UVODNIK INTRODUCTION

Ovom knjigom želimo vas podsjetiti kako se u Zagrebu 2013. klizalo, natjecalo, slavilo, družilo i iznad svega - uživalo.

U 6

bogatoj povijesti klizačkog sporta u svijetu, Hrvatska i Zagreb uvijek su imali svoje mjesto. Neiscrpno povjerenje Svjetske klizačke organizacije (ISU) nešto je na što gledamo s izrazitim ponosom i zahvalom.

Zagreb je grad s dugom tradicijom organiziranja važnih sportskih manifestacija, a nakon 1974., 1979. i 2008. godine, u siječnju 2013. četvrti put smo imali privilegiju u svojoj zemlji i njezinom glavnom gradu ugostiti ono najbolje što nudi europsko klizanje. Bilo je to prvo veliko sportsko natjecanje u godini u kojoj je Republika Hrvatska ušla u Europsku uniju.

S nešto više od četiri milijuna stanovnika, svjesni smo da nismo među zemljama koje imaju klizačka imena u svjetskom vrhu, no ne zaboravljamo svoju tradiciju i trudimo se u klizačkoj obitelji biti prisutni organizacijski. Time pokazujemo odgovornost prema vlastitoj zajednici promovirajući sport, odgajamo nove mlade ljude koji će se angažirati u planovima Hrvatskog klizačkog saveza i otvaramo mogućnosti za buduće klizačke zvijezde.

We would like to use this book to remind you of all that went on in Zagreb 2013 - skating, competition, celebration and above all else – having fun.

agreb and Croatia have always have a significant place in the rich history of figure skating. The amount of trust that the ISU has been placing in us is something that we are very proud and grateful for.

Zagreb is a city with a long tradition of organizing important athletic events and, after 1974,1979 and 2008, in January 2013 we had the privilege to host the best European skaters for the fourth time in our Nation’s Capital. This was the first major sport event in the year that Croatia joined the European Union. With just over 4 million inhabitants we are aware that currently we are not producing top level skaters but we are making our presence known in the organizational capacity. We feel that in that way we are also doing a service to our com-

Danas imamo veliku perspektivu u kadetskim i juniorskim selekcijama, neki od klizača treniraju u inozemstvu, a sve se češće susrećemo s interesima da za Hrvatsku nastupaju klizači koji žive u drugim zemljama.

Svijet je danas postao globalan, stoga treba tražiti nove forme uspjeha.

Hrvatski klizački savez svoju funkciju shvaća kao mjesto okupljanja i otvaranja prema svijetu, nikako zatvaranja. Jer, sport promiče mnoge vrijednosti, a naročito međunarodnu suradnju, a i Europsko prvenstvo u umjetničkom klizanju 2013. učinilo je upravo to. Vjerujemo da je klizačima, njihovom vodstvu i svim zaljubljenicima u klizački sport Europsko prvenstvo u Zagrebu 2013. pružilo mnoge nezaboravne trenutke, te se nadamo da će svim dragim gostima ostati u ugodnom sjećanju.

Ako se nekada detalji i izbrišu, ovom knjigom želimo vas podsjetiti kako se u Zagrebu 2013. klizalo, natjecalo, slavilo, družilo i iznad svega - uživalo.

A naši snovi rastu i dalje. Vrijednim radom idemo korak po korak do onog najvećeg sna: da jednog dana u svojoj zemlji ugostimo i jedino natjecanje u umjetničkom klizanju koje do sada nismo organizirali - Svjetsko prvenstvo.

Za nas nemoguće ne postoji. Dokazali smo to nebrojeno puta do sada.

Nastavljamo sanjati…

munity by promoting the sport as well as shaping young minds – both future skating stars and leaders in the Croatian Skating Federation.

Currently we have many skaters with great potential in junior and novice age groups. Some of our skaters occasionally train abroad and we are often meeting skaters who would love to represent Croatia. The world is a global village and there are many avenues of success that need to be explored. The Croatian Skating Federation views itself as an organization open to new ways of improvement. Sport promotes many values and international cooperation is one of them as the European Figure Skating Championships 2013 did just that.

We believe that skaters, coaches and officials as well as many skating enthusiasts had many unforgettable moments in Zagreb 2013 and that they will cherish the memories for years to come.

And in case that those memories start to fade, we would like to use this book to remind you of all that went on in Zagreb 2013 - skating, competition, celebration and above all else – having fun.

And our dreams continue to grow.

We continue to work hard and are approaching the realization of our biggest dream – to host the only Figure skating event that we still have not – World Figure Skating Championships.

The impossible does not exist for us.

We have proved that many times. We continue to dream…

agreb je mjesecima prije početka Europskog prvenstva disao za klizanje. Hrvatski klizački savez uložio je sve snage kako bi se širom Europe čulo za taj veliki događaj. Ništa manje «glasno» o klizanju se nije pričalo ni u zemlji domaćinu.

Legenda hrvatskog klizanja dr. sc.

Sandra Dubravčić-Šimunjak i Idora Hegel, pojačane mladim klizačkim snagama, najozbiljnije su shvatile ulogu ambasadora. Promicale su Europsko prvenstvo na svakom koraku, na svakoj ledenoj površini… Od kultne Šalate na kojoj je 8. prosinca 1967. stvoreno danas jedno od najstarijih svjetskih natjecanja, Zlatna pirueta, pa sve do - hokejaških utakmica! U prepunoj zagrebačkoj Areni, pred više od 10.000 gledatelja, naše vrijedne ambasadorice predstavile su samo dio čari koje je kasnije donijelo Europsko prvenstvo u Zagrebu.

Svaki dan bliži početku natjecanja bio je sve napetiji, a da se u Zagrebu sprema doista nešto posebno, dočarao je dolazak jednog od najvećih klizača svih vremena, Rusa Evgenija Plushenka.

