ISU Provisional Allotments for 2024-2028

[danafan]

Hmm. I've been waiting for them to announce the host of 2027 worlds. As I've posted elsewhere I'm going to be on a leave of absence in the 2026-2027 school year. I plan to travel and want to take in a figure skating competition. Not sure between Europeans in Lausanne or worlds. My options might depend on the Canadian gymnastics schedule. Or maybe I can do both. Anyway I look forward to the opportunity and hope I can get some help from FSU when the time comes to plan my trip(s).

Interesting that according to the announcement, the dates of the grand prix competitions are different than traditionally. Skate America will be the 5th week. It's happened before, but it's a bit unusual.

The ISU Congress for 2026 will be June 10-12 in Tenerife, Spain

They are going to the Canary Islands? That ain’t work.

It is if someone else isn’t driving you. There’s no coastal road all around the island and the minute you drive inland it’s hair-raising.

LMAO, I’ve been there. I highly doubt they’re driving up any volcano. I’m sure they are at some luxe hotel on the beach, I’m gonna go crash the party.

I can carry your bags

Hey, if the ISU needs a secluded, out-of-the-way location for its Congress, they should try Lake Placid sometime. I hear that it's lovely, especially in November.

Business as usual for the ISU. Wasn't it held in Phuket a few years ago?

Figure skating has always been incestuous.

I get wanting to grow the sport, I really do. But could we not have even ONE event in North America?

 

[PRlady]

I know. UAE, Turkey, Bangkok, all along the Silk Road…..will no one think of Dubuque?

Well, I don't think Abu Dhabi is all THAT close to the Silk Road, nor Bangkok, but it would still be nice to see a JGP come back to North America, but I suppose the Mexican fed can't be persuaded any more than the USFS or Skate Canada at this point.

Talk to the North American skating federations - there's an obvious lack of interest in hosting these events.

 

[her grace]

South America would be cool, too.

Aside from Argentina, I'm not sure there are any full-sized rinks in any other South American countries.

Is that along the Pork Road?

The Silk Roads also include maritime routes so the UAE and Thailand were in fact also part of the network of these trade routes.

About the Silk Roads | Silk Roads Programme

The vast trade networks of the Silk Roads carried more than just merchandise and precious commodities. In fact, the constant movement and mixing of populations brought about the widespread transmission of knowledge, ideas, cultures and beliefs, which had a profound impact on the history and...

And before you come at me I previously worked at a research institute devoted to the study of the Silk Roads.
