2000–01 Japan Figure Skating Championships - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2000–01 Japan Figure Skating Championships were the 69th edition of the event. They were held on December 8–10, 2000 at the Big Hat arena in Nagano. National Champions were crowned in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. As well as crowning the national champions of Japan for the 2000–01 season, the results of this competition were used to help pick the teams for the 2001 World Championships and the 2001 Four Continents Championships.

Competition notes

The following skaters placed high enough at Junior Nationals and so were invited to compete at Nationals: Soshi Tanaka, Kazumi Kishimoto, and Kensuke Nakaniwa for men, and Akiko Suzuki, Utako Wakamatsu for ladies.
Yukari Nakano and Yuko Kawaguchi / Alexander Markuntsov did not compete due to a time conflict with the 2000–01 ISU Junior Grand Prix.

Japan Junior Figure Skating Championships

The 2000–01 Japan Junior Figure Skating Championships took place between November 25 and 26, 2000 at the Nagoya Rainbow Hall.

The following skaters placed high enough at Novice Nationals to be invited to compete here: Miki Ando (1st in novice, 3rd in junior) and Takahiko Kozuka (1st in novice, 18th in junior).

Although normally under the rules, a podium finish in the Ladies event on the Junior level would bring an invitation to compete at the senior level, twelve years old Miki Ando was not able to be invited due to her age and skating level.
