2022 Grand Prix Assignments - when do they come out?

[leilaofpaper]

Also - Russia's not going to win.

No, they better not. But I meant more so that the ISU would (if they’re smart) have some sort of plan in place for all these scenarios.

Phil Hersh just tweeted that a city in England may be slated along with Finland for the two unfilled event spots.

Per Phil Hersh: Grand prix selections will be Friday and maybe announced next day. Replacement events will be Finland and maybe England.

Real London?

 

[On My Own]

Hahaha, congrats Brits! ( @litenkyckling ?)

 

[Dobre]

Excellent about Finland and fingers crossed for event #6.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

Sheffield? London would be fantastic.

 

[litenkyckling]

Sheffield? London would be fantastic.

I think Sheffield would be more likely - the hockey arena is really nice there so would be an option

 

[Bouffantrex]

The return of Skate Electric after a 32-year hiatus? ? I am definitely here for it.

 

[On My Own]

I want a Downton Abbey program or two

 

[Karen-W]

That would be so fantastic, if Fear/Gibson get a home GP!!!! And for the rest of the British skaters who rarely get assigned to GP events.

 

[Rhumba d’Amour]

I want a Downton Abbey program or two

I want the event to be styled as, the Torvill and Dean Trophy Cup

 

[On My Own]

Bolero Cup Topical from last season!

 

[sk9tingfan]

I want a Downton Abbey program or two

And I would vote for a Bridgerton program or two!

 

[Ena Grins]

Love the vagueness of "maybe a city in England." I don't think any of us had "Skate Sheffield" on our GP bingo cards for this season but I'd be into it.

 

[litenkyckling]

I've just checked the hockey fixtures and if this event is the weekend of 25th-27th November then it would perhaps be Nottingham, because Sheffield play Nottingham at home that weekend?

Hersh's tweet said Finland would keep the Russia slot and UK could be taking the China slot, so the weekend would be Nov 11th-13th for either Sheffield or Nottingham.

LEEDS FTW!!!!

First of all, props to BIS for stepping up if there is indeed a British GP. Also, I'm now glad I didn't yet get around to booking for IdF.

My expectation is also for Sheffield: this is BIS - it's always Sheffield. But the Sheffield Steelers have a match at the Utilta Arena that weekend and I don't know if that's something that could be rearranged.

A quick look at their website suggests that the NIC/Motorpoint Arena doesn't have anything that weekend. I think Nottingham would be great for a GP. And I'm here for the Torvill and Dean Trophy Cup - I'm sure Chris would love being at the centre of events and handing out all the medals.

London would be convenient for me, but I think it's off the table. Lee Valley should be a SCOB-type venue when it reopens, but that will be a few weeks too late to host anything this year. And none of the multi-use arenas are really suitable.

Oops, meant to edit and ended up double posting: Maybe a Nottingham Panters home game too that weekend. So perhaps somewhere with less of a skating tradition.

LEEDS FTW!!!!

Do we even have an ice rink???

 

[Bunny Hop]

I am totally in favour of this, but husband just suggested that as the Cup of China was normally sponsored by Audi that a British GP should also have a car sponsorship so maybe Jaguar Cup of Britain.

 

[Vagabond]

British Grand Prix, eh? ?

? ?

Silverstone! ?

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

I want the British GP to be sponsored by Terry's Chocolate Orange, and for Dawn French to be the official event sponsor's spokesperson.

Hmmm early xmas trip home?

After dealing with Fanyus and Yunabots all these years, the last thing figure skating needs is to get Hamilton fans involved

Good news for the Brits, if so (and a big up yours to the Russians if the ISU have a full six-GP series). Good to know the date, too.

Doing a bit of research tonight - looks like all of the EIHL teams have at least one home game between Nov 11th-13th except Belfast. And, a quick look at the SSE Arena Belfast website doesn't indicate there is anything booked there that weekend yet. The arena in Newcastle also looks to be open that weekend and seems to like a reasonable possibility. My money is on one of those two, unless they are willing to go with a much smaller arena.

Belfast would be extremely convenient for me, but unfortunately on this occasion it’s not in England.

Parochial question: Are there criteria skaters have to meet to be eligible for host spots?
