Figure skating competition
The 2007 U.S. Figure Skating Championships took place between January 21 and 28 at the Spokane Arena and the Spokane Convention Center in Spokane, Washington. Skaters competed in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice. Medals were awarded in four colors: gold (first), silver (second), bronze (third), and pewter (fourth).
The event was used to determine the U.S. teams for the 2007 World Championships, 2007 Four Continents Championships, and 2007 World Junior Championships.
The event was later named the Sports Event of the Year by Sports Travel Magazine.[1]
Notes
- Despite general consensus that the popularity of U.S. figure skating was on the decline, the competition shattered the championships' previous attendance record held by Los Angeles with a crowd of 130,000 in 2002. The new attendance record is now 155,000.
- Kimmie Meissner became the first lady since Barbara Roles to win nationals on the novice (2003), junior (2004), and senior levels. As well, Evan Lysacek won his first senior national title, completing his own novice (1999), junior (2000), and senior national titles set.
