The ISU Figure Skating Grand Prix Series started in 1995 (previously known as the “ISU Champions Series”) and consists of six international senior events that culminate with the ISU Figure Skating Grand Prix Final. The Skaters are seeded and invited to the six ISU Figure Skating Grand Prix events based on the results achieved at the previous ISU Figure Skating World Championships. The top 12 Skaters/Couples are guaranteed two Grand Prix assignments. Medalists from the ISU Figure Skating Junior World Championships can also be selected provided they are age eligible and have moved up to the senior level. Competitors collect points in their Grand Prix events towards the qualification for the ISU Figure Skating Grand Prix Final. Only the top six Skaters/Couples in each discipline qualify for the Final.
