ISU skater standings/rankings

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.

ISU skater standings/rankings

Post by Elizabeth »

From ISU Communication # 1629
During its recent meeting, the ISU Council decided to implement two types of World Standings/Ranking, namely
•the “ISU World Standings” which is taking into account results of the preceding two seasons and the current season and remains the basis for the draws at ISU Events and part of the criteria for the selection of competitors for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating and other ISU Events designated by the Council.
and
•the “ISU Season’s World Ranking” which is based on the results of the current ongoing season only. It has the main purpose to reflect the current competitive performances of the skaters and give the public and the media an indication of the current actual competitiveness of the skaters.

Compared to Communication No. 1460, specific changes have been applied in item C.1.6. for clarification and item C.4 (Distribution of points for ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships and ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final) which now reflect better the weight between all events valid for ISU World Standings /ISU Season’s World Ranking points.
Links to these can be found here: https://www.isu.org/figure-skating/entr ... /standings

Some samples - the top 10 World Standings by discipline:

The impacts of not participating in a GP, not making it to the GPF, etc. can be seen in some of these.
