56th Edition of Golden Spin: Ice skaters from Thirty Countries to Visit Zagreb

Figure skating fans have a really good reason to visit Zagreb in early December: the Golden Spin.

The 56th edition of the Golden Spin, an international figure skating competition, will take place in Zagreb from 4 to 7 December. Two hundred ice skaters from thirty world countries will compete, and 150 officials and 40 VIP will attend the event. Zagreb will once again be an excellent host to all of them, which is another important reason behind immense popularity of this competition among athletes, along with sports.

The competition in the categories of men's singles, women's singles and pairs will take place from 11 in the morning till the evening, and the gala show on ice will take place on 7 December at 20 o’clock.

The Golder Spin was first held in 1973. Until this year, it took place in Dom sportova Sports Hall, but due to renovation, the competition was transferred to the Zagreb Fair.

As of 2013, the Golden Spin is a part of the World ISU Challenger Series.
