The
ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP) was established by the
International Skating Union (ISU) in 1997 and consists of a series of seven international
figure skating competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. The locations of the Junior Grand Prix events change every year. While all seven competitions feature the men's, women's, and ice dance events, only four competitions each season feature the pairs event. Skaters earn points based on their results each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are then invited to compete at the
Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. Skaters are eligible to compete on the junior-level circuit if they are at least 13 years old before 1 July of the respective season, but not yet 19 (for
single skaters), 21 (for men and women in
ice dance and women in
pair skating), or 23 (for men in pair skating). Competitors are chosen by their respective skating federations. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member nation in each discipline is determined by their results at the prior
World Junior Figure Skating Championships. Poland hosted its first Junior Grand Prix competition in 2000 in
Gdańsk.
Ryan Bradley of the United States won the men's event,
Anna Jurkiewicz of Poland won the women's event,
Julia Karbovskaya and
Sergei Slavnov of Russia won the pairs event, and
Elena Romanovskaya and
Alexander Grachev, also of Russia, won the ice dance event. The Croatian Skating Federation was scheduled to host the fifth event of the
2022 Junior Grand Prix Series in
Zagreb, but cancelled the event for "logistical reasons." The
French Federation of Ice Sports had originally volunteered to host a replacement event in
Grenoble; however, it, too, was cancelled. The event was reallocated to Poland, where the Polish Figure Skating Association was already scheduled to host the fifth 2022 Junior Grand Prix competition in Gdańsk. Thus, two Junior Grand Prix competitions were held back-to-back at the
Hala Olivia in Gdańsk. == Medalists ==
