2008 Finnish Figure Skating Championships
The Finnish Figure Skating Championships is a figure skating national championship held annually to determine the national champions of Finland. Skaters compete at the senior and junior levels in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, although not all disciplines are included in the program every year due to the lack of competitors. Skaters compete across the levels of Junior and Senior.
The 2008 competition took place between December 7 and 9, 2007 in Rauma.
The event was used to help determine the Finnish team to the 2008 European Figure Skating Championships. Following the event, the Europeans team was named as: Korpi, Lepistö, and Vähämaa, for ladies, and Minkkinen for the men.
