The Grand Prix International St. Gervais (French: Grand Prix International de Patinage Artistique) was an annual figure skating competition organized by the French Federation of Ice Sports (French: Fédération française des sports de glace). It was held between 1967 and 1996 in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France, near Mont Blanc in the French Alps. For many years, it was paired with the Nebelhorn Trophy in Germany as part of the Coupe des Alpes, since many of the same competitors attended both events.
Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance, although not every discipline was necessarily held every year.
History
The first edition of the Grand Prix International St. Gervais was held in 1967 in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France,[1] a commune in the Haute-Savoie department of southeastern France. It sits in the shadow of Mont Blanc in the French Alps. For many years, the Grand Prix International was paired with the Nebelhorn Trophy – a skating competition in Oberstdorf, Germany – to form the Coupe des Alpes, with many of the same skaters participating in both events.[1] A team trophy was occasionally presented to the country with the highest combined placements across both competitions.[2][3]
The last edition of the Grand Prix International St. Gervais was held in 1996.[4] In 1997, the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP) – then called the Junior Series – was established by the International Skating Union as a series of international skating competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters.[5] France hosted one of the inaugural events in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains.[6] Subsequent competitions were held in 1998,[7] 2000,[8] and 2016.[9]
