The Russian Challenge tournament will be held in the capital again.

Unlike traditional competitions, the Russian Challenge frees skaters from the strict requirements of mandatory technical elements. The focus here is on artistry, originality of concept, and the ability to create a story on the ice, turning a three-minute routine into a miniature spectacle. Competitors prepare routines specifically for this tournament, ensuring each program is unique and innovative. Choreography, music, costumes, and acting all come to the forefront, showcasing the diverse talents of each skater.

Performances are judged by a distinguished jury, comprised not only of sports officials but also of prominent figures in culture and art: renowned choreographers, ballet dancers, and show business stars. This approach emphasizes the creative focus of this tournament.

The CSKA Arena, one of the most modern and technologically advanced venues in Moscow, is ideally suited to host an event of this caliber. Excellent infrastructure and professional lighting and sound equipment create an atmosphere of complete immersion in the action on the ice, ensuring comfort for thousands of spectators.

The Russian Challenge tournament is a true celebration for all figure skating fans, where athletic competition combines inspiration and creativity. This is an opportunity to see your favorite athletes in unexpected roles and witness the creation of unique works of ice art that may never be repeated.
