This section could be helped out by providing sources:

Fall international competitions such as Skate America, organized by the skating federations of their host countries, had been held for many years prior to their organization into a series. Following the Nancy Kerrigan attack in 1994, television coverage of skating was saturated with made-for-TV professional skating events, while the traditional "amateur" or "eligible" competitions were neglected. In order to remedy this situation, in 1995, the federations from the United States, Canada, Germany, France, and Japan began to plan their events as a series with cooperative marketing of the television rights in those countries, and prize money funded by the sale of those rights. At this point, the International Skating Union stepped in and asserted its ownership of the international television rights to the series.

See Beverly Smith's book, A Year in Figure Skating -- that year being 1995-96, so she goes into quite a bit of detail about how the then brand-new Champions Series came about. Dr.frog 23:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bit late for a reply, but here goes. The idea would be to insert such a table at the end of the article. I would need to fill this one in and do the same for ladies, pairs, and ice dance. Then possibly an overall gold medal table by country/by skater. I'll try and get round to it myself but any input would be appreciated. It also seems rather slow going to do it manually, so if anybody knows a way to automate it... Lansonyte (talk) 23:45, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

† From 1995 to 2002, this spot on the Grand Prix calendar was filled by the German Cup on Ice (which went by several different names in succession). The Cup of China replaced it on the circuit in 2003 and has held that spot ever since, with the exception of 2018, when the Cup of China did not take place; its spot on the calendar was filled that year by the 2018 Grand Prix of Helsinki. The names of the medalists in this table reflect the winners of those respective events for the years that the Cup of China was not held.

‡ Previously known as the Trophée de France (1995, 2016), Trophée Lalique (1996–2003), and Trophée Éric Bompard (2004–2015).

‡‡ Known since 2009 as the Rostelecom Cup for commercial purposes.

Well, that's that for the moment. Not sure what to do about pairs and ID: tables would be much too wide. Lansonyte (talk) 22:43, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]


This then opens up the possibility for this sort of table:

Golds #
1. Russia Irina Slutskaya* 17
2. Japan Mao Asada 15
3. United States Michelle Kwan* 13
4. Russia Maria Butyrskaya* 10
South Korea Yuna Kim
6. Russia Evgenia Medvedeva 7
7. United States Sasha Cohen* 6
8. Japan Miki Ando 5
Italy Carolina Kostner
Canada Joannie Rochette
Russia Elizaveta Tuktamysheva
United States Ashley Wagner
Russia Alina Zagitova

Only skaters with five titles or more are shown here. Bold denotes active skater. * indicates that skater at least once participated in three Grand Prix events within a single season, the Grand Prix Final not included. Lansonyte (talk) 23:19, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And here for the men:

Golds #
1. Russia Evgeni Plushenko* 22
2. Canada Patrick Chan 14
Russia Alexei Yagudin*
4. Japan Yuzuru Hanyu 10
5. Japan Daisuke Takahashi 9

In terms of presentation, this is sort of my model. So I'm thinking, at least for pairs and dance, inputting just the surnames in order to get the damn thing to fit, and if need be lowering font size. Of course I realise all this is only the golds, but I really don't see how to get silvers and bronzes in. Lansonyte (talk) 23:47, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
