The ISU - Looking ahead to the 2019/2020 season and beyond; priorities

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.

One change for the Challenger Series next season will be the designation of only some of them to have pairs competition:
Based on the experience of the current season, the Council decided that for the ISU Challenger Series
season 2019/20 onwards, the Council will annually select only a limited number of events to include
Pair Skating, i.e. five of the ten Challenger Series competitions will have Pair Skating.
