ISU Communication No. 2312

Notable news from the ISU Council:

1) Following a vote by ISU Members, the 2020 ISU Congress, previously scheduled for June 2020 in Phuket, Thailand, will be postponed to May/June 2021 at the same location. The deadlines for submission or amendment of proposals for the Congress have been extended.

2) The ISU will announce after their meeting on April 16 whether the 2020 World Championships will be completely cancelled or postponed to the fall of 2020. (According to knowledgeable sources, it is highly likely that the competition will be completely cancelled.) UPDATE: The 2020 World Championships have been definitively cancelled.

3) As the pandemic prevents skaters from training normally, the rhythm dance requirements for the 2020-21 season will remain the same as the 2019-20 season. “Slight changes” to the SOV, GOE and levels for various disciplines will be published in future ISU communications.

2020 World Championships in Montreal Cancelled

News roundup regarding the cancellation of the 2020 World Championships in Montreal. Please follow our twitter for real-time updates.

Skate Canada announcement:

With the uncertainty surrounding the spread of the COVID-19 virus, Skate Canada and the International Skating Union (ISU), were informed today by the Government of Quebec that they have cancelled the ISU World Figure Skating Championships® 2020. The event was scheduled to take place from March 16-22, 2020 in Montreal at Centre Bell.

Skate Canada and the International Skating Union (ISU) have closely monitored the provincial and federal health authorities position on the spread of the virus and fully respect the difficult decision made today.  Like the authorities, Skate Canada and the ISU are committed to the health and safety of the athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers and spectators.

Many stakeholders have been affected by the cancellation of the world championships, and Skate Canada and the ISU will be communicating directly with each group in the coming days. Any fan who has purchased tickets directly from the official ticket provider Evenko will receive details on the refund process in due course.

Skate Canada, in partnership with the local organizing committee, Patinage Quebec and all our partners, looked forward to hosting figure skating’s flagship event in Montreal. We thank you all for your efforts and commitment as we prepared to deliver a world-class event.

ISU announcement (excerpt):

Considering the current uncertain developments surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic, a rescheduling and/or relocation of the above-mentioned Championships within the current season, even if the season would be extended by several weeks after its normal end in early April, cannot be reasonably considered. During the coming weeks, the ISU will evaluate in cooperation with all stakeholders whether the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2020 could possibly be held later in the year, but in any case not before October 2020. Before taking a final decision, the ISU will remain in close contact with Skate Canada and ISU Members.

Evenko regarding ticket refunds:

Clients that purchased via http://evenko.ca or by phone will automatically receive a refund on the credit card used to make the purchase. Please note that refunds can take up to ten (10) business days depending on the financial institution.

Customers that purchased their tickets in person must return to the Bell Centre Box office to obtain their refund.

Thanks to all skaters for the 2019-2020 season, and thanks to our followers for their support! We wish everyone a safe and healthy off season.
