After six weeks of intense competition, the top six skaters in each discipline will now battle for the Grand Prix Final crown! The Junior and Senior Grand Prix Finals will both take place in Marseille, France, from December 8-11.
The last Challenger Series competition of the season, Golden Spin of Zagreb, will also take place this week and will feature an unusually deep field of several top skaters who did not qualify for the Grand Prix Final. Information on Golden Spin is available at the end of this post. This post will be updated with more information as it appears.
