The European Figure Skating Championships and Grand Prix Final have joined the list of international figure skating events canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ISU announced Thursday.
The decisions were made “in view of the worsening worldwide Covid-19 pandemic situation and the consequent increasing risks for organizers and participants,” according to the ISU.
Initially slated for Dec. 10-13 and intended to serve as the Olympic test event in Beijing, the Grand Prix Final was first postponed in September. The European Championships were scheduled for Jan. 25-31 in Zagreb, Croatia. The World Junior Synchronized Skating Championships have also been canceled.
