From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Grand Prix Final)
Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final
Type:ISU Grand Prix

The Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final (formerly Champions Series Final) is a senior-level international figure skating competition. Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. The event is the culmination of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series; skaters earn points for their placements and the top six from each discipline qualify to the Final.

Although not an ISU Championship, the Grand Prix Final has been considered by the International Skating Union to be the most important international competition in a first half of figure skating season before start of the ISU Championships.

History

[edit]

The first three editions of the competition were titled the Champions Series Final. The current name was first used in the 1998–99 season. The competition omitted the compulsory dance prior to the International Skating Union's decision to completely discontinue the segment.
