Ice Challenge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ice Challenge is an annual international figure skating competition organized by the Austrian Figure Skating Association and sanctioned by the International Skating Union. It began in 1971 as the Leo-Scheu-Gedächtnislaufen and was retitled the Ice Challenge in 2008.[1] It is held every autumn in Graz, Austria. Skaters compete in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.

In 2011, the ISU designated the Ice Challenge as one of the events at which skaters may try to achieve a minimum score.[2]
