ISU Figure Skating Championships

The International Skating Union organizes four annual Championships for figure skating. It is at the discretion of each member country which skaters are sent to which championship. No skater can compete at all four in one season, but some skaters have competed at all four over the course of their careers.

The Championships are:

• World Figure Skating Championships, World-level competition for senior-level skaters.
• World Junior Figure Skating Championships, World-level competition for junior-level skaters.
• European Figure Skating Championships, the oldest ISU Championship, open to skaters from European countries.
• Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, the newest ISU Championship, open to skaters from non-European countries.
