General Information
Lifetime Competitor Recognition Program

The U.S. Adult Figure Skating Lifetime Competitor Recognition Program acknowledges adult figure skaters who have demonstrated sustained commitment to the sport through continued participation in the U.S. Adult Championships. The program defines the pinnacle of adult competitive achievement as the ability to participate throughout one’s lifetime and seeks to recognize individuals who train and compete in a manner that promotes long-term athletic wellbeing. The program’s objective is to foster a cultural shift within the adult skating community— encouraging skaters to prioritize long-term, health-focused goals over short-term ambitions that may elevate injury risk and hinder future involvement in the sport.

Complete details are available in the Adult Lifetime Competitor Recognition Program Guidelines.
