2021 French Figure Skating Championships
The 2021 French Figure Skating Championships were held in Vaujany from 5 to 6 February 2021. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, and ice dance. The results were part of the French selection criteria for the 2021 World Championships.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
The French Championships were originally scheduled for 17 to 20 December 2020 in Vaujany, alongside the Christmas Gala on 22 December. On 10 November, Fédération Française des Sports de Glace president Nathalie Péchalat expressed in an interview that she hoped to hold the event, despite the ongoing health crisis. One week later, on 16 November, the FFSG announced the cancellation of both the senior Championships and the Christmas Gala. The FFSG had already cancelled its Grand Prix event, the 2020 Internationaux de France, earlier in the season.Prior to the cancellation announcement, reigning ice dance champions Gabriella Papadakis / Guillaume Cizeron had already announced that they would be skipping the event. The couple explained their desire to focus on the 2021 World Championship and concerns about being stranded in Europe or separated, due to Papadakis having a different visa for their Canadian training base from Cizeron that made it more difficult for her to travel internationally.
On 12 January 2021, the FFSG announced the reinstatement of the French Championships after rescheduling the event to 5–6 February, still to be hosted in Vaujany.
