The Ice Star (also known as the Minsk-Arena Ice Star) is an annual international figure skating competition held in Minsk, Belarus. In some years, the event was part of the ISU Challenger Series. Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels.
On March 1, 2022, in accordance with a recommendation by the International Olympic Committee, the International Skating Union (ISU) banned figure skaters and officials from Russia and Belarus from attending all international competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1] Likewise, all international competitions in Russia and Belarus were dropped from the ISU schedule.
