The Golden Bear is an ISU annual international figure skating competition held in Zagreb, Croatia. Skaters compete in four disciplines: men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing, although, some years, not every discipline is included in the program.
It is the equivalent of the Golden Spin of Zagreb for Junior and Novice skaters, as well as skaters below the Novice level (Cubs and Chicks). It has been held since 1986.

And Charles here rule as he before did reign;”

A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.”
