The 1948 European Figure Skating Championships were held in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Elite senior-level figure skaters from European ISU member nations, in addition to the United States and Canada, competed for the title of European Champion in the disciplines of men's singles,[1] ladies' singles,[2] and pair skating.[3]
Because North Americans were allowed to participate, the best European single skaters, Eva Pawlik of Austria and Hans Gerschwiler of Switzerland, were awarded only the European Silver Medals. That was the reason the International Skating Union restricted the 1949 Europeans and all the following European Championships to European skaters. Dick Button is the only winner from outside Europe in men's singles. Barbara Ann Scott is the only winner from outside Europe in ladies' singles, this was her second title.
