Think you know figure skating history? Think again.

I'm thrilled to launch a brand-new Collector's Edition Set lovingly compiled for figure skating fans to want to take a deep dive into the history of the World and European Figure Skating Championships. 


Together, these two books are the ultimate references for fans, historians, and anyone who loves the sport. These books are the result of meticulous research of original sources, capturing details that you simply can’t find online.

Sure, you can search for past results on the internet - but early records are often incomplete and  sometimes inaccurate. If you want to learn the real history of the oldest continuous international figure skating competitions in the world, these are the books for you.

Why You’ll Love This Set:

- Every Result, Every Champion - From the very first World and European Figure Skating Championships in the 19th Century to today's stars, every competition is documented with complete results, facts and firsts.

- Rare Photos - Curated black & white photographs highlight the evolution of figure skating over the decades.

- Stories Behind the Scores - Trivia, anecdotes, and historical context about the two oldest continuous international figure skating competitions in the world.

This Collector's Edition set is a wonderful keepsake for anyone passionate about the sport who wants to fully understand the history and evolution of the two of the most decorated figure skating competitions in the world.
