Figure Skating World Standings and World Ranking Communication update to include Junior International Competitions

Further to a proposal by Austria Figure in 2018 to create a World Ranking for Juniors and the subsequent resolution and follow-up during the 2022 Congress in Phuket, the Council approved an update of ISU Communication 1629 which will now include a Junior World Standing (WS)/World Ranking (WR).

Therefore, two different World Standings/World Rankings will be published by the ISU:
1. One overall list (based on the current list but also taking into consideration Junior International Competitions).
2. One list with only Junior Skaters who have participated in International Junior Competitions, Junior Grand Prix events and Junior World Championships

The new Junior World Standing will be used for the starting order draws for the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships and will allow Skaters moving up from Junior to Seniors to have more points from their Junior career. A new Communication, with all details, will be published shortly.

Now, the only thing I'm still asking for is more competitions for Jrs to not just gain WS points, but official ISU personal (and season's) bests.

At most, juniors have 4 opportunities each season, and that's only if they are sent to two JGPs, qualify for the JGPF, and are sent to Junior Worlds.

Overall World Standings will now include also points from B international Junior events (if they meet the requirements in terms of number of countries and skaters participating)

For both Senior and Junior competitions, the number of skaters/countries is now calculated based on those who finish the Short program rather than those entered at the time of the starting order draw.
