The Golden Bear is an ISU annual international figure skating competition held in Zagreb, Croatia. Skaters compete in four disciplines: men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, although, some years, not every discipline is included in the program.
It is the equivalent of the Golden Spin of Zagreb for Junior and Novice skaters, as well as skaters below the Novice level (Cubs and Chicks). It has been held since 1986.
Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or bear:
“Ah, Hope! what would life be, stripped of thy encouraging smiles, that teach us to look behind the dark clouds of to-day, for the golden beams that are to gild the morrow.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
“I bear a burden that might well try
Men that do all by rule,
And what can I
That am a wandering-witted fool
But pray to God that He ease
My great responsibilities?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
