The 2016 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships will be a senior international figure skating competition in the 2015–16 season. Skaters will compete in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing for the title of Four Continents Champion. The event's name refers to the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, which are four of the continents represented in the Olympic rings, omitting Europe.
The competition will be held in February 2016 in Taipei, Chinese Taipei.[1]
