2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Boston

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Jackie Wong has a different pic - I don't think these are the same areas - the first one is clearly on a short end of the rink with no camera bay nearby. Are they planning on putting the skaters at the top of the leaderboard out in the open arena as the last two groups skate during the FS?

ETA - another post from Jackie describing the arena with pics!

I think the second post by Jackie those photos look amazing. Looks like USFSA finally took note of what other hosts do. I love the kiss and cry, I love the entrance where the skaters will come out. I love the color combo. Does somebody want to sponsor ANL to fly out? If so, I will maybe… I said maybe Leverage one Harem member of my choosing…

I suspect the ISU is more heavily involved in the set design & color scheme, etc, for the ISU Championships & GPF/JGPF than they are for any other events, even the regular GPs.

Having said that, I have spied a white leather sofa in one of Jackie's pictures, so I don't think we're entirely in the clear yet with regard to the USFS' obviously straight, Boomer male manager overseeing all of their set design decisioning.

The boomers I know don’t do white. The kids will ruin anything.

So, you're blaming this on some childless Millennial? Because your reason for Boomers not doing white is also valid for Gen Xers, lol.

My first thought yeah that ISU had more control over this since it’s their event whereas nationals, it’s not

Oh dear, that’s bench/sofa needs to be retired.

And yes, while it appears a straight male has snuck into this somehow I would say it’s a Gen Z because all these white cars out by me are all the Gen Z

I also just saw Lucas Britschgi!

Impossible. He’s under my lock and key.

It's a time-shifting thing, and the same reason I was sure that Evan Bates was in Seattle this morning sailing along on one of those rent-a-scooters. (Dead ringer.)

 

[Karen-W]

Oooooooo boy...

They're really taking things to the next drama level this year... New to the KnC - a "Leader's Chair" for the last two groups of each free skate/dance. Personally, I wish it was a sofa for the top 3, like what we've had in the green room in the past, but I suppose for space considerations, it's not possible.

Not sure how I feel about the "leaders chair" being integrated into the KnC area, but my first impression is not favorable.

The only good thing about that couch is that it looks like it can seat 4. The chairs don’t look comfy at all.

 

[Pechka23]

Is anyone going to the Rhythm Dance? We would like to ask to drop a toy to the trainers of our daughter but do not know how to organize it? Anyone to help/advice? Is there any centrally organized by some fan groups may be?

 

[peibeck]

The "leaders chairs" in the KnC look like huge C-Pap masks.

The Worlds Kiss-n-Cry with the new "leader" C-Pap chairs! :P #WorldFigure

Stand by my statement above.

 

[Iceblink]

Anyone know if there.are outlets/charging stations in the arena anywhere? I forgot my portable battery and wonder if I need to pick one up for the very long days of competition.

Those are... Interesting.

Just arrived to our hotel. I held the door open for Tara & Andrea Joyce as we were coming in/they were going out.

There are outlets every few sections on the concourse.

Ditto, a bit tacky and not necessary

And also, then they have to sit there and watch everybody else after them and can’t go anywhere? I mean I would be on my phone doing some DoorDash type of situation

And all of your photos are freaking fabulous. Thank you.

 

[peibeck]

There's going to be an exhibit of costumes by Matthieu Carron on the concourse. Looks fabulous.

There are a couple of new ones, but most were exhibited in Montreal. Worth a visit though.

If it’s the same one that was at Worlds in Montreal, you are in for a treat.

I wouldn’t know.

 

[Messalina]

Is anyone interested in a free practice pass?

I'm not able to make it to Worlds and have sold most of my tickets. I can't sell the pass, but I can transfer it to someone for free. I didn't realize this until this morning!

DM me if so ...

ETA: CLAIMED

Current Leader also gets their name(s) in light, apparently. #WorldFigure

Current leader area update!

 

[Debbie S]

On the way out earlier, I passed the booth where they were setting up the stuffies for sale. Prices are $18 each, $35 if you buy 2, $50 if you buy 3.

I messaged him and told him to come to the rink early before it disappears but it’s already gone

You surely sent him a pic? If not, feel free to steal that one.

Just an FYI. If you get on the wrong elevator at TD Garden you will be escorted to the correct one. I sort of had a feeling since it was just me and the Japanese Men’s team on there.
