The Rostelecom Cup (Russian: Кубок Ростелекома), formerly the Cup of Russia (Russian: Кубок России), is an annual international figure skating competition held as part of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. Organized by the Figure Skating Federation of Russia, it was most frequently held in Moscow, with several editions held in Saint Petersburg and once in Sochi. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance.
The event adopted the name Rostelecom Cup in 2009 after its title sponsor. It was dropped in 2010,[1] but returned in 2011. The Rostelecom Cup is a successor to the Prize of Moscow News, an annual elite international event held in the Soviet Union from 1966 to 1990 (excluding 1989).
In April 2022, the ISU canceled the 2022 Rostelecom Cup, which was to have been held in Russia in November. This decision was made in response to the International Olympic Committee’s recommendation to ban Russia and Belarus from holding international athletic competitions until further notice, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The ISU again cancelled the event for 2023.
