The Golden Spin of Zagreb (Croatian: Zlatna pirueta Zagreba) is an annual senior-level figure skating competition, held yearly in Zagreb, Croatia. Medals are awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, although, in some years, not every discipline is included. The equivalent for junior-level (and below) skaters is the Golden Bear of Zagreb.
The 2001 Golden Spin of Zagreb was used as the qualifying competition for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or spin:
“Love’s secrets, being mysteries, ever pertain to the transcendent and the infinite; and so they are as airy bridges, by which our further shadows pass over into the regions of the golden mists and exhalations; whence all poetical, lovely thoughts are engendered, and drop into us, as though pearls should drop from rainbows.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“In tragic life, God wot,
No villain need be! Passions spin the plot:
We are betrayed by what is false within.”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)
