Abstract
This chapter discusses figure skating in Europe after World War II. The war in Europe ended in May 1945, but not until atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August did Japan capitulate. Formal terms of surrender were signed a month later. The International Skating Union Council met in July 1946 and set dates for the resumption of competition. European Championships commenced at Davos on January 31, 1947, while the World Championships followed two weeks later at Stockholm. Participation at the championships demonstrated the sport's durability and stature. The ladies' and pairs' events boasted more entries than in 1939. Not surprisingly, men's events had fewer entries. Participation increased in the men's event in 1948 but not to the prewar level.
