2016 European Figure Skating Championships

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

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

Number of entries per discipline

Based on the results of the 2015 European Championships, the ISU allowed each country one to three entries per discipline.[3]

Entries

National associations began announcing their selections in mid-December 2015. The ISU published a complete list on 5 January 2016:
