2009 Chinese Figure Skating Championships
The 2009 Chinese Figure Skating Championships were the Chinese Figure Skating Championships of the 2008–2009 season. They were organized by the Chinese Skating Association. Skaters competed in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing for the title of national champion of China. In addition to the short program and free skating, single skaters also performed a 3:30 minute interpretive exhibition program, for which music with vocals was permitted.
The results of this competition were among the criteria used to choose the Chinese teams to the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships, the 2009 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, and the 2009 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships.
These Championships were distinct from the Chinese National Games, although they served to qualify some skaters for the National Games. Some of the top Chinese pair skaters did not participate in the national championships, preferring to compete solely at the National Games instead, for which they received byes.
