United States is due to host its first Four Continents Figure Skating Championships in seven years when Anaheim plays host in February.

The International Skating Union-organised event is due to be held at the Honda Center which also houses National Hockey League side the Anaheim Ducks.

Action is due to take place from February 7 to 10 next year. 

Singles, pairs and ice dancing are due to take place, featuring skaters from the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania - but not Europe.

The home team from the US is due to be named after the National Championships in Detroit from January 19 to 27.

Colorado Springs played host to the last Four Continents Championships in United States to follow previous events there in 2006, 2007 and 2011.

The event has been held annually since 1999.

Americans Tarah Kayne and Danny O'Shea won the pairs title at this year's event held in Taipei and team-mates Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker triumphed in the ice dance competition.
