Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent ban of Russian and Belarusian athletes from international figure skating competitions, the annually-held Rostelecom Cup was cancelled.[2][3] As such, the Grand Prix of Finland returned in 2022 (called the Grand Prix of Espoo) to serve as a replacement for the Rostelecom Cup.[4]
