ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2011
24 Mar 2011 11:48
In its statement of March 21, 2011 the ISU communicated the decision of the
Japan Skating Federation (JSF) to decline holding the ISU World Figure
Skating Championships 2011, initially allotted to the JSF and scheduled to be
held in Tokyo, Japan this week.
In the meantime, the ISU has received applications to hold the Event during
the months of April or May of this year from its Member federations in
Austria (Graz), Canada (Vancouver), Croatia (Zagreb), Finland (Turku), Russia
(Moscow) and USA (Colorado Springs or Lake Placid).
The ISU thanks those Member federations for their spontaneous reaction during
these truly dramatic and exceptional circumstances emanating from the crisis
in Japan and highly appreciates their efforts for having prepared an
application on such short notice. The ISU reiterates that in the light of the
dramatic situation in Japan the staging of sporting events becomes relatively
secondary and a solution satisfying all involved is extremely difficult.
Nevertheless, it is in the best interest of the ISU and its Members to hold
the Championships as soon as possible.
The ISU has reviewed all applications received and after careful evaluation
the ISU Council decided to allot the Championships to the Figure Skating
Federation of Russia, to be held in the Megasport Arena in Moscow/Russia, on
April 24-May 1, 2011.
The organization of this major Event with little time to prepare will require
a high level effort from the Figure Skating Federation of Russia which has
assured the ISU of its full cooperation including in areas such as easy
access to entry visas and security. The preparation for the updating of all
relevant details (time schedule, Announcement, entry confirmations etc) have
already begun and the ISU will revert as soon as possible with the necessary
information.
Under these extraordinary circumstances the ISU asks for the full cooperation
and understanding of the skating community and all involved entities in
making this a successful Event. The full cooperation of all participating ISU
Member federations hopefully attending in full strength will be of utmost
importance.
Finally, the ISU is convinced that the Japanese delegation coming to Moscow
deserves and will receive special attention and respect. At a time like this,
words cannot express feelings but the ISU wants to let the skating friends of
the Japan Skating Federation and the people of Japan know that the thoughts
and wishes of the Skating family continue to remain with them.
