Season notes

edit

On September 26, 2011, American Brandon Mroz landed a quad Lutz in the short program at the 2011 Colorado Springs Invitational.[1][2] The U.S. Figure Skating-sanctioned competition was a small non-ISU event with three men's entries, making it unclear whether the accomplishment would be recognized by the International Skating Union.[2][3] In October, the ISU announced it had ratified the jump as the first quad Lutz to be performed in a sanctioned competition.[4] World Champion Patrick Chan of Canada commented, "I don't think it can be an official ISU record until [Mroz] has done it in an ISU event."[5] On November 12, Mroz landed it in the short program at 2011 NHK Trophy, becoming the first skater to land it in an international competition.[6]

Between seasons, the ISU sometimes adjusts elements' base values and/or grades of execution. On December 28, 2011, the ISU announced it had discovered that the calculation program had not been updated with a new GOE introduced in July.[7] The ISU explained: "The calculation program used up to and including the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final had erroneously calculated the Dance result with the previous Grade of Execution (GOE) for the Combination Lift, which was upgraded with ISU Communication 1677 in July 2011."[7] The error affected the free dance results at the Grand Prix Final, with Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir winning the segment instead of Meryl Davis and Charlie White, however, Davis and White remained in first place overall due to their lead from the short dance.[7]

In December 2011, the International Skating Union released details of the team figure skating event at the 2014 Winter Olympics.[8]

Age eligibility

edit

Skaters competing on the junior level were required to be at least 13 but not 19 – or 21 for male pair skaters and ice dancers – before July 1, 2011. Those who had turned 14 were eligible for the senior Grand Prix series and senior B internationals. Those who turned 15 before July 1, 2011 were also eligible for the senior World, European, and Four Continents Championships.

Date of birth Eligibility
Born before July 1, 1998 Eligible for Junior Grand Prix
Born before July 1, 1997 Eligible for senior Grand Prix series, senior B internationals
Born before July 1, 1996 Eligible for senior Worlds, Europeans, Four Continents
Born before July 1, 1992 Not eligible for junior events (except male pair skaters and ice dancers)
Born before July 1, 1990 Male pair skaters and ice dancers not eligible for junior events
Rules may not apply to non-ISU events such as national championships

Minimum scores

edit

Minimum score requirements were added to the senior Grand Prix series, following on requirements introduced in the previous season to the European, Four Continents, and World Championships. The Grand Prix minimums were set at two-thirds of the top scores at the 2011 World Championships. Prior to competing in a senior Grand Prix event, skaters were required to have earned the following:[9]

Discipline Minimum
Men 168.60
Ladies 117.48
Pairs 130.71
Ice dance 111.15
Skaters who had not earned the minimums
in the previous season could attempt to do so at:
2011 Nebelhorn Trophy
2011 Ondrej Nepela Memorial
2011 Finlandia Trophy
2011 Coupe de Nice
2011 Ice Challenge
2011 NRW Ice Dance Trophy.[9]

The International Skating Union decided minimums were not required for "host picks", i.e. Canadians Adriana DeSanctis and Elladj Balde were allowed to compete at their home country's event, 2011 Skate Canada, despite failing to reach the minimums at the 2011 Nebelhorn Trophy.
