2025 World Figure Skating Championships: How to watch, full TV schedule and more
This week, 200 of the best figure skaters in the world will gather in Boston for the 2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships. The event comes just two months after the figure skating community lost 14 members in the deadly plane crash in D.C.. There are plans to honor those lost with a remembrance ceremony on Wednesday night. This is the first worlds held on U.S. soil since 2016, and the World Figure Skating Championships one year prior to the Winter Olympics have more weight, so for Team USA, the pressure is certainly on.
Defending champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates could become the first ice dancers to win their third consecutive world title in 28 years. American Amber Glenn has the world's top skater title this season, and Ilia Malinin has a chance to become the second American men's singles skater to repeat as world champion in the last 40 years.
The competition begins this Wednesday, Mar. 26. All of the 2025 World Figure Skating Championships will stream on Peacock, and some coverage will also air across NBC and USA Network.

The competition will be hosted by the renowned Skating Club of Boston, which was heavily impacted by the tragic D.C. plane crash back in January. The club lost three of its skaters in the deadly crash — Jinna Han, Spencer Lane and Olivia Ter — and two coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who were also world champions in their own right. The loss is likely to be felt throughout the entire competition, by Team USA and beyond.
The ISU 2025 World Figure Skating Championships will hold a remembrance ceremony for the six members of the figure skating community lost in the D.C. plane crash. The ceremony will stream on Peacock on Wednesday, Mar. 26 at 6:15 p.m. ET.
NBC will also re-air Legacy on Ice, a special covering the skating community's memorial gala for the lost skaters, this Sunday. Legacy on Ice featured performances by Malinin, U.S. champion Amber Glenn, 13-year-old Isabella Aparicio (skating in memory of her late brother and father) and Maxim Naumov, the son of Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov.

New Zealand's Ryan Fox wins four-hole playoff vs. American Sam Burns at Canadian Open
CALEDON - New Zealand's Ryan Fox is the new RBC Canadian Open champion. He beat American Sam Burns in a four-hole playoff on Sunday at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. Burns fired an 8-under 62 round, the best of the day, to lay claim to the top of the leaderboard. Fox, however, still had most of the course still to play as Burns was signing his scorecard. He birdied Nos. 14 and 15 to get to within a shot of Burns and then sank a clutch birdie putt on No. 18 for a 4-under 66 day and to force the playoff. Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., was the low Canadian, tying for 13th at 13 under. Taylor won the Canadian Open two years ago at Oakdale Golf and Country Club. TPC Toronto will host the Canadian Open again next year. It was a tight leaderboard throughout the round, with eight players tied for first before Fox and fellow third-round leader Matteo Manaserro even teed off. Ireland's Shane Lowry, for example, started his day with an eagle and followed it up with three consecutive birdies to start his day 5 under through just four holes to take sole possession of the lead. He bogeyed Nos. 17 and 18 to fall back, however. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 8, 2025.

Middletown native, Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison wins UFC championship
Middletown native Kayla Harrison has some new gold to boast about. Harrison, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo, became the Ultimate Fighting Championship's bantamweight champion on June 7 after defeating Julianna Peña at UFC 316 in Newark, New Jersey. Kayla Harrison reacts after defeating Julianna Peña (not pictured) in a bantamweight title bout during UFC 316 at the Prudential Center. Harrison became the first American to win gold in judo in the 2012 London Olympics. In the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro, Harrison won her second gold before transitioning to mixed martial arts training. Advertisement She made her debut for the Professional Fighters League in 2018, going 16-1 in the promotion and twice winning its $1 million tournament before joining the UFC. Harrison's win over Peña was her third in the UFC, giving her a 19-1 professional record. In the final seconds of the second round, Harrison submitted Peña with a kimura hold. "This belt, more than anything it represents I think indomitable will and who I became during the journey to get this belt and who I am now as a human being," Harrison said after the fight in an interview with UFC's McKenzie Pavacich. "That's really what it is. That's what it represents." This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Kayla Harrison vs. Julianna Peña: UFC bantamweight championship result