M

onths before the European Figure Skating Championships, Zagreb was living and breathing figure skating. Croatian Skating Federation made an effort so this event would be the talk of Europe. They were also promoting it vigorously in Croatia. Legend and star of Croatian skating – Dr. Sanda Dubravčić Šimunjak and Idora Hegel, helped by an army of young skaters, promoted the event all across the country, on every step and at every ice rink. They were at the famous open ice rink Šalata (where on December 8, 1967 one of the oldest figure skating competitions in the world began – The Golden Spin) and even at hockey games! At the packed Zagreb Arena in front of 10000 people, our diligent ambassadors presented only part of the magic that the European Figure Skating Championships would bring.

The excitement grew with every day that the competition came closer. Zagreb knew something big was in store when one of the greatest skaters of his generation and perhaps all time, arrived – Evgeni Plushenko of Russia.

Sretan sam što mogu biti ovdje. Sve je sjajno, hotel, organizacija, sve. Želim u Zagrebu klizati za sve vas.

Imam malih problema s leđima, ali kao i uvijek posljednjih 20 godina, to za mene nije ništa novo. Pokušat ću dati maksimum, klizati najbolje što mogu. Imam već sedam naslova prvaka Europe, ali pokušat ću osvojiti još jedan. Iako, bit će teško - rekao je Plushenko na konferenciji za novinare i dodao: “Sam sebi sam glavni protivnik. Iako, postoje mnogi snažni klizači koji se ovdje natječu, stoga želim sreću i njima i sebi.”

Kada su sportaši već otkrili da su spremni, nedostajalo je još samo jedno zeleno svjetlo. Ono Međunarodne klizačke organizacije i njezinih uglednih članova.

Zagreb je idealno mjesto za doći bilo kao turist ili zbog sporta. Hrvatski klizački savez uložio je veliki napor da natjecanje izgleda sjajno i funkcionira na najvišoj razini - naglasila je Phyllis Howard, predstavnica ISU-a.

Pohvale za domaćina imao je i glavni sportski direktor ISU-a Peter Krick.

“Iznimno sam zadovoljan ljudima i ozračjem u Organizacijskom odboru.

Siguran sam da će Zagreb ponovno biti mjesto gdje ćemo svi zajedno uživati…”

Predsjednica Organizacijskog odbora prvenstva i Hrvatskog klizačkog saveza, Morana Paliković Gruden, dala je posljednji znak: Spremni smo.

S nestrpljenjem čekamo početak. Sretno svima.

Vjerujem da ćete uživati u Zagrebu i Hrvatskoj!

I am happy to be here. Everything is excellent- the hotel, organization, everything…I want to skate in Zagreb for all of you. I am having some back problems but that is nothing new in the past 20 years. I will try to do my best, give it my all. I already have seven gold medals from the European Figure Skating Championships but I will try to add another one to the collection even though it will be challenging.” – Plushenko said at his press conference and added.

“I am my own toughest opponent even though there are many formidable skaters competing here so I wish them and myself all the luck.”

All the skaters were ready to go and all that was missing was the green light form the ISU and its esteemed officials.

Zagreb is an ideal place to visit whether you are a tourist or an athlete. The Croatian Skating Federation made a great effort to organize this competition at the highest level.” – Phyliss Howard, ISU Representative was impressed.

- “I am extremely pleased with the people and atmosphere in the Organizing Committee. I have no doubt that we will all once again have a great time in Zagreb.” – praised Peter Krick, ISU Sport Director.

Morana Paliković Gruden, president of the Croatian Skating Federation, gave her final blessing: We are ready. We are eagerly looking forward to the event. Good luck to everyone! I sincerily believe that you will enjoy Zagreb and Croatia!”

rad Zagreb i njegovo vodstvo predvođeno gradonačelnikom Milanom Bandićem uvijek je bilo uz klizački sport u glavnom gradu Hrvatske. Ništa drukčije nije bilo ni ovog puta. Zajedno sa zamjenicom Jelenom Pavičić Vukičević, dan prije početka natjecanja, te u pratnji vodstva Hrvatskog klizačkog saveza, gradonačelnik Bandić obišao je Dom sportova, zavirio u svaki kutak koji je sljedećih dana bio u rukama najboljih europskih klizača. Od glavne dvorane do prostorija za zagrijavanje, odmor, do press centra, dvorana za konferencije, prostora za volontere…

Oduševljen sam kako je sve uređeno.

Hrvatski klizački savez uložio je velike napore kako bi sve bilo besprijekorno.

Doista je sve spremno za početak!

T

he City of Zagreb led by Mayor Milan Bandić has always been supportive of figure skating and this time was no different. Accompanied by Deputy Mayor Jelena Pavičić Vukičević, Mayor Bandić visited and inspected every corner of the Dom Sportova Arena which would host the best skaters of Europe for the following week. Warm up area, lounges, press rooms, press conference areas, volunteer areas…

I am very impressed with the venue.

Croatian Skating Federation has worked tirelessly to ensure that everything is flawless. We are truly ready to start!

Ždrijeb natjecanja Još je samo jedan detalj ostao i moglo je početi.

Samo još ždrijeb.

Svi su s nestrpljenjem čekali što će im «kuglice» donijeti. Neki su bili presretni, neki manje sretni, no na kraju su svi i onako morali izaći na led. Prvi ili posljednji odraditi posao...

One more detail to attend to and we could get started – the Official Draw.

Everyone was anxiously anticipating the outcome of the luck of the draw.

Some were happy, some less so but in the end all of them took the ice.

Whether you skate first or last, you still had a job to do.

pektakularnim nastupima više od sto mladih hrvatskih klizača te legende hrvatskog klizanja, dr. sc. Sande Dubravčić-Šimunjak i sjajne Idore Hegel, pred više od 4.000 gledatelja u Ledenoj dvorani zagrebačkog Doma sportova počelo je svečano otvaranje Europskog prvenstva u umjetničkom klizanju! Čast da službeno otvori natjecanje pripalo je Phyllis Howard, predstavnici ISU-a, Međunarodne klizačke organizacije koja je govorom oduševila sve i nekoliko puta bila prekinuta ovacijama.

