The 2015 European Figure Skating Championships was a senior international figure skating competition in the 2014–15 season. The competition was held in January 2015 in Stockholm, Sweden.^[1] Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pairs, and ice dancing.

Overview

The event was the first figure skating ISU Championship to be held in Stockholm since 1947,^[2] when the city hosted the World Championships. It last hosted the European Championships in 1912. Ericsson Globe served as the competition arena and Annexet as the training rink. In June 2014, Annexet was iced over for the first time since 1989.^[2]

Qualification

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 1 July 2014 in their place of birth. The corresponding competition for non-European skaters is the 2015 Four Continents Championships. National associations selected their entries according to their own criteria, but the ISU mandated that their selections must achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the European Championships.
