Grand Slam (figure skating)

Grand Slam (GS) is a term used by fans of figure skating for the winning all three major annual senior-level international competitions (World Championships, Grand Prix Final, and European Championships or Four Continents Championships) within a single season within one of the four disciplines: men's singles, women's singles, pairs, and ice dance. Winning all three major annual senior-level international competitions at any point during the course of a career is called a "Career Grand Slam". In pair skating and ice dancing, one team may accomplish a Career Grand Slam skating together or one skater may achieve it with different partners.

History

edit
 
Alina Zagitova is the youngest figure skater to achieve a Super Slam by winning all the major junior-level and senior-level competitions, including the Olympics.

The first World Figure Skating Championships ("WC") was held in 1896.[1] The Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final ("GPF", formerly Champions Series Final) was inaugurated in 1995.[1] The European Figure Skating Championships ("EC"), open to skaters from European countries, first took place in 1891.[1] The International Skating Union (ISU) established the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships ("4CC") in 1999 to provide skaters representing non-European countries.[1] So the possibility of being the reigning champion of all three major annual senior-level international competitions (WC, GPF, and EC or 4CC) did not exist until the 1995–96 season.

Figure skating was first contested in the Olympic Games ("OG") in 1908.[1] The first World Junior Figure Skating Championships ("JWC") were held in 1976.[1] The Junior Grand Prix Final ("JGPF", formerly ISU Junior Series Final) was established in the 1997–98 season.[1] So the possibility of being the super reigning champion of both major junior-level international competitions (JWC and JGPF) and all four major senior-level international competitions (OG, WC, GPF, and EC or 4CC) did not exist until the 1997–98 season.

On 29 June 2011, a report by CNN used the term Grand Slam to figure skating to describe the achievement of winning the Grand Prix Final, the Four Continents Championships, and the World Championships.[2] On 1 April 2012, in a news report on the women's event of the 2012 World Figure Skating Championships by Sina Sports in the Chinese language, the term Grand Slam (大满贯) was used to describe the winning of the Grand Prix Final, the European Championships, and the World Championships.[3] On 11 December 2016, a news report by Sina Sports on the ice dance event of the 2016–17 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in the Chinese language used the term Super Slam (超级大满贯) to describe the achievement of winning the World Junior Championships, the Junior Grand Prix Final, the Four Continents Championships, the World Championships, the Grand Prix Final, and the Olympic Games.[4]

On 9 February 2020, a report by the International Skating Union (ISU) used the term Golden Slam to describe the achievement of winning all four major senior-level international competitions (Winter Olympics, World Championships, Grand Prix Final, and Four Continents Championships).[5] On the same day, a report by the Olympic Channel, which is operated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), used the term Super Slam to figure skating to describe the achievement of winning both major junior-level international competitions (JWC and JGPF) and all four major senior-level international competitions (OG, WC, GPF, and 4CC).[6]

Figure skating was first contested in the Olympic Games ("OG") in 1908.[1] Since 1924, the sport has been a part of the Winter Olympic Games.[1] The four disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pairs and ice dance also appeared as part of a team event for the first time at the 2014 Winter Olympics.[7][8]

Winning the gold medal at the Olympic Games in addition to the three major annual senior-level international competitions (WC, GPF, and EC or 4CC) within a single season is called a "Golden Grand Slam" or "Golden Slam".

Only one skater has completed the Golden Slam.
