2019 Japan Open
October 5, 2019
The Japan Open is an annual senior international figure skating team competition organized by the Japan Skating Federation. The current format (team event) was established in 2006. The competition is held every autumn in Japan. Invited skaters compete in the disciplines of men’s and ladies’ singles. Skaters perform a free program but no short. Individual results are combined for a team standing.

Two-time Olympic figure skating champion Karl Schäfer (AUT) is especially remembered for inventing the Schäfer push—a backward outside push to start loops. He is also a seven-time World champion (1930–1936) and eight-time European champion (1929–1936).