Doista mi je velika čast biti u Zagrebu kao predstavnica ISU-a na ovom prestižnom Europskom prvenstvu u umjetničkom klizanju. Ovo nije moj prvi posjet Zagrebu. On je bio 1999. kada sam bila vođa puta velikom timu vrlo mladih klizača na Svjetskom juniorskom prvenstvu u umjetničkom klizanju. Tada sam doživjela nezaboravno iskustvo zbog kojega sam se iznimno radovala povratku u Hrvatsku. Bila sam tu na mnogo drugih ISU natjecanja pa i na prošlom Europskom prvenstvu.

Posebno želim pohvaliti Hrvatski

T

he Opening Ceremony of the European Figure Skating Championships started with a spectacular performance of over a hundred young Croatian skaters who were joined by legends of Croatian skating – Dr. Sanda Dubravcic Simunjak and Idora Hegel. The Dom Sportova Arena was packed with over 4000 spectators.

Phyllis Howard, ISU Representative, had the honor to open the competition. Her speech was received with enthusiasm and standing ovations.

It is indeed an honor to be in Zagreb at the prestigious ISU European Figure Skating Championships as the ISU Representative. This not my first visit to your city. That was in 1999 when I came here as the leader of a big team of very young skaters at the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships. That was an unforgettable experience that made me look forward to returning to Croatia. I have been here on many other ISU competitions as well as the last ISU European Figure Skating Championships that you hosted. I would especially like to praise the Croatian Skating Federation for their organization of major ISU events. It is a very

Svi osim ruskog para ponovno su došli u Hrvatsku 2013. godine. I još jednom imali velike uloge na zagrebačkom ledu...

Tatiana Volosozhar i Maxim Trankov u Zagrebu su obranili naslov europskih prvaka u sportskim parovima. Ruski par je drugoga dana Europskog prvenstva, pred više od 4.000 navijača, osvojio prve medalje u Zagrebu. Najbolji nakon kratkog, najbolji nakon slobodnog i uvjerljivi pobjednici sa 212,45 bodova.

Napravili smo nekoliko greškica, ali kada je zlato tu, ne smijemo biti sitničavi. Rezultat je odličan i trebamo biti zadovoljni. Jako smo zadovoljni što smo obranili naslov europskih prvaka , rekla je zlatna Tatiana.

Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov successfully defended their Pairs title in Zagreb. On the second day of the Championships they won a gold medal in front of over 4000 people.

They won the short, they won the free and in the end they took the gold with 215.45 points.

We made a few little mistakes but we can’t be too pedantic after winning the gold. The result is great and we should be happy. We are very happy to have defended our title. We are not completely satisfied with our skating but we can not be anything but happy with the result Tatiana said.

The Pairs silver went to Germany to Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy who came to Zagreb as current World Champions. Second in both programs, they took the silver with 205.24 points.

Srebrna medalja otišla je u Njemačku, Alioni Savchenko i Robinu Szolkowyju koji su u Zagreb došli kao aktualni svjetski prvaci. Bili su drugi u oba programa i osvojili 2. mjesto sa 205,24 boda.

Mislim da je prva polovica slobodnog programa bila jaka, moćna, ali u drugom dijelu ponestalo je snage. No, dali smo sve od sebe komentirao je Szolkowy.

Najviše su u Ledenoj slavili Talijani.

Brončani Stefani Berton i Ondrej Hotarek svojoj zemlji su donijeli prvu medalju u sportskim parovima skupivši 187,45 bodova.

Velika je stvar svojoj zemlji nešto donijeti prvi. Trudili smo se, a sad ćemo uživati u ovoj sreći. Danas je bio jedan od najtežih dana za nas. Pritisak trećeg mjesta u kratkom programu bio je poprilično velik. No, izdržali smo sve. Nikada u životu nismo bili sretniji , otkrio je Hotarek.

I think the first half of the free was very powerful but we ran out of steam in the second part. We did our best. Szolkowy commented.

Italians Stefania Berton and Ondrej Hotarek were the happiest with their bronze Medals in Pairs with 187.45 points. The medal was the first Italian medal in that category.

It is a big deal to win something for your country for the first time. We worked hard and now we will enjoy this happy moment. Today was a big day for us.

The pressure of the third place after the short was big but we made it.

We have never been happier. revealed Hotarek.

Trećega dana Europskog prvenstva zlato u plesnim parovima pripalo je Ekaterini Bobrovoj i Dmitriju Solovievu. I to u dramatičnom finalu u kojem su sa 169,25 bodova srebrne kolege iz reprezentacije, Elenu Ilinykh i Nikitu Katsalapova iza sebe ostavili za samo 0,11 bodova.

Ilinykh i Katsalapov imali su najbolji slobodni ples, no na kraju su morali priznati poraz. Italija je osvojila šestu medalju u plesnim parovima u povijesti europskih prvenstava. Anna Cappellini i Luca Lanotte doma su odnijeli broncu sa 165,80 bodova.

Jer prije dolaska u Zagreb nismo razmišljali o našim šansama za pobjedu. Sada, kada smo uspjeli, uživat ćemo u njoj rekla je Bobrova.

The program wasn’t perfect but we showed what we can do and this is an amazing feeling. Our first title. I am still floating on air, it hasn’t sunk in yet. We were not thinking of winning before we came here. But we won and we are planning to enjoy it. Bobrova said.

Ilinykh i Katsalapov nisu krili malo nezadovoljstvo.

Učinili smo sve što smo mogli, zato smo malo razočarani. Teško je kad izgubite zlato s tako malom razlikom, ali to će nam dati još više motiva da već na sljedećem natjecanju budemo još bolji , obećao je Katsalapov.

Cappellini i Lanotte u oba programa bili su treći.

Postigli smo naš cilj. Imali smo dva vrlo dobra nastupa i sretni odlazimo kući , rekao je Lanotte.

Ilinykh and Katsalapov were not hiding disappointment.

We did our best today and that’s why we are a little disappointed. It is hard to lose by such a small margin but it will definitely motivate us to do better at our next competition Katsalapov vowed.

