The Bofrost Cup on Ice (previously Sparkassen Cup and Nations Cup) is a figure skating competition which takes place annually in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. It was part of the Grand Prix series until 2003. Figure skaters compete in four disciplines: ladies' singles, men's singles, pairs, and ice dancing.
The 2002 competition took place in the Sportparadies between 8 and 10 November. The compulsory dance was the Tango Romantica. 2002 was the final year of the event's inclusion in the Grand Prix series.
Famous quotes containing the words cup and/or ice:
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Will lovely, lively, virginal today
Shatter for us with a wing’s drunken blow
This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!”
—Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)
