Two reigning world champions and two current U.S. champions — Gracie Gold and Adam Rippon — will headline the three-day team-style event beginning Friday in Spokane, Washington, which serves as an encore of sorts to the grand prix and world championship season, or maybe a chance for those who didn’t do as well as they’d hoped at the world championships earlier this month in Boston to cleanse the palate a little. However it unfolds, the event figures to be well received. Spokane has done nothing but set attendance records for skating events in the past, including an enduring standard of 158,170 for the U.S. championships in 2010. It pits three continents — North America, Europe and Asia — against one another in a team-scoring format involving all four skating disciplines: men’s, women’s, pairs and ice dance. Hence the Ryder Cup analogy, enhanced by the presence of non-skating team captains — Kristi Yamaguchi for North America, Christopher Dean for Europe and Shizuka Arakawa for Asia, Olympic gold medalists all. The participants were selected through a combination of placement in the world rankings and a fan vote, a la American all-star games.
