2026-2027 Figure Skating in China

[labgoat]

Keeping up with Chinese Figure Skating is challenging. They hold a series of competitions called China (CN) Interclub Stages - each stage is named for the city it is held in. Skaters are grouped by test level/ability not by age.

Results can be found in Skating Scores after a bit of delay.

• CN Stage 1 Harbin (8-9 July)
• CN Stage 2 Shenzhen (17-18 July)
• CN Stage 3 Hangzhou (24-26 July)
• CN Stage 4 Weihai (29 July - 2 August)
• CN Stage 5 Beijing (5-13 August)
• CN Stage 6 Final (9-13 September)

Videos can often be found on YT from Tike Zhang (recommended) or Chinese sources such as Arielle12 (China YT), Bilibilli or Weibo.

Good luck. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

Few more information about Chinese InterClub Leauge. There are five events plus the final. I don't know how the rules work. The senior cathegory is more like "open" - even very young skaters can compete (probably need to have certain sill level).
List of events:
1. Harbin (8-9 July)
2. Shenzhen (17-18 July)
3. Hangzhou (24-26 July)
4. Weihai (29 July - 2 August)
5. Beijing (5-13 August)
6. Final (9-13 September).

*The scores can't really be compared with the international ones - they have bonus point system for difficulty and the bonus points are huge. A skater can get additional TES points for attempting quads, 3axels, 3-3 combos etc. Even if they are not landed cleanly, some points are given (less than for a clean one though). E.g. Daiwei Dai got 18 bonus points in total.

By the way, for any of the others who were disappointed after Canada's NextGen Competition, these two Rhythm Dances are, in my opinion, decent examples of how choreographers can deal with the requirements set by the ISU without throwing away the character of a Waltz completely.

This also goes for the third-placed RD (Yixuan Wang / Shiqi Guan - 45.44)

Agree. Harbin junior rhythm dance was lovely to watch in terms of music choices, costumes and choreography. I enjoyed it much more than NextGen tbh.

I was very excited for the season after seeing these Rhythm Dances by the Chinese Junior Ice Dancers, as well as Yoshida/Morita and Kushida/Shimada's RDs. NextGen brought me back to reality, unfortunately.
