The Danish Figure Skating Championships (Danish: Danske Mesterskaber) are the figure skating national championships held annually to crown the national champions of Denmark. Skaters compete in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, across different levels. Not every event has been held in every year due to a lack of entries. The National Championships are organized by the Dansk Skøjte Union. The championships were held outdoors in the first half of the 20th century, and therefore were subject to the weather conditions. The championships were not held during the warmer winters.
Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or skating:
“My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
