South African Figure Skating Championships

Last updated

The South African Figure Skating Championships are held annually to determine the top skaters in South Africa. The event is organized by the South African Figure Skating Association. Skaters compete in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, ice dancing, and synchronized skating, however, not all disciplines have been held in every year due to a lack of competitors. The levels of competition are Juvenile through Senior, as well as age groups. South African nationals were first held in 1947.
