Norwegian Figure Skating Championships
The Norwegian Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure [skating competition] organized by the Norwegian [Skating Association] to crown the List of [figure skating competitions|national champions] of Norway. The first official Norwegian Championships were held in 1894 in Hamar and consisted of events in speed skating and figure skating. Originally, the only figure skating event was for men. An event for pair skating was added in 1906, and for women in 1911. Since 1899, the championships have been interrupted twice: from 1941 to 1945 owing to the German occupation of Norway during World War II, and in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Medals are awarded in men's and women's singles at the senior and junior levels, although each discipline may not be held every year due to a lack of participants. Norway has not seen competition in pair skating since 1968. Martin Stixrud currently holds the record for winning the most Norwegian Championship titles in men's singles, while Anne Karin Dehle holds the record in women's singles, and Alexia Schøien Bryn and Yngvar Bryn hold the record in pair skating.