Cappellini and Lanotte came third in both programs.

We achieved our goal. We had two good programs and we are going home happy. – Lanotte said.

Javier Fernandez ispisao je povijest u Zagrebu. Pretposljednjeg dana Europskog prvenstva, 23-godišnji Španjolac postao je prvi u svojoj zemlji koji je na velikom klizačkom natjecanju osvojio medalju.

I to odmah zlatnu. Sjajni slobodni program izveden na „Charlie Chaplin“ zaslužio je ocjenu od velikih 274,87 bodova.

Iza sebe je srebrnog Francuza Florenta Amodioa prvaka Europe 2011., ostavio za čak 24 boda. Brončani je Čeh Michal Brezina sa 243,52 boda.

37 Javier Fernandez made history in Zagreb. The 23 year old became the first Spanish skater ever to win a medal at a Championship event!

And it was gold! He won 274.87 points and skated a crowd pleasing free program to the soundtrack of Charlie Chaplin movies. The second placed French skater, Florent Amodio (European Champion 2011) had to settle for 24 points less than Fernandez. The bronze went to Czech skater Michal Brezina with 243.52 points.

After the short program Fernandez was in second place behind Amodio and Brian Joubert was in third place. But in a thrilling finale Brezina was second in the free program and pushed Joubert off the podium.

KLIZAČI MEN

Nakon kratkog programa Fernandez je bio drugi, iza Amodia, dok je Brian Joubert bio treći. No, Brezina je drugim najboljim slobodnim programom maknuo Jouberta s postolja. Nakon 6. mjesta u kratkom programu, od natjecanja je zbog ozljede odustao veliki Evgeni Plushenko.

Imao sam nevjerojatan dan.

Moj program je dobro prošao, suci su dali visoke ocjene, a meni je to bilo dovoljno za pobjedu. To je fantastično! Nije bilo lako osvojiti naslov protiv kolega koji su nevjerojatni. Osjećao sam se vrlo dobro i idem kući sretan! rekao je novi prvak Fernandez.

Sa samo jednim četverostrukim skokom manje od Španjolca, točnije s dva, Amodio nije uspio zadržati prvo mjesto ni u slobodnom programu.

There was more drama after the short as the great Evgeni Plushenko had to withdraw from the free after an injury (6th place in short).

I had an amazing day. My program went over very well and the judges rewarded it with a high score which brought me victory. It is fantastic! It is not easy to win against all these amazing skaters. I am feeling very good here and am going home very happy! – the new champion Fernandez revealed.

With 2 quadruple jumps (one less than Fernandez) Amodio did not manage to hold on to his short program first place.

40 Borio sam se do kraja, dao sam sve od sebe, sve što sam imao, ali imao sam dvije-tri pogreške. Ipak, jako sam sretan što sam osvojio ovu medalju za Francusku. Javier je danas bio bolji. Ovo Europsko prvenstvo je bilo izvanredno, drago mi je da je završilo na taj način.

Nakon dva četvrta mjesta na EP, Brezina je prvi put u karijeri osvojio europsku medalju. Broncu.

Konačno sam stigao do pobjedničkog postolja.

Bilo je jako teško, ali nije bilo druge šanse za mene nego da idem maksimalno riskantno. Unatoč nekim greškama, vrlo sam sretan zbog svog klizanja i rezultata , poručio je Čeh.

I fought till the end, gave it my all but I did make two-three mistakes. I am very happy to have won a medal for France. Javier was better today. This European Championships was great, I am happy with the outcome.

After finishing 4th twice at the Europeans Brezina finally won his first medal I finally made it to the podium. It was very hard but I knew that my only chance was to go full power and maximum risk. Despite some mistakes I am very happy with my skating and the result. Brezina said.

Ruskinja Adelina Sotnikova, buduća olimpijska pobjednica, imala je najbolji kratki program te treći najbolji slobodnim (ukupno 193,99), dok je njezina sunarodnjakinja Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, nakon 4. mjesta u kratkom, za kraj imala najbolji slobodni (188,85). S “malom broncom” morala se zadovoljiti Talijanka Valentina Marchei, u konačnici četvrta (171,06)...

U prve tri minute slobodnog programa osjećala sam kao da je to klizanje mog života. Ipak, vratila sam se na zemlju i shvatila da imam težak program i da na njemu trebam još raditi.

No, taj izazov je razlog zbog kojeg kližem. Do svakog europskog naslova došla sam jako teško, a djevojke koje na postolju stoje pored mene su odlične , rekla je zlatna Talijanka.

The first three minutes of my free program felt like a skate of a lifetime.

But after that I came back to Earth realizing that it is a very hard program and needs more work. That challenge is the reason why I skate.

Every European title I won was a difficult fight and the girls standing on the podium beside me are amazing – Kostner said.

Moskovljanka Adelina Sotnikova u slobodnom programu ispustila je priliku za zlato.

Moglo bi se reći da sam prilično sretna jer - učinila sam sve što sam mogla. Ovo je moje prvo Europsko prvenstvo i imam srebrnu medalju! , otkrila je.

Izvedba Elizavete Tuktamysheve na “Dark Eyes” sve je oduševila. Ipak, bilo je dovoljno “tek” za broncu.

Nevjerojatno sam sretna. Iskreno, u šoku sam.

Mislim da sam u slobodnom programu imala više samopouzdanja, noge su mi bile jače, a onda je i sve drugo bilo bolje , objasnila je Tuktamysheva.

Adelina Sotnikova from Moscow let the gold slip away in the free.

You could say that I am very happy because I did my best. This is my first European Championships and I have the silver medal! – Sotnikova shared.

Everyone way blown away by Elizaveta Tuktamysheva’s free program to “Dark Eyes” but it was only enough for a bronze.

I am incredibly happy.

Honestly I am still in shock. I think I had more confidence in the free program and my legs were stronger and then everything else was better – explained Tuktamysheva.

