US Figure Skating Championships Information
The U.S. Figure Skating Championships is an annual event that determines the best figure skaters in the country. The U.S. Figure Skating Association has authorized the event. "Nationals" is a common informal term among American skaters for this event.
Currently, there are four events where medals are given out: ice dancing, pair skating, men's singles, and ladies' singles. The colors used are gold for first, silver for second, bronze for third, and pewter for fourth. There are also two levels of competition: senior and junior. In the past, there were three tiers of medals: novice, intermediate, and junior.
Although U.S. Figure Skating may consider other results, this event chooses U.S. teams for the Winter Olympics, Four Continents Championships, World Junior Championships, and World Championships.
In the U.S., skaters competing at the junior level compete in the national championships, unlike in other nations like Russia and Japan, where the "Junior National Championships" denote the junior level.
It's worth noting that local media coverage of skaters competing at the Juvenile and Intermediate levels can be confusing due to the similarity in the events' titles. The "U.S. Junior Championships" are contested by skaters at these levels, which can lead to some ambiguity in reporting.
