2022–23 ISU Junior Grand Prix

Figure skating competition

The 2022–23 ISU Junior Grand Prix was a series of junior international competitions organized by the International Skating Union that were held from August 2022 through December 2022. It was the junior-level complement to the 2022–23 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earned points based on their placement at each event and the top six in each discipline qualified to compete at the 2022–23 Junior Grand Prix Final in Turin, Italy.

Competitions

The locations of the JGP events change yearly. The Armenian Skating Federation was originally scheduled to host the fourth JGP event in Yerevan, but cancelled the event due to the Azerbaijani invasion of Armenia. The ISU Council therefore decided to reallocate the competitors' entries to the next upcoming three Junior Grand Prix events in Poland and Italy.[1][2]

The Croatian Skating Federation was scheduled to host the fifth JGP event in Zagreb, but cancelled the event due to logistical reasons.[3] The Fédération Française des Sports de Glace initially volunteered to host two separate JGP events. However, on July 29, 2022, the ISU announced that France would no longer host the event in Grenoble as planned. The event was reallocated to the Polish Figure Skating Association, which hosted two back-to-back JGP events in Gdańsk.[4]

This season, the series was composed of the following events.[5][6]

Entries

Skaters who reached the age of 13 before July 1, 2022, but had not turned 19 (singles skaters and female pairs or ice dance skaters) or 21 (male pairs or ice dance skaters) were eligible to compete on the junior circuit. Competitors were chosen by their countries according to their federations' selection procedures. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member federation was determined by their skaters' placements at the 2022 World Junior Championships in each discipline.

Qualification

At each event, skaters earned points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the seventh event, the top six highest-scoring skaters/teams advanced to the Final. The points earned per placement were as follows.[7]

More information Placement, Singles ...

There were originally seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points:[7]

  1. Highest placement at an event. If a skater placed 1st and 3rd, the tiebreaker is the 1st place, and that beats a skater who placed 2nd in both events.
  2. Highest combined total scores in both events. If a skater earned 200 points at one event and 250 at a second, that skater would win in the second tie-break over a skater who earned 200 points at one event and 150 at another.
  3. Participated in two events.
  4. Highest combined scores in the free skating/free dance portion of both events.
  5. Highest individual score in the free skating/free dance portion from one event.
  6. Highest combined scores in the short program/short dance of both events.
  7. Highest number of total participants at the events.

If a tie remained, it was considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advanced to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
