Six days. One arena. Four category tiers. One cup.
The Competition
ICEskatERA Open was created to give figure skaters, from Novice to Senior, a competition worthy of the effort they bring to the ice. Not the largest event in the calendar. One of the most considered.
The Athletes
The international field will be published once federation entries close.
Skaters from across the ISU membership are expected across the four disciplines, Women, Men, Pairs and Ice Dance, and across four category tiers, from Novice to Senior, plus Interclub.

The City
Toruń is Gothic brick, the Vistula, and the quiet of a city that has already lived a thousand years.
A UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, and one of the best-preserved medieval townscapes in northern Europe. Two hours from Warsaw, forty minutes from Bydgoszcz, small enough to walk, large enough to hold the sport for six days without noise.
