They should let San Jose host Skate America.

They should let San Jose host Skate America.

San Jose has been awarded the 2023 Nationals, as a replacement for 2021. I think the SJ arena is probably too large for Skate America.

I'm thinking the safest choice for 2021 Skate America might be Vegas again, because Covid might still be an issue & it has been shown twice that the "bubble" at the Orleans does work.

Is CoC at Chongqing? This calendar doesn't say so. https://www.isu.org/figure-skating/events/figure-skating-calendar/list.events/-?start=30

Everything else checks out in your post, so I wondered.

I think it could be a modified bubble, having been there. Have your vax pass port with fall booster shot? No problemo.....a person in every other seat. Real Mask mandate. No rags. Bring your own cardboard cutout for the seat next to you. No mingling of fans and credentialed people.

I love mingling!

Oh wow, I just realized that this will be Japan's sixth time in a row hosting the Olympic season's GPF

[Laid-Back Enthusiast]

Does anybody know when will the grand prix assignments for each skater will be announced? or at least when is it usually announced

 

[Laid-Back Enthusiast]

and also, are they planning them to be international competitions or locals ones like in the previous season?

 

[GoneWithTheWind]

Does anybody know when will the grand prix assignments for each skater will be announced? or at least when is it usually announced

They're usually announced mid to late June. Last Olympic season (2017-18), they were announced a little earlier: at the end of May.
But, I don't know when they're planning to announce them this time.

Is anyone else having a hard time finding Skate America 2021 tickets? Ticketmaster won't work for me! What's golng on?

No, they're not up yet there for me, either. Since they don't go on sale until the 26th, I'm going to hope that they just... appear at some point. if not, I guess I'm calling early to make sure lol.

 

[moonvine]

I don’t know what they are planning. Perhaps they will leave it up to each country who is hosting since various countries are in different places with the virus.

 

[Kitt]

oops, just noticed that it's May 26, not April. Guess I'm in a hurry!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

IFS Magazine confirms that the NHK Trophy will be held in Tokyo, and we can expect assignments in late May to early June
