Junior Figure Skating

Junior figure skating is a competitive discipline for young skaters typically aged 13 to 19, serving as a stepping stone to senior-level competitions. It involves performing technically challenging jumps, spins, and footwork, often in both short and free skating programs. Skaters are judged on their technical skills, artistic expression, and overall presentation, adhering to rules set by organizations like the International Skating Union (ISU). Junior competitions help young athletes develop their skills, gain competitive experience, and prepare for higher-level events, fostering their growth as professional or elite skaters.
