The best of the best in Europe are lacing up their skates for this prestigious event.

The five-day European Figure Skating Championships kicks off on Wednesday, January 29, with competitors battling in the categories of pairs, women’s singles, men’s singles, and ice dance. Peacock and E! will have live coverage of all the action and there'll be a highlights special that will be broadcast on NBC February 9.

Who is skating in the European Figure Skating Championships?
With the prestigious World Championships just around the corner in March (it'll take place at TD Garden in Boston), the competition will be fierce. Defending champions, Olympic hopefuls, and talented up-and-comers will all try to make their mark.
All eyes will be on Adam Siao Him Fa of France in the men’s singles skate, as the championships marks his return to competition after an injury forced him to withdraw from the Grand Prix Finals in December. The 2022 Olympian and two-time European champion aims to defend his title during the competition — and also celebrate his birthday. He’ll turn 24 on January 31.
Pairs will also bring the heat, with European teams earning five of the figure skating season’s top eight scores, according to Olympics.com. Leading the way are Grand Prix Final champions and defending world bronze medalists Minerva Fabienne and Nikita Volodin of Germany.
Real-life couple Charlène Guignard and Marco Fabbri are the reigning champions in Ice Dance and will seek to defend that title; they’ve represented Italy at three consecutive Olympics.
In women’s singles, defending champion Loena Hendrickx has had to withdraw because of injury concerns, so the competition will be anyone's to claim. Anastasiia Gubanova of Georgia took home gold in 2023, so she figures to factor in, but she finished in a disappointing eighth place in this season’s Grand Prix.
