The
European Speed Skating Championships are a series of
speed skating events held annually to determine the best allround speed skater of Europe. The
International Skating Union has organised the
European Championships for Men since 1893 (unofficial Championships were held in the years 1891-1892) and the
European Championships for Women since 1970. The winner is awarded a
laurel wreath. Since 1990, the men's and women's European Championships are held at the same time and venue.
