From Lake Placid, USA
(March 5, 2025) – The IBSF World Championships kick off on Thursday with men’s and women’s skeleton beginning at 9:00 AM ET for the men and 2:00 PM ET for the women. Below are the start lists.
Unlike in years past, qualification for the World Championships were based on World Cup ranking, not IBSF ranking, as a nation had to have raced in 50% of the allocated World Cup quota races during the year.
