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 (Ukrainian: Українська федерація фігурного катання на ковзанах) 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. 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.[2]

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. Vitaliy Danylchenko and Anton Kovalevski are currently tied for winning the most Ukrainian Championship titles in men's singles (with five each), while Olena Liashenko holds the record in women's singles (with seven). Tatiana Volosozhar and Stanislav Morozov hold the record in pair skating (with four), although Morozov won an additional three championship titles with other partners. Two teams are tied for winning the most titles in ice dance (with six each): Oleksandra Nazarova and Maksym Nikitin, and Irina Romanova and Igor Yaroshenko.

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.[3] Ice rinks in Kharkiv, Sievierodonetsk, Druzhkivka, Mariupol, and Dnipro have been damaged or destroyed by Russian missiles.[4][5][6] 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."[3]

The 2026 Ukrainian Junior Championships are scheduled to be held from 17 to 20 March in Kyiv, while the 2026 Ukrainian Senior Championships are scheduled from 16 to 19 April in Bohuslav.[7]
