Figure Skating Clubs[]

Figure skating clubs (FSC), are organizations usually led by a head coach and assistant coach. More coaches may also be employed the more figure skaters are in a club. Joining a FSC is generally a must in order to join a competition, but it also provides the skater with various benefits as well. FSCs generally operate within a single rink and often contract with them for blocks of time not open to the general public in order to facilitate a more effective training environment without distractions.[1]

Tournaments[]

Before the start of judging, competitors are allotted a warmup time to adjust to the feel of ice and warm-up. Within each tournament skaters are usually separated into brackets depending on the level of badge test they have completed. Each bracket are also separated into different groups so that the rink isn't too crowded during warm-up time. The order in which skaters are chosen to perform are generally decided using lots.[1]

Meikoh Cup[]

The Nagoya Port Cup (Japanese: 名古屋港杯 Nagoyakou-hai), commonly known as the Meikoh Cup (Japanese: 名港杯 Meikou-hai), is a famous local figure skating competition held annually in mid-summer at Howa Sportsland. The competition is divided by skill levels and allows skaters of varying abilities to participate.

All-Japan Novice Championship[]

The All-Japan Novice Championship (Japanese: 全日本ノビース大会 Zen-nihon Nobisu Taikai) is an annual national-level competition where the best skaters from all across Japan compete.

In an athlete's career, they may compete twice in the Novice B division and twice in the Novice A division, after which they will move onto the Junior class.

Prior to the All-Japan competition, regional qualifiers known as Block Tournaments are held throughout the country. There are six Block Tournaments in total: the Chubu Block, the Chugoku/Shikoku/Kyushu Block, the Kinki/Kansai Block, the Kanto Block, the Tohoku/Hokkaido Block, and the Tokyo Block. The number of skaters participating in and advancing from each Block Tournament varies. In the Chubu Block Tournament, where Inori competes, 15 skaters compete for the top 5 spots.

Some skaters who receive special recognition at training camps may be designated as seed athletes. These athletes are not required to participate in a Block Tournament to qualify for the All-Japan competition, though many still choose to do so to gain experience.

ISU Junior Grand Prix[]

The ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating is a series of international junior-level competitions organized by the International Skating Union. Medals are awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Skaters earn qualifying points at each Junior Grand Prix event and the six highest-ranking qualifiers meet at the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final, which is held concurrently with the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.[2]

A selection meet is held prior to the Junior Grand Prix on an invite-only basis by the Japan Skating Federation, where the participants representing Japan are determined.

Three years after beginning her skating journey, Inori is chosen to compete in the Junior Grand Prix and is assigned to the Thailand event. Joining her at the competition are Suzaku Hiyodori, Hayato Kamomeda, and Iruka Okazaki, the reigning champion of the previous Junior Grand Prix finals.
