The 2010 United States Figure Skating Championships were a national championship to determine the national rankings of the United States in the 2009–10 figure skating season. The event was among the criteria used to select the U.S. teams for the 2010 World, World Junior, Four Continents Championships, and the 2010 Winter Olympics. Skaters competed in four disciplines – men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing – across three levels: senior, junior, and novice. Medals were awarded in four colors: gold (first), silver (second), bronze (third), and pewter (fourth). Organized by U.S. Figure Skating with AT&T as the title sponsor, the 2010 Championships took place between January 14 and 24 at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena in Spokane, Washington. The Olympics were to begin 18 days after the end of the U.S. Championships. The senior-level Championship events were therefore spread out over two weekends to allow the skaters approximately four weeks between the end of their event and the start of the corresponding Olympic competition. The senior compulsory dance was the Golden Waltz. ==Olympic team selection== The results of the 2010 U.S. Championships were among the criteria used to determine the 2010 Olympic team.
