The Danish Figure Skating Championships (Danish: Danske Mesterskaber) are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Danish Skating Union (Danish: Dansk Skøjte Union) to crown the national champions of Denmark.[1] Skaters compete in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels, although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants.

Per Cock-Clausen holds the record for winning the most Danish Championship titles in men's singles (with thirteen), while Anisette Torp-Lind holds the record in women's singles (with seven).

History

Prior to the construction of indoor ice rinks, the Danish Championships were dependent on the weather. Lakes and ponds needed to be frozen over long enough for skaters to practice as well as compete.[1] Therefore, the Danish Championships were interrupted numerous times due to mild winters. In 1957, Danish champion Per Cock-Clausen reported: "In Denmark the winter has been very mild... There were only a couple of days in December [1956] and one or two in March when skating has been possible on the lakes."[2] The first indoor ice rinks opened in Esbjerg and Østerbro in 1959.[1]
