From Yekaterinburg to Omsk: November Stages of the Russian Grand Prix
The country’s leading figure skaters will compete in Yekaterinburg, which hosts the "Gold of the Urals" stage from November 6 to 9. A week later, from November 13 to 16, the series continues in Omsk with the "Heart of Siberia" tournament. For Yekaterinburg, this is a particularly significant milestone: it marks the first time the city has hosted a senior-level Russian Grand Prix event. The competition will take place at the UGMK Arena, with the program featuring singles skating and ice dance. While this format makes the event more compact, it remains just as compelling—offering a chance to watch skaters vie for ranking points and assess their form at the midpoint of the season.
The "Heart of Siberia" event in Omsk will feature a broader range of disciplines. At the G-Drive Arena, spectators will be able to watch all four categories: men’s and women’s singles, pairs, and ice dance. Consequently, the Omsk stage is ideal for those looking to get a comprehensive overview of the current season and compare the top competitors across various disciplines. By November, the series will be well underway. The initial stages provide athletes with an opportunity to test new programs, evaluate the difficulty of their elements, and identify areas for further improvement ahead of the season’s premier national championship.
For spectators, this makes November particularly exciting: the battle for rankings intensifies, and a single mistake—or a stellar performance—can significantly shift a skater’s standing within the series. When choosing between Yekaterinburg and Omsk, consider the format."Gold of the Urals" is a more compact event, focusing on singles skating and ice dance, while "Heart of Siberia" is a larger-scale tournament featuring all disciplines. Both offer a chance to see top Russian skaters in action ahead of the national championships and to experience the competitive atmosphere before the season reaches its climax in December. If you are planning a trip, it is best to check the daily schedule, the list of participants, and the available ticket categories in advance—interest in specific sessions is typically quite high.
