The World Championships will take place in Saitama, Japan from 19th-26th March. There are only a few competitions left for skaters and teams to achieve the minimum TES scores required to qualify for Worlds, these being Tallink Hotels Cup, Bellu Memorial, and Challenge Cup.
Here we’ll list skaters and teams still searching for those minimum scores and which competitions they’re entered in. There are certain skaters we can assume will receive the assignment for Worlds, so some of these listed are likely to be vying for an alternate spot if the assigned skater had to withdraw.

Not every skater who doesn’t currently have their minimums was included in this list, but a conscious effort was made to include those with strong potential to achieve them (those who already have the Euro/4CC minimums). If a skater is not on this list, you can assume they either have their minimum scores already, or are unlikely to reach them.

Thank you for this list. There’s so many skaters still needing tech minimums.
