The 2013 Four Continents Championships is a senior international figure skating competition. It will be held from February 6–11, 2013, in Osaka, Japan, at the Osaka Municipal Central Gymnasium.
It is the youngest figure skating competition, held since 1999 for skaters from non-European countries: the event's name refers to the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, which are four of the continents represented in the Olympic rings, omitting Europe. Medals will be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.
A total of 86 skaters from 14 nations will participate at the 2013 Four Continents, including 24 in men's singles, 20 in ladies' singles, 8 pairs teams and 13 ice dance teams.
Three of four title winners of 2012 (Patrick Chan, Ashley Wagner, Wenjing Sui/Cong Han) will not compete this year.
