Competition Notes
The competition was open to skaters from European ISU member nations who had reached the age of 15 before 1 July 2001. The corresponding competition for non-European skaters was the 2002 Four Continents. National associations selected their entries based on their own criteria. Based on the results of the 2001 European Championships, each country was allowed between one and three entries per discipline.
The first compulsory dance was the Ravensburger Waltz and the second was the Blues. Due to the large number of participants, the ladies' and men's qualifying groups were split into groups A and B.

Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or notes:
“Mothers seem to be in subtle competition with teachers. There is always an underlying fear that teachers will do a better job than they have done with their child.... But mostly mothers feel that their areas of competence are very much similar to those of the teacher. In fact they feel they know their child better than anyone else and that the teacher doesn’t possess any special field of authority or expertise.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
