The Four Continents Figure Skating Championships is an annual figure skating competition. The International Skating Union established it in 1999 to provide skaters representing non-European countries with a similar competition to the much older European Figure Skating Championships and a chance to win prize money. The 3 other annual figure skating competitions designated "ISU Championships" are the World Figure Skating Championships, the European Figure Skating Championships, and the World Junior Figure Skating Championships. The four continents of the event's name refer to the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australia (four of the continents represented in the Olympic rings, omitting Europe). Skaters compete in the categories of men's singles, ladies singles, pairs, and ice dancing.
Qualifying
Skaters qualify for the Four Continents Championships by belonging to a non-European Member nation of the ISU. Unlike the other championships, due to the smaller number of eligible nations, each Member country can enter 3 skaters/teams in each discipline.
Which skaters from each country attend the Four Continents Championships is at the national governing body's discretion. Some countries rely on the results of their national championships while others have more varied critea. Selections vary by country.
Skaters must be older than fifteen (as of July 1st the previous year) to compete. The European Figure Skating Championships is the corresponding competition for skaters from European countries.
The following countries are currently eligible to send skaters to the competition: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Mexico, D.P.R. Korea, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, New Zealand, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Republic of Korea, South Africa, Thailand, the United States of America, and Uzbekistan.
