The European Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition in which figure skaters compete for the title of European champion. Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. The event is sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU) and is the sport's oldest competition. Only skaters from ISU member countries in Europe are eligible to compete.
Ulrich Salchow of Sweden currently hold the record for the most gold medals won in men's singles (at nine), while Irina Slutskaya of Russia holds the record for the most gold medals won in women's singles (at seven). Irina Rodnina and Alexander Zaitsev from the Soviet Union hold the record for the most gold medals in pair skating (at seven), while Rodnina won another four gold medals with her previous partner Alexei Ulanov and thus holds the record for the most gold medals won by a skater in pair skating (at eleven). Lyudmila Pakhomova and Aleksandr Gorshkov, also from the Soviet Union, hold the record for the most gold medals won in ice dance (at six).
Men's singles
[edit]The first European Championships were held in 1891 in Hamburg, Germany, and featured one segment, compulsory figures.[1] The 1893 European Championships were the first time the event was held under the jurisdiction of the International Skating Union (ISU), which was formed in the summer of 1892.[2]
Ulrich Salchow from Sweden has won the most gold medals in the men's singles (at nine).[3] The record for most back-to-back titles is held by Austrian Karl Schäfer with eight gold medals.[4] Salchow and Schäfer also share the record for the most total medals won with Brian Joubert from France and Evgeni Plushenko from Russia (with ten medals each).[4] Four skaters also share the record for the most silver medals won (with four): Gustav Hügel from Austria; Alain Giletti from France; and Vladimir Kovalyov and Vladimir Kotin, both from the Soviet Union.[4] Three skaters share the record for the most bronze medals won (with four each): Karol Divín from Czechoslovakia, Vyacheslav Zahorodnyuk, who completed for the Soviet Union and then Ukraine, and Brian Joubert from France.[4]

Pairs
[edit]The first pair skating event was held in 1930 in Vienna, Austria. The first combined European Championships for men, women, and pairs took place in 1932 in Paris, France.

Due to missing at the 1979 European Championships in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, Rodnina and Zaitsev shares the record for the longest winning streak at back-to-back events with Marika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Bäumler from West Germany (with six victories each). Irina Rodnina won another four gold medals with her previous partner Alexei Ulanov and was undefeated at eleven European Championships in a row. The record for total medals won is shared by two pairs (eight each): Ludmila Belousova and Oleg Protopopov from the Soviet Union, and Maria Petrova and Alexei Tikhonov from Russia, while Rodnina holds the record for the most total medals won by a skater in pairs (eleven). Belousova and Protopopov also share the record for the most silver medals won with Marianna and László Nagy from Hungary (with four each), while Aljona Savchenko from Germany won five silver medals but with different partners. The record for the most bronze medals is held by Sarah Abitbol and Stéphane Bernadis from France (five). Franz Ningel from West Germany also won five bronze medals, but with different partners.
