Overview

The Lake Placid Ice Dance Championships and International event takes place at the Olympic Center on July 27 through 29, 2022.

First held in 1933, this event is the world’s longest-running competitive ice dance competition. It’s also a U.S. Figure Skating National Qualifying Series (NQS) event in which athletes earn points to qualify for the 2023 U.S Figure Skating Championships. The three-day event features competitors from Azerbaijan, Canada, France, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, and Turkey and officials from Australia, Azerbaijan, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Israel, and Korea.

Notable skaters include the rising talent of U.S. ice dance couples, Molly Cesanek and Yehor Yhorov, and Lorraine McNamara and Anton Spiridonov. Notable past competitors include Olympic Champions Meryl Davis & Charlie White; Olympic Bronze Medalists Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue; World Silver Medalists Madison Chock and Evan Bates.

The Olympic Center is near the end of a significant modernization project with numerous changes since the Lake Placid Ice Dance Championships and International Competition were last hosted at this location in 2019. While some portions are still being renovated, spectators will enjoy significant upgrades such as new seating, modernized concession areas, hospitality suites, new restrooms, LED event and broadcast-quality lighting, and new air handling and dehumidification systems. This year’s ice is now maintained with two new electric Zambonis that deliver higher-quality ice with significant energy savings. By next year’s event, the modernizations will also give guests access to a grand new concourse with a greater range of retail, food, and beverage options for before and after games.
