Joshua Farris withdraws from Grand Prix figure skating events

Joshua Farris withdrew from his Grand Prix figure skating assignments as he recovers from a concussion, U.S. Figure Skating said Friday.

“I couldn’t be more disappointed to withdraw from my Grand Prix assignments,” Farris, who has yet to resume training, said in a press release. “I am steadily healing and hope to be back on the ice as soon as possible.”

Farris, the 2013 World junior champion, took bronze at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in January and finished 11th at his first senior World Championships in March.

He was scheduled to compete in Skate Canada over Halloween weekend and NHK Trophy in Japan in late November.
