International Skating Union

The International Skating Union (ISU) is the international governing body for ice skating disciplines, including figure skating and speed skating. Based in Beijing, it plays a central role in the structure of competitive skating, helping coordinate events, rules, and the broader calendar that supports athletes and national federations around the world.

On Skate Terminal, the ISU appears as a community and organizer connected to skating events. Its presence reflects the scale of its influence: this is not a local rink or club, but the organization behind many of the sport’s most visible competitions and official pathways.

Visitors exploring the ISU on the web can expect a straightforward, sport-focused site centered on event information, competition coverage, and the administrative side of skating. The overall impression is formal and global, with a clear emphasis on structure, consistency, and the international skating community.
