The 2024 Prevagen U.S. Figure Skating Championships has been nominated by the readers of SportsTravel as a finalist for the 2024 SportsTravel Award in the Best Amateur Sports Event category. Public voting is open through August 19, 2024.
Held from January 22-28 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, this year's event attracted over 60,000 attendees, showcasing the power, grace, and athleticism of figure skating. It was a monumental occasion, 26 years in the making, projected to generate $8 million in direct visitor spending for Columbus.
Beyond the economic impact, the event enriched the community with activities such as author talks by U.S. Olympians Gracie Gold and Nancy Kerrigan at the Columbus Metropolitan Library, free learn-to-skate sessions, and a DEI panel at The Lincoln Theatre aimed at promoting diversity and accessibility in figure skating.
