Ice dance Free dance   Gabriella Papadakis / Guillaume Cizeron 121.87 20 January 2018 [2]
Total score 203.16 [3]

Eligibility edit

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 July 1, 2017, in their place of birth. The corresponding competition for non-European skaters is the 2018 Four Continents Championships. National associations selected their entries according to their own criteria but the ISU mandated that their selections achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the European Championships.

Minimum TES edit

The ISU stipulates that the minimum scores must be achieved at an ISU-recognized senior international competition in the ongoing or preceding season, no later than 21 days before the first official practice day.[4]

Minimum technical scores (TES)[4]
Discipline SP / SD FS / FD
Men 25 45
Ladies 20 36
Pairs 20 36
Ice dance 19 29
SP and FS scores may be attained at different events.

Number of entries per discipline edit

Based on the results of the 2017 European Championships, the ISU allows each country one to three entries per discipline.
