History

The ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP) was established by the International Skating Union (ISU) in 1997 and consists of a series of seven international figure skating competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. The locations of the Junior Grand Prix events change every year. While all seven competitions feature the men's, women's, and ice dance events, only four competitions each season feature the pairs event. Skaters earn points based on their results each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are then invited to compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.^[1]

Skaters are eligible to compete on the junior-level circuit if they are at least 13 years old before July 1 of the respective season, and if they have not yet turned 19 (for single skaters, and females in ice dance and pair skating) or 21 (for males in ice dance and pair skating).^[1] Competitors are chosen by their respective skating federations. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member nation in each discipline is determined by their results at the prior World Junior Figure Skating Championships.^[2]

The Netherlands hosted its first Junior Grand Prix competition in 1999 in The Hague. Fedor Andreev of Canada won the men's event, Kristina Oblasova of Russia won the women's event, Amanda Magarian and Jered Guzman of the United States won the pairs event, and Natalia Romaniuta and Daniil Barantsev of Russia won the ice dance event.^[3]

The Netherlands hosted the 2002 Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final – the culminating event of the Junior Grand Prix series – in The Hague. Alexander Shubin of Russia won the men's event, Yukina Ota of Japan won the women's event, Ding Yang and Ren Zhongfei of China won the pairs event, and Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin of Russia won the ice dance event.^[4]

The Netherlands hosted two subsequent Junior Grand Prix events in The Hague in 2001 and 2006.^[5][6] The 2006 event was the competition's most recent iteration.
