SYWTW FS
This post is an overview of the 2021 Challenger Series. We will make more detailed posts for each competition with viewing information.
The Challenger Series is a series of early-season competitions that give senior skaters the opportunity to compete before the Grand Prix. Challenger events give out prize money and higher ISU World Standing points than regular international competitions, as long as the requirements for level of judges and number of nations/skaters competing are met. Scores at Challenger competitions usually count for skaters’ season/personal bests. (See the Challenger Series announcement for more details).
