OTTAWA, ON (November 18, 2024) – The sixth ISU Grand Prix event of the season takes place in Chongqing, China from November 22-24, 2024, and will see Canadian competitors in all four disciplines. The Cup of China will be the last stop on the series tour before qualifying athletes travel to France for the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in December.

Men’s National Champion, Wesley Chiu, will seek to improve both programs after finishing ninth at Skate America at the start of the circuit. In the women’s event, two-time National Champion, Madeline Schizas, will aim to skate into a podium position following a strong fifth-place finish at Skate Canada International (SCI).

In the ice dance competition, SCI silver medallists Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha will look to capture their second medal of the season and secure their spot in the Grand Prix Final. Pairs team Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud will apply lessons learned from the Grand Prix de France where they finished in fifth place.
