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 1 July, and if they have not yet turned 19 (for single skaters), 21 (for ice dancers and female pair skaters), or 23 (for male pair skaters). Competitors are chosen by their respective skating federations rather than by the ISU. 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]

Timothy Goebel of the United States and Julia Soldatova of Russia, the men's and women's champions at the inaugural Junior Series Final in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Switzerland hosted the very first Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, the culminating event of the Junior Grand Prix series, in 1997 in Lausanne. Timothy Goebel of the United States won the men's event,^[3] and also became the first skater in the world to successfully perform a quadruple Salchow jump in competition,^[4] and the first American skater to land a quadruple jump of any kind in competition.^[5] Julia Soldatova of Russia won the women's event, Julia Obertas and Dmytro Palamarchuk of Ukraine won the pairs event, and Federica Faiella and Luciano Milo of Italy won the ice dance event.^[3]

At the 2002 Junior Grand Prix Final, Miki Ando of Japan became the first woman to land a quadruple jump in competition, (a quadruple Salchow). In the 2008–09 season, the JGP Final was organized together with its senior-level complement, the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, for the first time.

China was scheduled to host the 2020 Junior Grand Prix Final in Beijing, but the ISU cancelled all scheduled Junior Grand Prix events for the 2020–21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, citing increased travel and entry requirements between countries and potentially excessive sanitary and health care costs for those hosting competitions.^[6]

The 2025 Junior Grand Prix Final is scheduled to be held December 4–7 in Nagoya, Japan.^[7]
