The Ukrainian Figure Skating Championships are held annually to crown the national champions of Ukraine. Skaters compete in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants. The event is organized by the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation, the sport's national governing body.[1]
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]
Vitaliy Danylchenko and Anton Kovalevski currently hold the record for the most Ukrainian Championships won in men's singles (with five each)[3][4], while Olena Liashenko holds the record in women's singles (with seven)[5] and Tatiana Volosozhar holds the record in pair skating (with five, although those were not all won while competing with the same partner).[6][7] Irina Romanova and Igor Yaroshenko, and Oleksandra Nazarova and Maksym Nikitin, are tied for the most Ukrainian Championships won in ice dance (with six each).[8][9]
After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the usual training processes in Ukraine were obviously 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.[10] Ice rinks in Kharkiv, Sievierodonetsk, Druzhkivka, and Mariupol have been damaged or destroyed by Russian missiles.[11][12] 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 organized by parents and clubs."[10]
