Ice Challenge
The Ice Challenge is an annual international figure skating competition organized by the Grazer Eislaufverein and sanctioned by the Austrian Figure Skating association and the International Skating Union. The event is usually held every autumn in Graz, Austria. Medals may be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. In 2014 and 2015, the Ice Challenge's senior events were part of the ISU Challenger Series. In 2021, the Ice Challenge returned to the ISU Challenger Series.
History
The event began in 1971 as the Leo-Scheu-Gedächtnislaufen.[1] It was retitled the Ice Challenge in 2008.[2]
In 2011, the ISU designated the Ice Challenge as one of the events at which skaters could achieve a minimum score.[3] In 2014 and 2015, the Ice Challenge's senior events were part of the ISU Challenger Series. The 2016 edition was cancelled due to the rebuilding of the Merkur Eisstadion.[4] In 2017, the Ice Challenge was held as an international competition only in single skating.
In 2021, the Ice Challenge returned to the ISU Challenger Series.
