The 2021 Asian Open Figure Skating Trophy was held on October 13–17, 2021, in Beijing, China.[1] It was intended to be a 2021–22 ISU Challenger Series event. However, as only the men's and women's singles events featured international participants and the total number of ISU member nations represented at the event totalled nine, it did not meet the necessary criteria to qualify for Challenger Series status.[2] Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance.
In January 2021, the International Skating Union announced that the 2021 Asian Open Trophy would replace the 2020–21 Grand Prix Final as the designated international test event for the 2022 Winter Olympics.[3][4]
After a series of withdrawals by international participants, the 2021 Asian Open Trophy was unable to meet the minimum entry requirements to be classified as a Challenger event. The singles disciplines, which had competitors from multiple countries, were re-classified as regular international events, while the pairs and ice dance events featured only domestic competitors.[5]
