The ISU Junior Grand Prix in Poland is an international figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the Polish Figure Skating Association (Polish: Polski Związek Łyżwiarstwa Figurowego). It is held periodically as an event of the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP), a series of international competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earn points based on their results at the qualifying competitions each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to then compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.
History
[edit]The ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP) was established by the International Skating Union (ISU) in 1997 and consists of a series of seven international figure skating competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. The locations of the Junior Grand Prix events change every year. While all seven competitions feature the men's, women's, and ice dance events, only four competitions each season feature the pairs event. Skaters earn points based on their results each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are then invited to compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.[1]
Skaters are eligible to compete on the junior-level circuit if they are at least 13 years old before 1 July, and if they have not yet turned 19 (for single skaters), 21 (for ice dancers and female pair skaters), or 23 (for male pair skaters). Competitors are chosen by their respective skating federations rather than by the ISU. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member nation in each discipline is determined by their results at the prior World Junior Figure Skating Championships.[2]
Poland hosted its first Junior Grand Prix competition in 2000 in Gdańsk. Ryan Bradley of the United States won the men's event, Anna Jurkiewicz of Poland won the women's event, Julia Karbovskaya and Sergei Slavnov of Russia won the pairs event, and Elena Romanovskaya and Alexander Grachev, also of Russia, won the ice dance event.[3]
Poland has twice hosted the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, the culminating event of the Junior Grand Prix series. The 1999 Junior Grand Prix Final was held in Gdańsk. Gao Song of China won the men's event, Deanna Stellato of the United States won the women's event, Aljona Savchenko and Stanislav Morozov of Ukraine won the pairs event, and Natalia Romaniuta and Daniil Barantsev of Russia won the ice dance event.[4] The 2007 Junior Grand Prix Final was also held in Gdańsk. Adam Rippon and Mirai Nagasu, both of the United States, won the men's and women's events, respectively; and Maria Monko and Ilia Tkachenko of Russia won the ice dance event.[5] Vera Bazarova and Yuri Larionov of Russia originally won the pairs event, but when a positive drug test from Larionov revealed the presence of a banned substance, they were stripped of their gold medals,[6] and Ksenia Krasilnikova and Konstantin Bezmaternikh, also of Russia, were elevated to pairs champions.[7]
The Croatian Skating Federation was scheduled to host the fifth competition of the 2022–23 ISU Junior Grand Prix Series in Zagreb, but cancelled the event for "logistical reasons."[8] The French Federation of Ice Sports had originally volunteered to host a replacement event in Grenoble; however, it, too, was cancelled. The event was reallocated to Poland,[9] where two Junior Grand Prix competitions were held back-to-back in Gdańsk.[10]
The 2025 competition is scheduled to be held 1–4 October in Gdańsk, and will be the sixth event in the 2025–26 Junior Grand Prix Series.[11]
