On the 19th, the International Skating Union announced that the 4th round of the Grand Prix series, France, where figure skating players Shoma Uno and Rika Kihira were scheduled to participate, will be canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus.

For this season's Grand Prix series, which will be held in six countries, the International Skating Union will limit the players in each tournament to those in the host country and those practicing in that host country as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus. We announced the policy to implement it.



Of these, the fourth round of the French tournament was scheduled to be held in Grenoble from the 13th of next month, but the International Skating Union announced on the 19th that it will be canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus.



Uno, who won the silver medal in the Pyeongchang Olympic Men's Singles, and Kihira, who won the Grand Prix Final of Ototoshi (2018), were scheduled to participate in this tournament.



The Grand Prix series will be canceled for the second time this season, following the second round in Canada.
