“2010 U.S. Figure Skating Championships”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The 2010 U.S. Figure Skating Championships were a national championship to determine the national rankings of the United States in the 2009–10 figure skating season. The event was among the criteria used to select the U.S. teams for the 2010 World, World Junior, Four Continents Championships, and the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Skaters competed in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice. Medals were awarded in four colors: gold (first), silver (second), bronze (third), and pewter (fourth).

Organized by U.S. Figure Skating with AT&T as the title sponsor, the 2010 Championships took place between January 14 and 24 at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena in Spokane, Washington.

The Olympics were to begin 18 days after the end of the U.S. Championships. The senior-level Championship events were therefore spread out over two weekends to allow the skaters approximately four weeks between the end of their event and the start of the corresponding Olympic competition.^[1]

Olympic team selection

The results of the 2010 U.S. Championships were among the criteria used to determine the 2010 Olympic team. The competitions used in the selection process were, in order of priority:^[2]

The United States had qualified 3 Olympic spots in men's singles and ice dancing and 2 Olympic spots in ladies singles and pair skating.^[3] The entrants are nominated by U.S. Figure Skating and must be confirmed by the United States Olympic Committee.^[2]

The nominees in each discipline were announced following the completion of that discipline's competition. The pairs entrants were nominated on January 16, the men on January 17, and the ladies and ice dancers on January 23.^[2]

Qualification

Qualification for the U.S. Championships began at one of nine regional competitions: New England, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Upper Great Lakes, Eastern Great Lakes, Southwestern, Northwest Pacific, Central Pacific, and Southwest Pacific. The top four finishers in each regional competition advanced to one of three sectional competitions: Eastern, Midwestern, and Pacific Coast. Skaters who placed in the top four at the sectional competitions advanced to the U.S. Championships.

Byes to the competition^[4] were given to skaters who had won medals at the 2006 Winter Olympics or the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships; to the top five finishers in each senior-level discipline at the 2009 U.S. Figure Skating Championships; to any skaters who qualified for the 2009–10 Junior or Senior Grand Prix Final in the discipline in which they qualified; and to any skater who was assigned to an international event that occurred at the same time as their sectional championship.
