Croatian Figure Skating Championships

Recurring figure skating competition From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Croatian Figure Skating Championships (Croatian: Prvenstvo Hrvatske u umjetničkom klizanju) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Croatian Skating Federation (Croatian: Hrvatski klizački savez) to crown the national champions of Croatia. The secession of Slovenia and Croatia from Yugoslavia occurred in June 1991.[1] The first Croatian Championships held after their independence took place in Zagreb in March 1992.[2] Competitions often featured events in both figure skating and speed skating. Championships are currently held at the Klizalište Velesajam in Zagreb.[3]

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, and pair skating at the senior and junior levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. Many early Croatian skaters had been champions of Yugoslavia before Croatia's independence. Siblings Tomislav and Željka Čižmešija had each won multiple Yugoslav Figure Skating Championship titles before becoming Croatian champions.[4] Jari Kessler and Boris Martinec are tied for winning the most Croatian Championship titles in men's singles (with five each), while Mirna Librić holds the record in women's singles (with eight). Lana Petranović and Antonio Souza-Kordeiru hold the record in pair skating (with three); however, they are the only pairs team Croatia has had compete at the senior level.
