The 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia was a figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the Italian Ice Sports Federation (Italian: Federazione Italiana Sport del Ghiaccio), and the third event of the 2021–22 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series. It was held at the Torino Palavela in Turin, Italy, from 5 to 7 November 2021. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earned points based on their results, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline at the end of the season were then invited to then compete at the 2021–22 Grand Prix Final in Osaka, Japan.

Yuma Kagiyama of Japan won the men's event, Anna Shcherbakova of Russia won the women's event, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong of China won the pairs event, and Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France won the ice dance event.[1]

Background

The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating is a series of seven events sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU) and held during the autumn: six qualifying events and the Grand Prix Final. This allows skaters to perfect their programs earlier in the season, as well as compete against the skaters with whom they will later compete at the World Championships.[2] This series also provides the viewing public with additional televised skating, which was in high demand.[2] Skaters earn points based on their results in their respective competitions and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to compete at the Grand Prix Final.[2]

The 2021 Cup of China, originally scheduled to be held in Chongqing, was cancelled due to travel and quarantine restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] In an attempt to preserve the Grand Prix series, the ISU asked other interested ISU members to apply as hosts. The Gran Premio d'Italia was announced as its replacement.[4] In addition to the successful bid from the Italian federation, the ISU also received applications from the Hungarian Skating Federation and U.S. Figure Skating.[4]

The ISU announced the preliminary list of entrants on 29 June 2021.[5] The Gran Premio d'Italia assignments were updated on 10 September; China's host spots were re-allocated to Italy. Subsequent withdrawals by Chinese skaters were also replaced by Italian skaters.
