The 2021 German Figure Skating Championships (German: Deutsche Meisterschaften im Eiskunstlaufen 2021) were held on December 18–19, 2020 at the Eissportzentrum Westfalen in Dortmund.[1] Skaters competed in the disciplines of men's and women's singles at the senior level, pair skating at the junior level, and ice dance at the senior, junior, and novice levels. Single skating competitions on the junior and novice levels were supposed to be held on March 28–29, 2021 in Dortmund, but were cancelled on March 18, 2021.[2]
The results of the national championships were among the criteria used to choose the German teams for the 2021 World Championships.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
[edit | edit source]The Junior and Novice Single skating competition was initially planned for December 11–13, 2020. On November 5, 2020, it was postponed until January 7–10, 2021.[3] After the development of COVID-19 cases after the holidays, it was once again rescheduled for March 28–29, 2021.[4] On March 18, 2021, the comptiiton was officially cancelled.[2]
The Senior competition was originally scheduled to be held in Hamburg and was then moved to Dortmund in December 2020 due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place in Hamburg.[5] The starter field was reduced in size, as skaters training at the national sports base in Oberstdorf were unable to train for extensive periods of time due to the expansive quarantine rules in Bavaria, and thus did not take part in the 2021 German Figure Skating Championships.[1] Additionally, skaters belonging to the Berlin Ice Sport Association were not allowed to attend the competition after health concerns had been raised by the association.
