Figure Skating World Championships postponed

15/3/2011

 
Following the catastrophic Japanese earthquake and tsunami, the International Skating Union has postponed the running of the 2011 Figure Skating World Championships, originally scheduled to take in Tokyo on March 21-27.

The ISU issued the following statement:

"Taking into account the continued critical developments in Japan, the ISU's primary concern for the safety of all participants, spectators and members of concerned entities as well as the travel advisories from many governments to avoid travel to Japan until the situation is settled, the ISU in consultation and agreement with the Japan Skating Federation (JSF) and in line with the advise of the Japanese authorities, has concluded that the staging of the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2011 scheduled to be held on March 21-27, 2011 is not possible and the Championships will not be held during that time. The postponement of the Event or alternatively the final cancellation is under evaluation."

"It is understood that a postponement of the above-mentioned World Championships is subject to the confirmation by the competent Japanese authorities that the situation is back to normal conditions allowing the safe conduct of major ISU sports Events in the Tokyo area."

The Australian team to compete in Tokyo includes:
Women - Cheltzie Lee
Men - Mark Webster
Ice Dance - Danielle O'Brien and Gregory Merriman
