The 2022 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships were held from January 18–23, 2022, at the Tondiraba Ice Hall in Tallinn, Estonia. Held annually since 1999 (except for 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), the competition featured skaters from the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance.
Tianjin, China was announced as the original host in October 2020.[1] The 2022 Four Continents Championships were one of several events cancelled by the Chinese Skating Association during the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon China's withdrawal as host on September 13, 2021, the International Skating Union asked for other non-European ISU members to apply as alternative hosts, with any relocation decision to be determined at the ISU Council meeting on October 1.[2] However, as no other qualified members chose to apply, the ISU asked the Estonian Skating Union, the host of the 2022 European Championships, to host the Four Continents Championships, resulting in the event having a European host for the first time.[3]
