The 2001 U.S. Figure Skating Championships took place between January 14 and 21, 2001 at the FleetCenter in Boston, Massachusetts. Medals were awarded in four colors: gold (first), silver (second), bronze (third), and pewter (fourth) in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice.
The event was used to determine the U.S. teams for the 2001 World Championships, 2001 Four Continents Championships, and the 2001 World Junior Championships.
Competition notes
[edit]- Frank Carroll coached both the senior men's and senior ladies' champions, the first time one coach had trained two senior champions since Richard Callaghan did it in 1997 with Tara Lipinski and Todd Eldredge. Eldredge placed second here.
- Sibling pairs team Danielle Hartsell / Steve Hartsell were nearly forced to withdraw before the event after he fell on his head during practice. He required 12 stitches, but they went on to win the short program and the bronze medal overall.
