The Yugoslav Figure Skating Championships (; ) were an annual figure skating competition to crown the national champions of Yugoslavia. Medals were awarded in men's and women's singles until the dissolution of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.
The 1964 Yugoslav Championships were heralded as the event's 14th anniversary.
The breakup of Yugoslavia began in 1991 with the secession of Slovenia and Croatia. Yugoslavia ceased to exist as a distinct entity in 2003 with the establishment of Serbia and Montenegro as a federal republic. Many Yugoslav skaters went on to represent the former constituent states after their respective independence: Tomislav ÃÂià ¾meà ¡ija, à ½eljka ÃÂià ¾meà ¡ija, and Zoran Markoviàfor Croatia; Luka Klasinc and Mojca Kopaàfor Slovenia, and Serbia after those nations broke away from Yugoslavia.
Helena Pajoviàdied while returning to Vienna with her parents the day after winning the 1993 Yugoslav Championships. In 2001, the Serbian Skating Federation debuted the Helena PajoviàCup â now called Skate Helena â in her memory.
