Figure Skating National Championships
Many countries hold national championships for figure skating. These events are conducted to determine the country's national champion and are most often held in December or January. National associations generally use these events as one of the criteria to select the teams for the European, Four Continents, World Junior, and World Championships, however, their weight varies from country to country. Some countries consider only the results of their national championships, while other countries use those results in conjunction with other events and criteria.
