JUNIOR COMPETITION AT THE 2022 TOYOTA U.S. FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS BEGINS TUESDAY

The junior competition of the 2022 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships begins on Tuesday, Jan. 4 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Junior action will run Jan. 4-6, and will be followed by championship-level competition Jan. 6-9. Throughout the week, over 170 figure skaters will vie for eight U.S. titles in the disciplines of ladies, men’s, pairs and ice dance.

The U.S. Championships return to Nashville for just the second time, with the event first taking place at the newly opened Bridgestone Arena in in 1997. Nashville is home to

Olympic champion Scott Hamilton, who founded the Scott Hamilton Skating Academy, which highlights the strength and growth of the Nashville skating community. Official practice begins Monday, Jan. 3.

In conjunction with the Championships, nearly 150 athletes at the juvenile, intermediate and novice levels will descend on the National High Performance Development Team Camp, set for Jan. 10-12 in Bellevue, Tennessee. The athletes earned the right to attend the camp based on their placement in the 2022 U.S. Figure Skating Championship Series presented by Toyota. The camp features competitive group training, both on and off the ice, which rotates between instruction sessions and opportunities for athletes to showcase their best skills. Off-ice sessions will include specialty dance sessions, lifts, sports science, learning from officials, preparation for Team USA and unique performance sessions.

Additionally, the 2022 World Junior Figure Skating Team will be named following the conclusion of the World Junior Selection Camp, which will be hosted in conjunction with the National High Performance Development Team Camp Jan. 10-12 in Bellevue, Tennessee.
