European Figure Skating Championships

The European Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), awarding medals in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. The event has been held continuously since 1891, with the first championships featuring compulsory figures and held in Hamburg, Germany. Women's singles and pair skating were added in 1930, and ice dance in 1954. The competition has been restricted to eligible skaters from ISU member countries in Europe since 1948, after initially allowing members from outside Europe to participate.learn more on wikipedia
