Just in from Philip Hersh

@olyphil

Mini-scoop:
@USFigureSkating
will bid for the 2024 World Championships and begin seeking potential hosts later this year.
@ISU_Figure will pick site in June 2021. My bet is on Las Vegas, which will host the 2022 ISU Congress.

Los Angeles again, one more time!!

So many skaters are from suburban Chicago, why not make it easy on some USA skaters and do Chicago! ?

Suburban Chicago is a great place to be from; it's not necessarily a great place to be.

I thought Skate America in Hoffman Estates was pretty nice, actually.

Lol, ok!

I thought Detroit as an option was being floated last year?

any idea who's in the running for 2023?

@Vagabond Interestingly enough a fair amount of us millenials are using it as a vacation destination. It's a fun city to go to - at least in the summer. In the winter it's still pretty miserable weather-wise, but that can be said for a lot of worlds host cities.

I thought the US was bidding for 2023 Worlds.

I asked the USFS President what year the US would host Worlds again and she said it would be 2024.

It should be - they have a new arena and it is gorgeous.

I’m all in for Detroit. We go to Detroit all the time for concerts, hockey, etc. Easy to get around on the People Mover, and yes, the new arena is a great venue.

I figured the US would go for 2023 since it seems like the US gets to host Worlds every 7 years.

LOVED Detroit; the area around the arena is also great.
