2023 Grand Prix Espoo: General Info

[gsk8]

2023 Grand Prix Espoo is the fifth event of the 2023-24 Grand Prix series and is scheduled to take place Nov. 17-19, 2023, in Espoo, Finland. The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series consists of six international senior invitational events and culminates with the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in December.

Competitors collect points in their individual Grand Prix events towards the qualification for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. Only the top six skaters/teams in each discipline can qualify for the Final.

Skaters are seeded and invited to the six Grand Prix of Figure Skating events based on the results obtained at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2023. Skaters/teams who have placed first through sixth in each of the four categories are seeded and assigned to two events. Skaters/teams who have placed seventh through 12th at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships are selected for two ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating events. Skaters with a top 24 Season Best Scores (from the 2022/23 season), as well as those placed in the top 24 of the ISU World Standings, can also be invited.

In order for a skater/team to be eligible to compete at an ISU Grand Prix event, a minimum total score must have been achieved in the 2022/23 or current 2023/24 season in an ISU event (Grand Prix, Junior Grand Prix, Championships) or a Challenger Series event. Exceptions apply to host country skaters, previously ranked skaters or split ranked couples who return with new partners.

I received an e-mail about it in the end of August. There was a link where you could choose your meal time and reserve a table. The Fed asked to make the reservation no later than in October so contact [email protected] soon.

Thanks. I sent it immediately. See you then. Edit. I understood it wrong. Should have been bought both all-event tickets before the deadline, FT and GP.

If I tell you I want to vomit in crepe paper and wire, you better believe me
Still 3 more to do basic weave and I'm too embarrassed to admit how much more will be done on site...

Noooooo . Just like Finlandia Trophy I am sick again. Clear fever and I must cancel this too. Skating gods hate me. I can be healthy for years and now I am sick again just after a few weeks.

 

[NoNameFace]

Good morning from airport. One more crown already done, strong coffee consumed and I'm ready to rumble.
After 2,5 hrs of sleep and getting up at 3.30 AM to catch bus to the airport.

As exhibition thread is still closed, I ask here are there any clues who are invited? None of the skaters I follow in ig has published anything. Seems they are told to be quiet.
