Grand Prix Final Cancelled

GP China has also been cancelled.

Cancellation / Postponement of ISU Events season 2020/21 - International Skating Union

The International Skating Union is the international sport federation administering Ice Skating sports throughout the world.

Given that there was zero practical way the GPF could have occurred, this really isn't surprising.

Does this mean the individual Grand Prix Series competitions will be cancelled as well?

GP China has also been cancelled.

Am I missing anything here? This announcement only mentioned GPF and I believe Chinese fed was still planning on hosting an all-Chinese Cup of China as of last week.

Some information about Cup of China:

- Yesterday the official account on Weibo posted that it would take place on Nov. 6-8 as planned and the wording seemed to imply that audiences would be allowed. (See my post from the season feasibility thread)

- Today the Chinese federation made an announcement saying that the participants would be limited to 1 group each discipline with those whose 19-20 SBs are in top 75 automatically qualified. Others who wish to take part in (and those who wish to be listed as subs) need to send a video of their FS/FD for selection before Oct. 9.

The fact that the announcement is made by CFSA makes me believe that CoC is very likely to be Chinese skaters only.

I wonder how long until the ISU pulls the plug on Europeans and Four Continents.

There are two threads on the same subject which is actually the cancellation or postponement of the GPF in Beijing - see: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/the-grand-prix-final-has-been-cancelled.107626/

That thread contains relevant links.