Majka Patrizia je bivša umjetnička klizačica, otac Erwin s hokejaškom reprezentacijom Italije nastupao je na olimpijskim igrama i svjetskom prvenstvu, kasnije trener u hokeju na ledu, a još k tome sestrična joj je velika Isolde Kostner, legenda alpskog skijanja.

When you come from a family like Carolina Costner’s it is not very likely that you can ever avoid a career in sport.

Her mother Patrizia is a former figure skater, father Erwin was a member of the Italian hockey team at the Olympics and World Championships and later became a hockey coach. Her cousin is the great Isolde Kostner, a legend of the alpine skiing world.

Pola moje obitelji s tatine strane je u sportu, na majčinoj su više uključeni u umjetnost. Ja sam s umjetničkim klizanjem dobro pomiješala obje strane. Otkrila je jednom Carolina.

Half of my family, my dad’s side is in sport, and my mom’s half are very into art. I feel like I got the best of both worlds in figure skating”- Carolina shared

“Isolde was always an added inspiration.” Carolina was born in Bolzano, Italy and is fluent in English, Italian, German and French. She started skating at the age of 4. When her ice rink was destructed in a land slide she decided to start training with Michael Huth and mover to Germany, Obersdorf, 4 hours away from her hometown.

Only two years after that at her first European Figure Skating Championships 2003 she proved that she is capable of greatness when she came in 4th place. Only a few weeks later she won her first big medal – a bronze at the Junior World Figure Skating Championships. It was also a first significant medal for Italy.

In 2003 Costner won a bronze at the World Championships and became the first Italian woman to win a medal at the Championships since Susanne Driaro (bronze, 1978). Costner is also the first Italian ever to win both the European and World titles.

Karolina Costner participated in as many as 12 European Championships and won 5 times (2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013). She also competed in 12 World Championships and won a medal 6 times (gold 2012, silver 2008 and 2013, bronze 2005, 2011 and 2014). The high point was definitely the 2014 Winter Olympics where she won her first Olympic medal, a bronze. A great highlight to an illustrious career.

Isolde mi je uvijek bila dodatna inspiracija. Ova djevojka rođena u talijanskom Bolzanu koja tečno govori engleski, talijanski, njemački i francuski jezik, klizati je počela sa samo 4 godine.

Kada je njezino klizalište 2001. uništeno u odronu, odlučila je raditi s Michaelom Huthom i preselila se u Njemačku, u Oberstdorf, četiri sata vožnje od svoga doma u Bolzanu.

Samo dvije godine kasnije (2003.), na svom prvom seniorskom Europskom prvenstvu, pokazala je da je pred njom velika karijera. Bila je četvrta. Nekoliko tjedana kasnije, na Svjetskom juniorskom prvenstvu, došla je i prva velika medalja, brončana. Bila je to prva takva medalja za Italiju u povijesti.

Kostner je i prva Talijanka koja je osvojila seniorski svjetski i europski naslov, a s broncom na Svjetskom prvenstvu 2003. i prva talijanska klizačica sa svjetskom medaljom nakon Susanne Driaro, koja je bila brončana 1978.godine.

Carolina je nastupila na čak 12 prvenstava Europe, pet puta je bila prvakinja (2007., 2008., 2010., 2012. i 2013.), na 12 svjetskih prvenstava šest puta se penjala na pobjedničko postolje (zlatna 2012, srebrna 2008. i 2013., brončana 2005., 2011. i 2014.), a vrhunac je doživjela 2014. kada je na svojim trećim Zimskim olimpijskim igrama osvojila prvu olimpijsku medalju - broncu. Zatvorila je krug jedne velike karijere...

Za sve je „kriva“ sestra Laura. Tako je jednom otkrio. Starija sestra Javiera Fernandeza prva je otkrila umjetničko klizanje, a sa šest godina sestrinim putem krenuo je i on.

Na početku je paralelno trenirao i nogomet, tenis i hokej na ledu, no s osam godina umjetničko klizanje je pobijedilo. Ovaj veliki navijač nogometnog kluba Real Madrid klizao je na klizalištu u okrugu San Martin, ali brzo mu je postalo premalo i preselio se u Majadahondu. Sa 12 godina skočio je prvi trostruki skok, a pet godina kasnije već je bio na drugom kraju svijeta. U Americi. Veliki Nikolai Morozov ponudio mu je da zajedno rade u New Jerseyu i lagano je krenuo proboj prema vrhu. Godine 2007. prvi put je nastupio na Svjetskom (35. mjesto) i Europskom (28. mjesto) prvenstvu i svake sljedeće godine bio je sve bolji.

At the very beginning he simultaneously trained also football, tennis and ice hockey but at age 8 he chose figure skating above all else. Javier is a big Real Madrid supporter and he used to skate in San Martin district but that rink soon became too small and he moved to Majadahonda. At age 12 he landed his first triple jump and five years later he was training half way across the world in the USA. The great Nikolai Morozov offered to train him in New Jersey and his rise to the top truly started. In 2007 he first participated at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships (35th place) as well as the ISU European Figure Skating Championships (28th) and kept improving his result with each passing year.

His sister Laura is the one to “blame” as he once revealed. Javier Fernandez’ older sister was the first one to have discovered figure skating and, at age 6, Javier soon followed.

Na Europskom prvenstvu u Zagrebu 2013. okrenuo je najsjajniju stranicu.

I ispisao povijest svoje zemlje. Postao je prvi Španjolac koji je došao do velike klizačke medalje, osvojivši odmah zlato. Ujedno je i prvi Španjolac koji je osvojio medalju na ISU Grand Prix natjecanju (srebro 2011. na Skate Canada) i Grand Prix finalu (bronca 2011). Ni to nije sve, jer Fernandez je prvi čovjek koji je predstavljao Španjolsku u umjetničkom klizanju na Zimskim olimpijskim igrama nakon 1956. kada se natjecao Dario Villalba. Javier je 2010. u Vancouveru bio 14., a 2014. u Sočiju četvrti.

Uz to je i aktualni dvostruki brončani na Svjetskom prvenstvu 2013. i 2014. Najveći uspon počeo je 2011., kada se preselio u Kanadu kod trenera Briana Orsera, srebrnog olimpijca iz 1984. i 1988.

