Competition Notes
The competition was open to skaters from European ISU member nations who had reached the age of 15 before 1 July 2002. The corresponding competition for non-European skaters was the 2003 Four Continents. National associations selected their entries based on their own criteria. Based on the results of the 2002 European Championships, each country was allowed between one and three entries per discipline.
The compulsory dance was the Tango Romantica. Due to the large number of participants, the ladies qualifying round was split into groups A and B.

Famous quotes containing the words competition and/or notes:
“Wearing overalls on weekdays, painting somebody else’s house to earn money? You’re working class. Wearing overalls at weekends, painting your own house to save money? You’re middle class.”
—Lawrence Sutton, British prizewinner in competition in Sunday Correspondent (London)
“Lap me in soft Lydian airs,
Married to immortal verse,
Such as the meeting soul may pierce
In notes with many a winding bout
Of linked sweetness long drawn out,
With wanton heed and giddy cunning,
The melting voice through mazes running,
Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony;”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
