ISU Grand Prix

The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series started in 1995 (previously known as the “ISU Champions Series”) and consists of six international senior events that culminate with the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. The Skaters are seeded and invited to the six Grand Prix of Figure Skating events based on the results achieved at the previous ISU World Figure Skating Championships. The top 12 Skaters/Couples are guaranteed two Grand Prix assignments. Medalists from the ISU World Junior Figure Skating 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 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. Only the top six Skaters/Couples in each discipline qualify for the Final.
