The ISU Junior World Championships 2020 takes place in Tallinn, capital of the small northeastern European state of Estonia (1.3 million people), which is very old but was part of the Soviet Union until 1991. One part of the population speaks Estonian which is a bit similar to the Finnish language, another part speaks Russian. Estonia is a member of NATO and the European Union, its currency is the Euro.

The 2020 Junior World Championships are held in Tallinn for the second time. Like in 2015 the competitions and the practice are organized in the Tondiraba Hall with four ice rinks under one roof which was built seven years ago. About 175 skaters from 43 countries will be participating. In order to be allowed to compete, all skaters needed some Technical Minimum Points in both of their programs which they could obtain at any other international Junior competition which is in the ISU calendar during this or the previous season. The medal winners in ladies and men will get a prize money of 10,000, 7,000 and 5,000 US-Dollars. In ice dance and pairs each couple with a medal will win 15,000, 10,000 and 7,000 US-Dollars. <more>
