Lausanne, Switzerland, March 7, 2026: The International Skating Union (ISU) has announced that the world’s best skaters will be honoured for their achievements during the 2025/26 season through three special ISU Skating Awards ceremonies taking place in March.
While the Awards tradition began with Figure Skating in 2020, this year marks a milestone as Speed Skating and Short Track athletes will be recognised for the first time.
The ceremonies will take place successively on March 8 for Speed Skating in Heerenveen (NED), March 15 for Short Track in Montreal (CAN) and March 29 for Figure Skating in Prague (CZE).
Concluding a memorable ISU and Olympic season, the Awards will shine a spotlight on the standout performances, record-breaking moments and breakthrough talents that have defined the year on the ice.
ISU President Kim Jae-youl said: “Our skaters have delivered a phenomenal season, and it is wonderful to see them in the spotlight again as we celebrate their achievements in this Olympic year.
“As part of the ISU’s Vision 2030, the athletes are at the heart of everything the ISU does, and recognizing their dedication, talent and passion for our sports is a fitting way to bring this remarkable season to a close.”
