On August 16, 2021, the International Skating Union announced the cancellation of Cup of China, citing the limited number of international flights to China and strict COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.[1] In an attempt to preserve the Grand Prix series, the ISU asked for other ISU members to apply as hosts on the originally scheduled dates. On August 27, the ISU announced the Gran Premio d'Italia as the replacement event.[2]
