Taiwan was originally set to host the 2019 Asian Open Figure Skating Classic Oct. 30-Nov. 3 at Taipei Arena.
However, CTSU announced late Tuesday it had received an emergency notification from the ISU the day before indicating that its right to host the event had been revoked, without giving an explanation.
