Golden Bear of Zagreb

The Golden Bear (Croatian: Zlatni medvjed) is an ISU annual international and inter-club figure skating competition held in Zagreb, Croatia. Held since 1986, the event is organized by the Medveščak figure skating club. It is the equivalent of the Golden Spin of Zagreb intended for Junior and Novice skaters, as well as skaters below the Novice level (Cubs and Chicks). In 2012, senior-level events were added. Skaters may compete in three disciplines: men's singles, ladies' singles and pair skating.
