Figure skating competition
2023–24 figure skating season Date: July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024 Previous: 2022–23 Next: 2024–25
The 2023–24 figure skating season began on July 1, 2023, and ended on June 30, 2024. During this season, elite skaters competed at the ISU (International Skating Union) Championship level at the 2024 European Championships , Four Continents Championships , World Junior Championships , World Championships , and the Winter Youth Olympics . They also competed at elite events such as the ISU Challenger Series as well as the Grand Prix and Junior Grand Prix series , culminating at the Grand Prix Final .
On June 15, 2023, the International Skating Union announced that all figure skaters and officials from Russia and Belarus would remain banned from attending any international competitions.[ 1] [ 2]
Skaters are eligible to compete in ISU events at either junior or senior levels according to their age. These rules may not apply to non-ISU events such as national championships.
Age eligibility Level Date of birth Junior (females in all disciplines; males in singles) Born between July 1, 2004 & June 30, 2010 Junior (males in pairs & ice dance) Born between July 1, 2002 & June 30, 2010 Senior (all disciplines) Born before July 1, 2007
At the ISU Congress held in Phuket, Thailand , in June 2022, members of the ISU Council accepted a proposal to gradually increase the minimum age limit for senior competition to 17 years old beginning from the 2024–25 season. To avoid forcing skaters who had already competed in the senior category to return to juniors, the age limit remained unchanged during the 2022–23 season, before increasing to 16 years old during the 2023–24 season, and then will increase to 17 years old during the 2024–25 season.[ 3]
The date provided is the date when the change occurred or, if not available, the date when the change was announced.
