French Figure Skating Championships
Recurring national figure skating competition From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The French Figure Skating Championships (French: Championnat de France Elite) are held annually to crown the national champions of France. Skaters compete in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels. The event is organized by the French Federation of Ice Sports, the sport's national governing body. The competition's results are among the criteria used to determine the teams to the World Championships, World Junior Championships, European Championships, and Winter Olympics.