Javier Fernandez sa 23 godine ima dva europska zlata, dvije svjetske bronce i 4. mjesto na Zimskim olimpijskim igrama. A odaje dojam da su godine koje slijede tek one prave...

EUROPEAN FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIP / ZAGREB 2013 CROATIA

In 2013 at the ISU European Figure Skating Championships in Zagreb he reached the top and made history by becoming the first Spaniard ever to medal at an ISU Championships by winning the gold. He is also the first Spanish skater ever to medal at a Garnd prix event (silver at Skate Canada 2011) and Grand Prix final (bronze 2011). And that’s not all, Fernandez is the first skater to represent Spain at the Winter Olympics since 1956 when Dario Villalba competed. Javier placed 14th in Vancouver and was just short of a medal in Sochi 2014 in 4th place. He also won 2 consecutive bronze medals at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships in 2013 and 2014. His rise in the rankings truly shifted into high gear when, in 2011, he moved to Canada to train with Brian Orser, silver medalist from the 1984 and 1988 Olympics.

Javier Fernandez is only 23 and already has 2 gold medals form the Europeans, 2 bronze medals from the Worlds and 4th place at the Olympics and it looks like he is only getting started…

Da danas odu u mirovinu, ne bi si mogli ništa zamjeriti. Osvojili su sve što se u seniorskom umjetničkom klizanju može osvojiti. Tatiana Volosozhar i Maxim Trankov olimpijski su pobjednici (u parovima i s timom), svjetski te trostruki europski prvaci. No, ni to nije sve. Ovaj ruski par u svojim rukama ima sva tri svjetska rekorda, u kratkom, slobodnom i ukupnom programu.

They could easily retire if they wanted to. They have won every title that can be won in Pairs Figure Skating.

Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov are Olympic champions (Pairs and Team event), World Champions and three time European Champions.

But that’s not all – this formidable team also holds the best scores in both short and free programs as well as the total score.

Tatiana was born in Dniepropetrovsk and before teaming up with Maxim she represented Ukraine with partners Petar Kharchenko and Stani-

Prvo sam rekao „ne“, bojao sam se primiti djevojku za ruku, ali kad sam pokušao, brzo sam to zavolio - otkrio je jednom Trankov.

Maxim je imao sve samo ne lagan život i karijeru. Godine 1999., u dobi od 15, pozvan je u Sankt Peterburg klizati s Irinom Ulanovom. S kolegom Smirnovim živio je na klizalištu, spavali su na tribinama ili u sobi s trenerima i borili se da prežive. Tek nakon tri godine imao je mogućnost dobiti vlastiti stan.

S bivšom partnericom Marijom Mukhortovom 2008. je osvojio europsko srebro, no dvije godine kasnije, u svibnju 2010., nova parterica mu je postala Tatiana. Nina Mozer i Stanislav Morozov znali su kako ovaj par dovesti do savršenstva. Savršenstva, kojim su osvojili klizački svijet...

Trankov once revealed “At first I said no. I was afraid to even hold a girl’s hand but once I tried I quickly warmed up to it.”

Maxim has not had an easy ride. At age 15, he was invited to train in St. Petersburg with Irina Ulanova. He and his colleague, Smirnov, basically lived at the rink, sleeping in the stands or bunking with coaches, fighting to survive. It took three whole years before he could get an apartment.

With former partner Maria Mukhortova he won the ISU European Championships in 2008 but that partnership dissolved and he teamed up with Tatiana in May of 2010. Coaches Nina Mozer and Stanislav Morozov knew that they had a fantastic team on their hands. A fantastic team that took over the skating world....

godine, ali nije išlo sve glatko. Govorili su joj da je preteška i dali joj ipak tri mjeseca šanse koju je Tatiana znala iskoristiti. U 14. godini iz singla je na očevo razočaranje prešla u par i od tada je počela priča o velikoj klizačici.

Maxim je rođen u Permu, u sportskoj obitelji. Majka je bivša atletičarka, trčala je na 400 m prepone, dok je otac Leonid bio uključen u konjički sport. I on je krenuo s klizanjem u 4. godini, no, na neko vrijeme ga je napustio. Na sreću, vratio se, a kada su treneri, supružnici Tyukov, vidjeli da će poprilično izrasti, sa 11 godina predložili su mu da prijeđe u parove.

slav Morozov. She started skating at the age of 4 but it was not all smooth sailing. She was told that she was too heavy and given a three month trial period which she used to her advantage.

At age 14, despite her father’s wishes, she chose pair skating over singles and that is where this great skater’s story truly began to shape up.

Maxim was born in Perm to an athletic family. His mother did track and field (400m hurdles) while his father Leonid was active in the equestrian circles. He also started skating at age 4 but quit for a while but fortunately returned. At age 11 his coaches, mr. and mrs. Tiukov, could see that he will grow to be quite tall and suggested that he continues his career in Pairs.

Ekaterina Bobrova i Dmitri Soloviev, najbolji ruski plesni par posljednje četiri godine, zajedno kliže od 2000. godine. Pod trenerskom palicom Elene Kustarove i Svetlane Alexeeve bili su do 2012. godine, kada ih je u proljeće preuzeo Aleksander Zhulin, srebrni na Zimskim olimpijskim igrama 1994., te svjetski i europski prvak 1993. godine.

U prvom seniorskom nastupu, na Svjetskom prvenstvu 2008. godine, bili su 13., da bi prvu veliku medalju osvojili na Europskom prvenstvu 2011. godine - srebro. I godinu poslije je došlo srebro, a onda u Zagrebu 2013. napokon i zlato. Iste godine prvi put su došli i do svjetske medalje, brončane.

Na svojim drugim Zimskim olimpijskim igrama, onima u Sočiju 2014., imali su povlasticu nastupiti za ruski tim i ispisati povijest. Prvo ekipno olimpijsko zlato u umjetničkom klizanju pripalo je upravo domaćinu Rusiji. Ako ih zaobiđu ozljede, koje su posebice Solovieva mučile u posljednje vrijeme, pred njima je još puno velikih klizačkih godina...

Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev have been on top for the past four years and have been skating together since 2000. They were initially coached by Elena Kustarova and Svetlana Alexeeva but in 2012 Alexander Zhulin (silver medalist at the 1994 Olympics and World and European champion 1993) took over.

They came in 13th place the first time they competed at the World Championships. Their first major medal was silver at the 2011 ISU European Figure Skating Championships. They won the silver medal at the following Championships in 2012. And then finally in Zagreb in 2013 they won gold. That same year they won their first medal at the World Championships – a bronze.

The Olympics in Sochi were their second Games and they had a chance to write a bit of history there. Team Russia won the first Team Olympic gold medal. Soloviev has been battling injuries for a while and hopefully he will make a full recovery. We predict a long and successful future for this great team.

O Europskom prvenstvu u Zagrebu mjesecima su brinuli deseci volontera. Neumorno su radili da klizačicama i klizačima, njihovim trenerima, sucima, visokim klizačkim dužnosnicima i ostalim gostima ne bi ništa nedostajalo.

Dozens of volunteers worked for months so that the ISU European Figure Skating Championships could be a success. Their tireless efforts ensured that the skaters, coaches, judges, officials and other guests were well taken care of.

Za sve dane koje su dali klizanju, Hrvatski klizački savez zahvaljuje se svima. Da bi sve bilo besprijekorno zaslužni su:

Većina je nestrpljivo čekala subotu navečer. Hotel Panorama Zagreb pripremio je ludu zabavu za kraj.

Sportaši su u trenu klizaljke zamijenili svečanim cipelama i visokim petama. Prvih nekoliko minuta još su bili sramežljivi, no podij je ubrzo bio pun.

Gangnam style je lagano izlazio iz mode, Harlem Shake je bio apolutni hit te večeri. Idealni zvukovi da i dečki i cure krenu u borbu za "kraljeve plesnog podija". Bila je to večer u kojoj je nestalo rivalstvo, u kojoj nitko nije bio protivnik. Bila je to večer sjajne zabave. I prijateljstva.

I potrajalo je, do dugo u noć… Detalji? Što se dogodilo u Zagrebu, ostaje u Zagrebu!

Most participants were most excited about Saturday night. Hotel Panorama Zagreb threw a wild farewell party. The athletes traded in their skates for dress shoes and high heels. After the initial few minutes of shyness, the dance floor quickly filled up.

“Gangnam style” was slowly fading and the “Harlem shake” was taking over as the hit of the night. The music was ideal for the fight for the title of “king of the dance floor”. It was the night when rivalries were put aside and there were only friends, no adversaries. And the party went long into the night…details? What happens in Zagreb, stays in Zagreb!

eset mjeseci nakon Europskog prvenstva, Zagreb i Hrvatska ponovno su na poseban način živjeli za klizanje. Jedno od najstarijih svjetskih klizačkih natjecanja, Zlatna pirueta Zagreba, spremala je novu poslasticu s nizom najvećih klizačkih zvijezda današnjice. Zlatna pirueta je u svojih 46 izdanja u Hrvatsku dovodila najveća imena, no nitko nije izazvao takvu euforiju kao Južnokorejka Yuna Kim. Zbog nje je u Zagreb došlo više od 2.000 navijača i više od 50 novinara iz cijelog svijeta. S nestrpljenjem se pratio svaki njezin korak, od dolaska na aerodrom Zagreb, na kojem su je dočekale stotine navijača, do svakog treninga, nastupa... Bila je to zvijezda koja je u hrvatskim medijima dobila neviđenu pažnju. Novine, televizije, radio-postaje, novi mediji ...

Sve je bilo prepuno sjajne Yune Kim koja je u Zagreb došla kao aktualna olimpijska pobjednica i svjetska prvakinja.

After the ISU European Figure Skating Championships: 46th Golden Spin and Golden Yuna Kim

T

en months after the ISU European Figure Skating Championships Zagreb and Croatia celebrated figure skating once again. One of the world’s oldest competitions – the Golden Spin of Zagreb proved to be a real treat and hosted a string of skating stars. There have been many famous skaters competing at the Golden spin but no one caused a stir quite like South Korean Yuna Kim. The skating superstar drew in over 2000 supporters as well as over 50 journalists from all over the world to Zagreb. Her every move was closely watched from her arrival at Pleso airport to her every practice, performance, appearance. A true star, Yuna Kim got unprecedented coverage in Croatian media as well. Newspaper, TV, radio, new media...it was all filled with information about the amazing Yuna Kim who came to Zagreb as current Olympic and World Champion.

U dva programa u Ledenoj dvorani Doma sportova sve je oduševila.

Na kraju je sa 204,49 bodova uvjerljivo pobijedila Japanku Miki Ando (176,82) i Ruskinju Elizavetu Tuktamyshevu (169,24).

- Nastup u Zagrebu unio mi je samopouzdanje uoči Zimskih olimpijskih igara u Sočiju. Sada sam drugi put u Hrvatskoj. Bila sam tu i kad sam bila kadetkinja. Na Zlatnom medvjedu, 2003. godine. Pobijedila sam, kao i sada. Zagreb je grad iz kojeg nosim lijepe uspomene. Znam da je Hrvatska jako popularna turistička zemlja. Voljela bih se opet vratiti, ali sljedeći put na odmor, kao turist.

U Hrvatskoj će uvijek biti dobrodošao gost...

She delighted the audience at the Dom Sportova Arena with both of her programs. In the end, with 204.49 points she left the competition far behind her with Japanese skater Miki Ando in second place (176.82) and Elizaveta Tuktamisheva (169.24) in third place.

- “The performance in Zagreb gave me confidence before the Olympics.

