*All of the U.S. skaters who were named in January to the U.S. team for the 2026 World Championships still intend to compete as of Saturday, a U.S. Figure Skating spokesperson said.
That world team includes all the members of the Olympic figure skating team except men’s singles skater Maxim Naumov, who is to be replaced by two-time Olympian Jason Brown, and pairs team Emily Chan and Spencer Howe, replaced by Katie McBeath and Daniil Parkman.
The U.S. has an additional pairs spot at worlds. It goes to two-time U.S. champions Alisa Efimova and Misha Mitrafonov, who were ineligible for the Olympics because Efimova is not yet a U.S citizen. Different eligibility rules apply for the World Championships.
