2025 Grand Prix de France: General Info and Pregame Chat

[gsk8]

2025 Grand Prix de France is the first event of the 2025-26 ISU Grand Prix series and is scheduled to take place October 17-19, 2025. 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 2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships. 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 2024-25 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 2024-25 or current 2025-26 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.

Ticket sales start on Friday!



Also included in that insta post is the schedule and the price list. I'm a bit surprised about the schedule tbh, I thought they would just cram all the events into Friday and Saturday and then have the gala in the afternoon on Sunday...

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Added to the entry lists today:
Léa Serna, Francois Pitot and the Kovalevs

and Wessenberg/Strekalin in Pairs

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Women still only 11 entries...does that mean they won't give the host spot to Clémence?

She's been assigned.

 

[AlexRus]

France filled all its spots.
Women - 201 Clemence MAYINDU FRA 121.43 S 1 home spot
Pairs - Megan WESSENBERG / Denys STREKALIN FRA 1 home spot

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Anastasia Golubeva / Hektor Giotopoulos Moore (AUS, pairs) have withdrawn

(McBeath / Parkman are at the top of the replacement list, they'd be doing back-to-back GPs if they accept this assignment.)

Nooooooo isn't this their second WD already this season? That doesn't sound too good

 

[crystalspin]

So disappointing... I know they dealt with illness last year that took them out of decent bit of the season. I'm hoping its nothing serious and they are back strong for Skate Canada. Such a good team. I like McBeath/Parkman so happy for them they get 2 spots this season.

That is disappointing. I also like McBeath/Parkman, but they may still be long shots for the Olympics if Daniil can't get citizenship sorted out by then (which seems unlikely).

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

I just hope it's nothing bad. The thing that worries me is that they WD from Kinoshita Group Cup already and that was almost a month ago...so whatever kept them of the ice there seems to be an issue still...

 

[saine]

McBeath/Parkman now have the Pairs spot.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Niina Petrokina (EST, women) has withdrawn

This spot should go to Jia Shin (KOR), who would then have two back-to-back assignments.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

NOOOOOOOOO I was so looking forward to seeing her!

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

As expected, Jia Shin is now competing!

 

[MFarone]

Peacock has tiles up for this event. So far I haven't been able to find any broadcast/cable tv schedule for U. S.

 

[SubRosa]

The NBC listing where I am (Mountain time) says Saturday, October 18 from 1:30-4:00 pm.
