U.S. Figure Skating Championships

The U.S. Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition organized by U.S. Figure Skating to crown the national champions of the United States. The first U.S. Championships were held in 1914 in New Haven, Connecticut, and featured the men's, women's, and pairs events. Skaters may qualify for the national championships by competing at either the Pacific Coast Sectional Finals, Eastern Sectional Finals, Midwestern Sectional Finals, U.S. Ice Dance Finals, or U.S. Pairs Finals. The results of the competition are among the criteria used to determine the American teams to the World Championships, World Junior Championships, Four Continents Championships, and Winter Olympics. They have been held without interruption since 1920.

Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels. Dick Button and Roger Turner are tied for winning the most U.S. Championship titles in men's singles (with seven each), while Maribel Vinson and Michelle Kwan are tied for winning the titles in women's singles (with nine each). Theresa Weld-Blanchard and Nathaniel Niles hold the record in pair skating (with nine), while Madison Chock and Evan Bates hold the record in ice dance (with seven).
