Four Continents Championships

The Four Continents Figure Skating Championships is an annual competition that brings together top skaters from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania. It serves as a major event for non-European skaters to showcase their talent and compete at a high level, often serving as preparation for World Championships and the Olympics. The event includes men's singles, ladies' singles, pairs, and ice dance, and highlights the best of each continent's figure skating athletes. It fosters international rivalry and cultural exchange, promoting the sport globally outside Europe.
