if :ROC qualifies in every event they can’t enter the team event anyway.
