Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of modifications were made to the Grand Prix structure. The competitors consisted only of skaters from the home country, skaters already training in the host nation, and skaters assigned to that event for geographic reasons.[1] However, the event became controversial after apparent COVID-19 spread among attendees led to suggestions that it had been a superspreading event.[2]
