Lyudmila Pakhomova and Aleksandr Gorshkov, also from the Soviet Union, hold the record for the most gold medals won in ice dance (at six).

[1] The 1893 European Championships were the first time the event was held under the jurisdiction of the International Skating Union (ISU), which was formed in the summer of 1892.

[4] Three skaters share the record for the most bronze medals won (with four each): Karol Divín from Czechoslovakia, Vyacheslav Zahorodnyuk, who completed for the Soviet Union and then Ukraine, and Brian Joubert from France.

Irina Rodnina and Alexander Zaitsev from the Soviet Union hold the record for the most gold medals won (seven in a row).

Due to missing at the 1979 European Championships in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, Rodnina and Zaitsev shares the record for the longest winning streak at back-to-back events with Marika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Bäumler from West Germany (with six victories each).

Irina Rodnina won another four gold medals with her previous partner Alexei Ulanov and was undefeated at eleven European Championships in a row.

The record for total medals won is shared by three ice dance teams (with eight each): Lyudmila Pakhomova and Aleksandr Gorshkov, Natalia Linichuk and Gennadi Karponosov, and Marina Klimova and Sergei Ponomarenko, who all competed for the Soviet Union (although Klimova and Ponomarenko represented the Commonwealth of Independent States at their last competition in 1992).
