The 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard was a figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the French Federation of Ice Sports (French: Fédération française des sports de glace), and the fourth event of the 2015–16 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series. It was held at the Meriadeck Ice Rink in Bordeaux, France, on 13 November 2015. 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 2015–16 Grand Prix Final in Barcelona, Spain.

The competition was cancelled after the first day following the November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks. The ISU later announced that the short program results would be considered as the final results for the competition, and any prize money and qualifying points for the Grand Prix Final were distributed. Shoma Uno of Japan won the men's event, Gracie Gold of the United States won the women's event, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the pairs event, and Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue of the United States won the ice dance event.

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.[1] This series also provides the viewing public with additional televised skating, which was in high demand.[1] 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.[1]

The 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard was the fourth installment of the six qualifying Grand Prix events. The cashmere manufacturer Éric Bompard had been the principal sponsor of the Grand Prix de France since 2003, and the competition bore the company's name in recognition.[2]

Results

The 2015 Trophée Éric Bompard was cancelled after the first day following the November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks.[19] While the French Federation of Ice Sports had hoped to be able to continue the competition, Bernard Cazeneuve, Minister of the Interior, and Alain Juppé, mayor of Bordeaux, informed them that the competition must be cancelled due to France being in a state of emergency (French: état d'urgence).[19] All of the short programs had been completed on 13 November hours before the attacks began, but the free skating had been scheduled to be held the next day.[20] On 23 November, the ISU announced that the results of the short programs would be considered the final results for the competition, and any prize money and qualifying points for the Grand Prix Final were distributed.[21][22]
