Ukrainian Figure Skating Championships
Recurring figure skating competition From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ukrainian Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation to crown the national champions of Ukraine.[1] Following Ukraine's independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the first Ukrainian Championships were held in 1993 in Odesa, and they have been held without interruption since.

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. The results of the competition are among the criteria used to determine the Ukrainian entries to the World Figure Skating Championships, the World Junior Figure Skating Championships, the European Figure Skating Championships, and the Winter Olympics.
Vitaliy Danylchenko and Anton Kovalevski are currently tied for winning the most Ukrainian championships in men's singles (with five each),[2][3] while Olena Liashenko holds the record in women's singles (with seven)[4] and Tatiana Volosozhar holds the record in pair skating (with five, although those were not all won while competing with the same partner).[5][6] Irina Romanova and Igor Yaroshenko, and Oleksandra Nazarova and Maksym Nikitin, are tied for winning the most Ukrainian championships in ice dance (with six each).[7][8]
In 2014, the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation hosted an international event – the 2014 Ukrainian Open – which also served as Ukraine's national championships for that year.[9]
After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the usual training processes in Ukraine were disrupted. Additionally, Russian shelling of ice arenas made it impossible to safely conduct training and competitions, and Ukrainian skaters found themselves scattered across Europe while Ukraine was under siege.[10] Ice rinks in Kharkiv, Sievierodonetsk, Druzhkivka, and Mariupol have been damaged or destroyed by Russian missiles.[11][12] Planning and logistics for the Ukrainian Championships became more and more difficult, to the point where the 2023 Championships in Bohuslav were announced at the last minute and were poorly attended, described as "a very depressing event, the level of which [was] lower than the level of an average European children’s competition."[10]
