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:
“If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
“Deep in the secret chambers of my heart
I muse my life-long hate, and without flinch
I bear it nobly as I live my part.”
—Claude McKay (1889–1948)
