The 2016 European Figure Skating Championships were held 25–31 January 2016 in Bratislava, Slovakia.[1] Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pairs, and ice dancing.

Eligibility

[edit]

Skaters were eligible for the event if they represented a European member nation of the International Skating Union and had reached the age of 15 before July 1, 2015 in their place of birth. The corresponding competition for non-European skaters is the 2016 Four Continents Championships. National associations selected their entries according to their own criteria but the ISU mandated that their selections achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the European Championships.

Minimum TES

SP and FS scores could be attained at different events.
