European Figure Skating Championships cumulative medal count

Home Page | European Figure Skating Championships cumulative medal count

The European Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union in which skaters compete for the title of European champion. Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Launched in 1891, the European Championships are the sport's oldest competition. Only eligible skaters from ISU member countries in Europe are allowed to compete, while skaters from countries outside of Europe instead compete in the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships.

Men's singles

The first European Championships were held in 1891 in Hamburg, Germany, and featured one segment, compulsory figures. The event was sponsored by the Austrian and German skating federations after they had combined to become one federation. The 1893 European Championships were the first time the event was held under the jurisdiction of the International Skating Union (ISU), which was formed in the summer of 1892.

Ulrich Salchow from Sweden has won the most gold medals in the men's singles (at nine). The record for most back-to-back titles is held by Austrian Karl Schäfer with eight gold medals. Salchow and Schäfer also share the record for the most total medals won with Brian Joubert from France and Evgeni Plushenko from Russia (with ten medals each). Four skaters also share the record for the most silver medals won (with four): Gustav Hügel from Austria; Alain Giletti from France; and Vladimir Kovalyov and Vladimir Kotin, both from the Soviet Union. Three skaters share the record for the most bronze medals won (with four each): Karol Divín from Czechoslovakia, Vyacheslav Zahorodnyuk, who completed for the Soviet Union and then Ukraine, and Brian Joubert from France.
