figure skating series isu grand prix of This season marks the 29th year for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series. The Series, launched in 1995, combines six prestigious, international figure skating competitions as a unified point-earning series that awards prize money to eligible figure skaters.
SKATER SELECTIONS One of the biggest misconceptions is that each country assigns its own skaters to the six Grand Prix events. Here, we’ve outlined the selection process, used for the first time in 2003. Essentially, there are three different classifications of skaters for the Grand Prix Series. All skaters and pairs/ice dance couples may compete in a maximum of two events. 1. Seeded Skaters/Couples: The top six finishers in each discipline from the most recent World Championships will be considered to be seeded and be assigned, by draw, to skate in two events. 2. Invited Skaters/Couples: Skaters or couples who have placed 7–12 in singles or 7–10 in pairs and ice dance at the 2023 World Championships are guaranteed to be selected for two Grand Prix events, provided that these skaters/couples fulfill the requirements of the minimum score. 3. Minimum Score: Each entrant to the Grand Prix events must meet the minimum total
score (SP/SD + FS/FD) to be included in the entry or the alternate list. For the 2023 Grand Prix season, the minimum scores are: Minimum total score: Women: 134.77 Men: 180.68 Pairs: 133.30 Ice Dance: 135.60 Skaters/couples who have scored at least the above-mentioned limit in an ISU championships, ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating and Final (Junior or Senior) or ISU Challenger Series Competition between July 1, 2021 and June 27, 2022 are eligible for selection into the 2022 Grand Prix events or
