Medals are awarded in men's and women's singles at the senior and junior levels, although each discipline may not necessarily be held every year due to a lack of participants. Gheorghe Chiper of Romania holds the record for winning the most Crystal Skate titles in men's singles (with five), while Roxana Luca and Julia Sauter, also of Romania, are tied for winning the most Crystal Skate titles in women's singles (with three each).
