International figure skating competition
The Golden Spin of Zagreb (Croatian : Zlatna pirueta Zagreba ) is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the Croatian Skating Federation (Croatian : Hrvatski klizački savez ) and held in Zagreb, Croatia . The competition debuted in 1973, and when the ISU launched the ISU Challenger Series in 2014, the Golden Spin of Zagreb was one of the inaugural competitions. It has been a Challenger Series event ever since, except for 2020, when it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic . Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles , pair skating , and ice dance ; and when the event is part of the Challenger Series, skaters earn ISU World Standing points based on their results.
In 2001, this event served as the qualifying competition for the 2002 Winter Olympics .[ 1] The equivalent competition for junior-level skaters is the Golden Bear of Zagreb .
The ISU Challenger Series was introduced in 2014. It is a series of international figure skating competitions sanctioned by the International Skating Union and organized by ISU member nations . The objective is to ensure consistent organization and structure within a series of international competitions linked together, providing opportunities for senior-level skaters to compete at the international level and also earn ISU World Standing points.[ 2]
The 2025 Golden Spin of Zagreb is scheduled to take place 3–6 December in Zagreb.[ 3]
