Brian Joubert won his third European title, as did Aliona Savchenko / Robin Szolkowy in the pairs event.[2][3][4] It was the first time at the top of the podium for Laura Lepistö and Jana Khokhlova / Sergei Novitski.[2][4][5][6]

Lepistö became the first Finn to win the ladies' single title, and second overall after Susanna Rahkamo / Petri Kokko's 1995 ice dancing title.[7] With Susanna Pöykiö winning bronze, it was also the first time Finns took two spots on the European podium.[7]
