U.S. Figure Skating: The 2011 U.S. Figure Skating Championships Have Begun
The 2011 U.S. Figure Skating Championships are officially under way in Greensboro, North Carolina, where practices have begun at the Greensboro Coliseum.
The opening ceremony will not take place until Wednesday, but the air in Greensboro is already thick with anticipation.
And for good reason. The event has long since become the premiere figure skating event in the country, and it has been held annually for nearly 100 years.
The order of business at the Nationals is to determine the U.S. champions, but the event also serves as a precursor for the World Figure Skating Championships, the World Junior Figure Skating Championships, the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships and the Olympic Winter Games.
It's been a long road to the Nationals, starting with regional qualifiers in nine different regions around the country. From there, it was on to the sectionals.
After the Nationals, it will be on to international competition.
