John Nicks Pairs Challenge

The John Nicks Pairs Challenge is an annual pairs figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU). It is organized and hosted by the Skating Club of New York and U.S. Figure Skating at the Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers in New York City, New York, in the United States. The competition debuted in 2021, and is named in honor of John Nicks, a retired British figure skater who worked as a figure skating coach in the United States for nearly four decades. In 2024, it became part of the Challenger Series. Medals are awarded in pair skating at the senior and junior levels; and as part of the Challenger Series, skaters earn World Standing points based on their results.
