2001–02 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final
The 2001–02 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final was an elite figure skating competition held from December 13 to 16, 2001 at The Aud in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.The Grand Prix Final was the culminating event of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series, which at the time consisted of Skate America, Skate Canada International, Sparkassen Cup on Ice, Trophée Lalique, Cup of Russia, and NHK Trophy competitions.Ottavio Cinquanta envisioned that the skaters would perform two new free skating programs for the season at the final and this would appeal to and help attract viewers.Due to the failure of this plan, the second free skating/dance was eventually removed from the Grand Prix Final.All the medalists from the men's, ladies, and pairs' events would go on to medal at the 2002 Olympics.
