Golden Bear of Zagreb

The Golden Bear of Zagreb (Croatian: Zlatni medvjed) was an annual figure skating competition held in Zagreb, Croatia. Held since 1986, the event was organized by the Medveščak Figure Skating Club. It was originally a companion event to the Golden Spin of Zagreb, intended for junior- and novice-level skaters. In 2012, senior-level events were added. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, and pair skating.
