Grand Prix de France (figure skating)
The Trophée de France is an international, senior-level figure skating competition held as part of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series. It was known as the Grand Prix International de Paris from 1987 through 1993, the Trophée de France from 1994 through 1995, the Trophée Lalique from 1996 through 2003, and the Trophée Éric Bompard from 2004 through 2015. Medals are awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing. Organized by the French Federation of Ice Sports, the event is most often held in Paris but has also been hosted by three other cities – Albertville in 1991, Lyon in 1994, and Bordeaux in 1995, 2014, and 2015.
History
The competition was first held in 1987 in Paris as the Grand Prix International de Paris. In 1991, Albertville hosted it as a pre-Olympic event. In 1994, it took place in Lyon and became known as Trophée de France. It retained the name in 1995 when it was held in Bordeaux as part of the inaugural ISU Champions Series (Grand Prix series). In 1996, it returned to Paris and was renamed to reflect a sponsor, the glassware company Lalique.
The Éric Bompard company co-sponsored the event with Lalique from 1999 through 2003 before becoming the chief sponsor in 2004.[1] The competition's title was then changed to Trophée Éric Bompard.
The competition was held in Bordeaux in 2014 and 2015. In 2015, it was canceled after the first day of competition due to the November 2015 Paris attacks; the standings after the short segments were deemed the final results.[2]
In the summer of 2016, the Éric Bompard company decided to end its sponsorship after its questions to the French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG) received no response.[3] The event will return to Paris and the name Trophée de France in 2016.[4]
