China cancels as host of figure skating’s Four Continents Championships

For the second time in less than a month, the Chinese Figure Skating Association has canceled a major international figure skating competition.

The International Skating Union announced Monday the CFSA’s cancellation of the 2022 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, scheduled for Jan. 17-22 in Tianjin.

“Unfortunately, considering the complicated epidemic situation involving travel restrictions, quarantine requirements, safety concerns and logistical challenges, the organization of the event was extremely challenging,” the release read.

Chongqing had announced its cancellation of Cup of China, one of six Grand Prix Series stops, on Aug. 16, also due to Covid-19 matters.
