2021 Autumn Classic International: General Info

[gsk8]

The 2021 Autumn Classic International is the second in a series of nine events of the 2021-22 Figure Skating Challenger Series. It is currently scheduled to take place in Pierrefonds, QC, Canada, September 16-18, 2021. Due to the current provincial restrictions and guidelines, there are no planned ticket sales for the 2021 Autumn Classic International.

The Challenger Series was established by the International Skating Union (ISU) during the 2014–15 season and the events consist of a group of senior-level events ranked below the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. The series allows skaters to gain World Standing Points and is also a chance for officials to officiate at an international level.

[yuumagical]

A little sad, yet completely understandable to not see Yuzuru Hanyu listed here. That ice dance field, though...

Edit: Almost didn't notice Gabrielle Daleman listed here too!

 

[el henry]

Donovan and Deniss????

the killer D's

still a little sad Jason isn't skating...

 

[Orchidea]

quite poor list comparing with Lombardia trophy

 

[Andrea82]

The Latvian entries are now gone.
Men event won't be counted as part of the Challenger Series in terms of WS points. Requirement for Single is at least 8 entries from 4 countries.
I believe (based on what they did in the past) they would still count it for Season Bests.

 

[SnowWhite]

Absolutely, especially for the singles. The dance field is probably better here though, even though it's smaller.

 

[surimi]

How I wish some other federations would step in, but it's probably late for all the necessary paperwork?

 

[4everchan]

that's too bad about the latvian entries... Sigh.... I was hoping Edrian Celestino (PHI) would compete here but I am guessing he may be headed to Nebelhorn

 

[4everchan]

On skate canada's website... 4 canadian pairs are listed for ACI... I guess the pairs discipline is not part of the official challenger series and that's why it doesn't appear on the ISU events entries???

It's particularly interesting because it's like a mini Nationals... except for one team missing..
PAIR
VANESSA JAMES / ERIC RADFORD
LORI-ANN MATTE / THIERRY FERLAND
DEANNA STELLATO-DUDEK / MAXIME DESCHAMPS
EVELYN WALSH / TRENNT MICHAUD

 

[Gia_Sesshoumaru]

Yes, the Pairs discipline at ACI is just a regular international competition. Interesting that MT/M are not there, but I'm assuming that they're going to be sent to another senior b.

they are obviously going to Skate Canada International... so perhaps they are going to Finlandia which is a few weeks before: the Fed hasn't announced anything regarding Finlandia yet.

 

[Andrea82]

French Federation says Papadakis/Cizeron will withdraw from here.

Garabedian/Proulx Senecal also withdrew.

 

[4everchan]

well the armenians need to go to nebelhorn... I know they don't have to go far to get to ACI... but maybe they find it too tired to compete that weekend and then travel...

I read on a Japanese blog that Miura/Kihara are now added. That's 4 countries then. Does that make the event a Challenger for pairs?

Yes, the current pairs field qualifies for Challenger status. For pairs, it's a minimum of 5 entries from 3 countries.

So glad Riku and Ryuichi are now in!
Deanna and Max, too. Does it mean she was released by USFS to Skate Canada?

Any info about live steaming?

Yes, it must. She wouldn't be allowed to compete internationally otherwise.
