The ISU was informed by the Japan Skating Federation (JSF)
that the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final 2021,
scheduled to take place from December 9 - 12, 2021 in Osaka
(JPN) cannot be held as planned.
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 Japan Skating Federation
and the Local Organizing Committee tried their best
to find solutions but ultimately concluded that,
regrettably, they are unable to organize and hold
the event as planned.
The ISU regrets that the hosting of the event is no
longer possible in Osaka in December. The ISU will
evaluate a possible postponement to hold the Event
at the end of the season and will take a decision as
soon as possible. The ISU thanks the Japan Skating
Federation for their efforts and cooperation.
