ISU's new website design & relaunch

[Amy L]

Thanks I hate it.

This new website is an example of they have no idea what they were doing

Do you have a way to find the Biographies listings in the old format? i have discovered that doing a Google search for a skater's name brings up the old-format biography page for that skater, usually as the 3rd or 4th link. However, i wonder if those biographies will get updated as time passes.

Biographies - International Skating Union

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

current.isu.org

... The World Standings page and Statistics page look the same as on the old version of the ISU site, but the new URLs start with "current.isu.org" instead of just "isu.org"

A more general comment that "current.isu.org" instead of just "isu.org" is the key to finding many of the old/familiar ISU pages, such as:

https://current.isu.org/

https://current.isu.org/inside-isu/

https://current.isu.org/figure-skating

https://current.isu.org/figure-skating/events/figure-skating-calendar

https://current.isu.org/figure-skating/entries-results/fsk-results/

https://current.isu.org/figure-skating/entries-results/biographies -- Karen already posted this link​

... the old-format biography page for that skater ... However, i wonder if those biographies will get updated as time passes.

FWIW, old-format bio pages have been updated (presumably auto-updated?) with placements from 2024 Skate Canada International, and with Personal Best and Season Best scores that were achieved there. For example ...

from pairs: Anastasia Golubeva / Hektor Giotopoulos Moore AUS

from men: Aleksa Rakic CAN

https://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00105982.htm

from women: Kaori Sakamoto JPN
https://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00014151.htm

from ice dance: Emilea Zingas / Vadym Kolesnik USA

Anyone else getting the following error on the landing pages for the Grand Prix, Jr Grand Prix & Challenger Series?

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).​

Doesn't matter which browser I use - Chrome, Opera, Edge.

The old pages are accessible, at least in some form:

https://current.isu.org/figure-skating/events/grand-prix-of-figure-skating

(but Entries pdfs are not the most recent versions)
(for Skate America and Skate Canada International: links to 2024 event pages have been removed and links to 2025 event pages have been added at the bottom)​

https://current.isu.org/figure-skating/events/junior-grand-prix-of-figure-skating

https://current.isu.org/figure-skating/events/challenger-series​

But yes, when I am on https://isu-skating.com/figure-skating/, I get error messages when I try to click over to the corresponding new landing pages.

Yeah, I can access those pages but, honestly... The whole entire website is currently turning into an inaccessible mess.

 

[Karen-W]

Looks like they fixed whatever glitch was happening and the various new landing pages are now loading again.

I don’t get it, what’s wrong with the picture or profile

Last night the photo was Spencer Howe! Ok, which FSU'er reported this?

Lol, really? I’m back in LA I just watch the women’s free program. Now I’m watching the men’s, I only have two days here and then I’m off to Germany.

 

[Karen-W]

Apparently, the bio pics are changing again into... Well, there's lots of fun screen shots today all over Xwitter, lol.

I guess it only took a decade to forget Alexander Smirnov. But really how are they getting these pictures? Search engines? The John Crafoord one is technically correct, but he's not 12 years old anymore!

 

[Flanker]

I see it's the topic here. I still use old https://current.isu.org/ and I hope it will still work. The new design is terrible and trying to find more general things is a nightmare.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I have asked this once before, but on the new poorly designed website where in the world do we find the current updated world standings? On the iPad I can’t find the link for this at all.

Fyi, I am doing this on an iPad 9:

1. From www.isu.org, tap Fan Site Home of Skating
2. In the upper-right corner, tap the box with the 3 horizontal lines. Tap Figure Skating.
3. At the top, under the horizontal bar, tap RESULTS (between NEWS and EVENTS). Tap World Standings.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

This is not how it displays for me….

after I do step 2 there is no horizontal bar.. just a big video that goes… and down from that a scrolling photos of ISU championships and down from that top stories….

I get a different display than you…. What a meh website they have

Can u send me the link? TY

I have the video and photos, too, but also the links. It sounds like something may be blocking the ISU links on the page.

Adam Rippon addresses the ISU directly in today's episode of The Runthrough podcast ("In this truly unhinged episode Adam is all alone and takes on the ISU website. He talks about website formatting in Switzerland, [as well as headshot photos ] ...") - link to listen is here: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...t-with-adam-ashley.110589/page-4#post-6696884

They need to hire @Server Guy . Or at least quit finding random folks on Fiverr.

She's facing several more years of being stuck at the top of the junior scene. Taking up ice dance with a quick-gro clone isn't the worst way to stop getting bored.

They are now featuring also National Championships in the Event calendar page.
Well, some of them:
Great Britain
Australia
4 Nationals split in 4 pages
Russia
Japan

I recently noticed that, too.

The World Standings page and Statistics page look the same as on the old version of the ISU site, but the new URLs start with "current.isu.org" instead of just "isu.org"

I tried to access the ISU Constitution (via the "Sports Rules" link at the bottom of https://isu.org/) today as well as the World Standings and Statistics pages in the drop down menu under "Results" but the current.isu.org links are not working for me : https://isu-skating.com/figure-skating/

Fortunately all the direct links to the Senior & Junior CTES work in post #1: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...ment-scores-ctes-and-multiple-entries.111935/
