The calendar


The ISU has posted their informational press release about this season's GP events: https://www.isu.org/isu-news/news/125-g ... eParam=15
The press release provides an overview of the series and the competitors by discipline.

On that page there are links to the entries, by discipline, for GP series events - I have copied them below but, as we all know, these can change several times before the events actually take place

I have chosen to put this as a separate thread for each of reference.
