France has an early 1-0 lead on China after 1.

If China loses this game in regulation, they are relegated to Division 1B with one full day of games left. (can only tie Norway, who they've already lost to)

Seeing on my end that SVK-FRA is delayed due to ice issues?

#WomensWorldsD1A:

Since this question came up on other social media, allow me to address it here.

The team that wins promotion out of this D1A tournament does NOT play in the top level #WomensWorlds this upcoming November.

They play in the *2027* WWC, happening in Quebec City in November 2027.

SVK win = SVK promoted.
FRA regulation win = FRA promoted.
FRA OT win + HUN regulation win = HUN promoted.
FRA OT win + NOR any points = FRA promoted.

After 2 days of action at the #WomensWorldsD1A, Slovaks occupy 3 of the top 4 scoring spots (Lopusanova: tied with Kapicakova at 2G + 2A)
April 14, 2026 at 1:44 PM
Estelle Duvin (FRA): Got a hat trick today vs China - her three goals were an even strength goal, a shorthanded goal and a powerplay goal

#WomensWorldsD1A

Slovakia leads Norway 2-0 after 1 period at the #WomensWorldsD1A.

Kapicakova (SVK): Has both goals, scored in a span of 2:34.

Norway: eliminated if they don't win in regulation.

FRANCE, WELCOME TO QUEBEC CITY!

France wins promotion to the 2027 #WomensWorlds with a 3-1 win over Slovakia!

I just noticed - this result also eliminates the Italians from promotion to 2027 WWC.

(With 7 points, the most Italy can get is 10. With Slovakia and France both at 9 and playing each other tomorrow, someone will definitely reach 11 points.)

I don't know if it's the top 1 or the top 2 that get promoted with the change in format to the top level #WomensWorlds - FlashScore and Wikipedia highlight top 2 but recent IIHF articles imply it's now only top 1.

Hungary faces Norway in the final game of the #WomensWorldsD1A with silver and bronze medals still to be decided.

If Hungary wins:
🥈 🇭🇺
🥉 🇮🇹

If Norway wins:
🥈🇮🇹
🥉🇸🇰

(Hungary has the tiebreaker over Italy; they do not have it over Slovakia)

As I'm making the #WomensWorldsD1A table, it appears the promotion scenario is as follows:

The winner of France vs Slovakia tomorrow will be promoted to the 2027 #WomensWorlds in all scenarios EXCEPT ONE.

If France beats Slovakia in OT AND Hungary beats Norway in regulation, Hungary is promoted.
April 17, 2026 at 8:27 PM
With more than 75% of their tournament played (assuming no OT today or tomorrow), China is on the board.

Trail France 1-6--- make that 1-7 as I'm writing this - with 10 minutes to go.

A regulation loss relegates China to D1B no matter what happens tomorrow.

#WomensWorldsD1A: Signs seem to point to ONE team going up to the #WomensWorlds in Quebec City in 2027.

The most up to date news article from before D1A started is pictured below.

The 2024 Semi-Annual Congress also hinted at only one team going down / up from main / D1A.
