Slovenian Figure Skating Championships
Recurring figure skating competition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Slovenian Figure Skating Championships (Slovene: Prvenstvo Slovenije v umetnostnem drsanju) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Slovene Skating Union (Slovene: Zveza drsalnih športov Slovenije) to crown the national champions of Slovenia.[1] Slovenia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in June 1991.[2] The Slovene Skating Union was established in December 1991 as a federation of Slovenia's four skating clubs (Celje, Stanko Bloudek, Olimpija Ljubljana, and Jesenice),[3][4] while a fifth skating club (Labod Bled) was later established.[5] The first national skating championships of the newly independent Slovenia were held in 1992 in Celje.[6] Early on, responsibility for hosting the national championships rotated between three cities: Celje, Ljubljana, and Jesenice.[6] They have been held without interruption since their inception.

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. Gregor Urbas holds the record for winning the most Slovenian Championship titles in men's singles (with ten), while Daša Grm holds the record in women's singles (with nine).
