List of national championships in figure skating

Last updated

Many countries hold national championships for figure skating. These events are conducted to determine the country's national champion and are most often held in December or January. National associations generally use these events as one of the criteria to select the teams for the European, Four Continents, World Junior, and World Championships, in conjunction with the ISU's minimum scores for entries and sometimes federation-announced criteria which may include other minimum scores, international results, and jump requirements.
