I mean it looks like they’ve added a bid next to every Taipei bid - shocker.

I believe we're up to 4...
2019 CoC
2021 CoC
2022 4CCs
2022 CoC
I give a huge side-eye to awarding them 2024 4CCs, especially since the CCP is still insistent on the zero-Covid policy.
I believe that last year's Asian Open was originally designated as a Challenger, and the Beijing Test Event, but it lost its Challenger status when all of the non-Chinese athletes in pairs and dance were unable to get any flights into Beijing without it being insanely difficult - the entire US team assigned originally were withdrawn a few weeks before because of that.I feel like China may also have canceled Shanghai Trophy and/or Asian Open (senior B) at some point. But I could be wrong about that.
Portland. Too bad we have issues (We're working on it!) and won't likely bid for worlds.I would guess it's the requirements for a practice rink. Ice Sheffield is a two minute walk from the Arena and has two ice pads. I can't think of another city where an existing rink is even practical to use as a practice rink compared to where the arena would be.
They canceled Shanghai Trophy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_TrophyI feel like China may also have canceled Shanghai Trophy and/or Asian Open (senior B) at some point. But I could be wrong about that.
If Portland ever puts in a bid for Worlds,Portland. Too bad we have issues (We're working on it!) and won't likely bid for worlds.
You may be thinking of the Asian Open Figure Skating Trophy, which was relocated from Hong Kong to JakartaI want to say that there was another event (maybe SEA Open?) which was originally scheduled for China this season, but wound up being moved to Singapore during the late spring/summer when it became clear that nowhere in China could host any events this year.
I volunteered at the nationals that were here way back when. 2005??? I remember people were happy with the Memorial Colosseum and the Moda Center being right next to each other.If Portland ever puts in a bid for Worlds,% I would volunteer! Heck, if we ever put in a bid for Nats, 4CCs or the GPF, I'd volunteer too! Quick drive for me up to the Rose Quarter, as long as I can avoid the commute hours, lol.
I had only just moved back up to Oregon the spring before, so I didn't have any idea that volunteers were needed, etc, but I did have an all-event ticket and loved the entire competition. We just need to find a way to avoid another ice storm!I volunteered at the nationals that were here way back when. 2005??? I remember people were happy with the Memorial Colosseum and the Moda Center being right next to each other.
So no bidding on events until 2027 it is!I believe we're up to 4...

Is China a powerful federation in figure skating? How did that happen given that they only ever were a powerhouse in Pairs and have hardly sent out any skaters to international comps in the past few years?I would guess that the ISU is using up its small store of brave resolution to keep the Russians banned, and doesn’t have the stomach for reproaching another powerful federation.
Do we start a betting pool now to see how close to the event they pull out?SU Four Continents Figure Skating Championships 2024, January 29-February 4, 2024, Shanghai / CHN
is jamsil indoor stadium suitable for skating?KSU hasn't decided the 2025 4CC venue yet. They are thinking of either Mokdong or Goyang, somewhere in the Seoul metropolitan area.

April 25, 2023 (final sentence: "The ISU will make a decision in June about who will be allowed to organize the WC 2028"):ISU Championships bids update as of Apr 21, 2023 (with my annotations):
...
2028 WorldsVienna AUT - new bid as of Apr 2023 (for dates of Mar 20-26, 2028)Malmö SWE - new bid as of Apr 2023 (for dates of Mar 20-26, 2028)
ETA link to the 2024 Montreal Worlds thread in GSD (all event tickets are supposed to go on sale in May): https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/threads/2024-world-figure-skating-championships-in-montreal.110351/The Swedish Figure Skating Association has submitted an application to the ISU (International Skating Union) to be allowed to organize the World Figure Skating Championships in 2028 in Malmö.
- In 2021, we arranged a very successful WC despite being in a pandemic. It was a different championship, with many restrictions and without an audience. We have therefore had a dialogue with the ISU about the possibilities of once again organizing a WC, this time without restrictions. That is why we applied for the World Figure Skating Championships in 2025 with Malmö as the host city. Unfortunately, the great figure skating nation USA also submitted an application and was awarded the event. Now we are looking forward to the WC 2028 and hope to welcome the world's best skaters to Sweden again, says Peter Levin, vice chairman of the confederation's board.
The association applies to organize the WC 2028 together with the city of Malmö and Malmö Arena.
- The WC in Figure Skating is a fantastic arrangement that we would be proud to bring to our city. It is in line with Malmö's ambition to be a world-class event city and is a chance to show off our fine city to all those interested in figure skating, says Janne Grönholm (MP), municipal councilor in Malmö.
Helena Rosén Andersson, chairwoman of the Figure Skating Association, emphasizes how important it is that Sweden is allowed to organize the major championships.
- Arranging major championships at home puts Swedish figure skating both on the national and international map. It increases interest and visibility for our fantastic sport. A championship on home ground that gives the opportunity to see the world's best skaters live can for many young people awaken the dream of one day standing on the championship ice themselves. It inspires and creates a driving force. A championship can also contribute to increased income for Swedish figure skating, which can support the activities of the associations, says Helena Rosén Andersson.
The WC in Figure Skating is the world's largest winter sports event with over 300 million TV viewers who follow the skaters' fight for the medals on the ice. The ISU will make a decision in June about who will be allowed to organize the WC 2028.

ARM Yerevan January 23-29, 2023
BLR Minsk January 23-29, 2023
BUL Sofia January 23-29, 2023
CZE Ostrava January 23-29, 2023

GER Essen January 16-22, 2023
HUN Budapest January 9-15, 2023 - provisionally allotted 2024
ITA Torino January 23-29, 2023
According to a press release published today (in Hungarian only), after careful consideration, the Hungarian Skating Federation has decided to withdraw from organising the 2024 Euros. The reasons cited are the high energy costs and in a somewhat misleading argument, the ongoing war in the Ukraine. The bottom line is that the government could not/did not want to foot the hefty bill of organising committee so there seemed to be no other choice but to withdraw.
Maybe Sydney could put in a bid to host that Europeans, y'know, just because.Yikes - paging Tallinn!
Yikes - paging Tallinn!
LOL - I was thinking Shanghai could pull double-duty in 2024 and host both Euros and 4CCs.Maybe Sydney could put in a bid to host that Europeans, y'know, just because.
Yikes, the troubles within the Hungarian federation continue... Budapest was announced as the provisional location for 2024 Europeans on June 3, 2021.
I couldn't find a list of bids for 2024 Euros but here were the bids for 2023 Euros in September 2020:
