ISU Challenger Series - 2024-2025 - #1, 2 & 3 began in August 2024 with Cranberry Cup Int'l

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

OTTAWA, ON (August 29, 2024) – Canadian figure skaters across all four disciplines are set to start their 2024-2025 competitive season this September at two ISU Challenger Series events.

The Nebelhorn Trophy which will take place in Oberstdorf, Germany from September 19-21, 2024 will see reigning pairs World Champions Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps debut their new programs alongside Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud who won gold at the Grand Prix de France in 2023.
