The 2022 MK John Wilson Trophy was a figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by British Ice Skating, and the fourth event of the 2022–23 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series. It was held at IceSheffield in Sheffield, England, in the United Kingdom, from 11 to 13 November 2022.[1] Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earned points based on their results, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline at the end of the season were then invited to then compete at the 2022–23 Grand Prix Final in Turin, Italy.[1]
Daniel Grassl of Italy won the men's event, Mai Mihara of Japan won the women's event, Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier of the United States won the pairs event, and Charlène Guignard and Marco Fabbri of Italy won the ice dance event.[2]

Background

Perspective
The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating is a series of seven events sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU) and held during the autumn: six qualifying events and the Grand Prix Final. This allows skaters to perfect their programs earlier in the season, as well as compete against the skaters with whom they will later compete at the World Championships.[3] This series also provides the viewing public with additional televised skating, which was in high demand.[3] Skaters earn points based on their results in their respective competitions and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to compete at the Grand Prix Final.[3]
On 21 July 2022, the ISU announced the cancellation of the 2022 Cup of China due to China's ongoing travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] The MK John Wilson Trophy was selected as its replacement.[1] This was the first time that the United Kingdom had hosted a Grand Prix event. Martin Smith, Chair of the Economic Development and Skills Committee of the Sheffield City Council, stated: "Hosting this prestigious international skating series event is really exciting for Sheffield and the UK. We can’t wait to welcome the world’s top figure skaters and their fans from across the globe to show them what our amazing city has to offer."[1]
