US Figure Skating 2023 National Qualifying Series Schedule
The 2023 National Qualifying Series (NQS) is a critical pathway for figure skaters who aspire to compete at the highest levels of the sport, featuring a myriad of competitions held across the United States. These events represent a stepping stone for athletes aiming for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. The 2023 NQS Schedule is packed with exciting opportunities for competitors to showcase their talent and dedication, as they navigate through this rigorous series of events.
After the National Qualifying Series, the top skaters move on to sectionals to see who will be able to compete in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. This event is the pinnacle of competition for figure skaters in the United States, and it is where national champions are crowned.
The U.S. Figure Skating Championships serve not only to determine the best skaters in the country, but also play a key role in determining the U.S. teams for international competitions. This includes events like the Four Continents Championships, World Junior Championships, and the World Championships. In Olympic years, performances at the U.S. Championships also play a significant role in the selection of the Olympic team.
