As we faced one of the biggest challenges humankind has encountered in decades, the International Skating Union (ISU)’s campaign #UpAgain, launched in November 2019, took a greater meaning. It is an emotional and inspiring campaign based on one simple principle: we must overcome life’s challenges to achieve our full potential. Through this campaign, the ISU aims to encourage people to stay strong, to support each other in creative and mindful ways and together we will get #UpAgain. Find out more about the initiatives by visiting the #UpAgain page, which also includes Keep Training Series, tips from the athletes themselves on training, cooking and more as well as live streams.
