The 2019 ISU Shanghai Trophy, featuring short-track speedskating, figure skating and synchronized skating, will be held at Pudong鈥檚 Oriental Sports Center from October 3 to 5, organizers announced.
First held in 2016, the Shanghai Trophy is the first tournament that the International Skating Union has named after a city. It鈥檚 also an event where both Winter Olympic Games and non-Winter Olympics competitions are held at the same time.
The short-track speedskating disciplines set for this year鈥檚 tournament are the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 1,000 meters, men鈥檚 5,000, women鈥檚 3,000 and 2,000 mixed relay. The figure-skating events will see men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 singles, pairs and ice dance, as well as synchronized skating.
This year鈥檚 Shanghai Trophy has been scheduled at the beginning of a new skating season, which means that figure skaters and teams will bring brand new programs which they will keep practicing and performing for the rest of the season. Short-track speedskaters will also be in their best condition in terms of stamina when they take part in competitions in Shanghai.
According to the organizers, star figure skaters like Japan鈥檚 Yuzuru Hanyu, Nathan Chen from the United States and 2018 Winter Games gold and silver medalists Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva of Russia have all been invited.
Chinese pair Sui Wenjing and Han Cong have confirmed their participation for the Shanghai event. China鈥檚 first synchronized skating team will also make its debut at the world-class competitions in the city.
Ticket sales for the 2019 ISU Shanghai Trophy will kick off later in July.
