Four Continents skating set for Europe debut in Estonia

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The Four Continents Championships for figure skaters from outside Europe will be held in Europe for the first time after Estonia stepped in as a replacement host for China. The International Skating Union says the competition is scheduled to run from Jan. 18-23 in the Estonian capital, Tallinn. The championships were originally meant to be in the Chinese city of Tianjin as a warmup for the Olympics in Beijing the following month. It will be the first Four Continents since the coronavirus pandemic began.