This is my second time in Croatia. I was first here in 2003 as a Novice skater at the Golden Bear competition. I won that time too. Zagreb is a city that I will always have fond memories of. I know that Croatia is a famous tourist destination. I would certainly like to come back again but next time as a tourist, to rest.“ She will always be a welcome guest here…

Bit će to moj pretposljednji natjecateljski nastup u karijeri i odlična provjera za Zimske olimpijske igre u Sočiju - otkrila je po dolasku u Zagreb Yuna Kim.

This will be the penultimate competition in my career and a great test for the Winter Olympics in Sochi” – Yuna Kim revealed after arriving to Zagreb.

grad velike city of great povijesti history Prvi pisani spomen Zagreba datira iz 1094. godine kada je na Kaptolu osnovana biskupija, dok susjedni Gradec 1242. godine biva proglašen slobodnim kraljevskim gradom.

Današnji Zagreb izrastao je iz dvaju srednjovjekovnih naselja koja su se stoljećima razvijala na dvama susjednim brežuljcima. Prvi pisani spomen Zagreba datira iz 1094. godine kada je na Kaptolu osnovana biskupija, dok susjedni Gradec 1242. godine biva proglašen slobodnim kraljevskim gradom. Oba naselja bila su okružena čvrstim bedemima i kulama, ostaci kojih su očuvani sve do danas.

Za turskih najezda na Europu, od 14. do 18. stoljeća, Zagreb je važna pogranična utvrda. Barokna obnova grada u 17. i 18. stoljeću mijenja obličje Gradeca i Kaptola. Ruše se stare drvene kuće, a podižu raskošne palače, samostani i crkve. Bogatstvu grada pridonose brojni trgovački sajmovi, prihodi od posjeda i mnoštvo obrtničkih radionica. U grad doseljavaju imućne plemićke obitelji, kraljevi službenici, crkveni velikodostojnici i bogati trgovci iz cijele Europe. Otvaraju se škole i bolnice, prihvaćaju se kulturni običaji europskih prijestolnica. Grad prerasta

ZAGREB Todays Zagreb has grown out of two medieval settlements that for centuries developed on neighbouring hills. The first written mention of the city dates from 1094, when a diocese was founded on Kaptol, while in 1242, neighbouring Gradec was proclaimed a free and royal city. Both the settlements were surrounded by high walls and towers, remains of which are still preserved.

During the Turkish onslaughts on Europe, between the 14th and 18th centuries, Zagreb was an important border fortress. The Baroque reconstruction of the city in the 17th and 18th centuries changed the appearance of the city. The old wooden houses were demolished, opulent palaces, monasteries and churches were built. The many trade fairs, the revenues from landed estates and the offerings of the many craft workshops greatly contributed to the

U 19. stoljeću broj se stanovnika udeseterostručuje. Dvadeseto stoljeće donosi u Zagreb duh secesije. Grad živi u obilju građanskog društva, čvrsto povezan s tadašnjim europskim središtima kulture, umjetnosti i znanosti. S rastom bogatstva i industrije, grad se od 60-tih godina naglo širi prostranom ravnicom uz rijeku Savu gdje niče suvremeni poslovni grad, spreman za izazove trećega tisućljeća.

SVAKAKO POSJETITI

Trg bana Jelačića glavni je trg grada Zagreba te odaje počast banu Josipu Jelačiću. Taj uspješni vojni general ukinuo je kmetstvo u Hrvatskoj te je predvodio nekoliko uspješnih vojnih pohoda u revoluciji 1848. Iako nosi službeno ime Trga bana Josipa Jelačića, građani ga najčešće zovu samo Jelačić plac. Nalazi se nedaleko od tržnice Dolac. Okružen je velikim brojem ulica i uličica (Radićeva, Ilica, Gajeva, Splavnica, Bakačeva, Harmica i Jurišićeva) koje zajedno čine djelomičnu pješačku zonu gdje biciklisti i pješaci mogu neometano istraživati, no ipak morate paziti na tramvaje!

Atelier zaklade Ivan Meštrović smješten je u nekadašnjem domu i radionici Ivana Meštrovića, slavnog hrvatskog kipara, slikara i dizajnera. Sama građevina datira iz 17. stoljeća, a danas se tamo mogu

When Kaptol, Gradec and the surrounding settlements were administratively combined into the integrated city of Zagreb in 1850, the development accelerated still more. The disastrous earthquake of 1880 sparked off the reconstruction and modernization of many shabby neighbourhoods and buildings.

Prestigious public buildings were erected, parks and fountains were made, and transportation and other infrastructures were organized.

In the 19th century the population increased tenfold. The twentieth century brought the Secession style to Zagreb.

The city lived in the plenty of a civil society, with firm links with all the central European centres. With an increase in wealth and industry from the 1960s on, the city spread out over the wide plains alongside the Sava River, where a new, contemporary business city has develop, ready for the challenges of the third millennium.

PLACES TO VISIT

Bana Jelacic Square is Zagreb’s main square, honouring Count Josip Jelacic.

This high achieving army general abolished serfdom and conducted a number of successful military campaigns in the 1848 Revolutions. Although the square’s official title is the Trg Bana Jelacica, locals generally just refer to it as Jelacic Square. You will find it in Zagreb’s Upper Town, not far from Dolac market.

A large number of streets, like Radiceva, Illica, Gajeva, Splavnica, Bakaceva, Harmica and Jurisiceva, all meet at this pedestrianised area where no cars can enter, so those on foot and bicycles have greater freedom to explore. Watch out for the trams, however!

svoje srednjovjekovne granice i širi se prostranom ravnicom. Podižu se prvi perivoji i ladanjska imanja. Zagreb se potvrđuje kao upravno, gospodarsko i kulturno središte Hrvatske.

Administrativnim ujedinjenjem Kaptola, Gradeca i okolnih naselja u jedinstveni grad Zagreb 1850. godine, njegov se razvoj još više ubrzava. Razorni potres iz 1880. godine pokrenuo je obnovu i modernizaciju mnogih dotrajalih četvrti i građevina. Podižu se reprezentativne javne zgrade, uređuju parkovi i fontane, organizira se javni prijevoz i komunalne usluge.

wealth of the city. Affluent aristocratic families, royal officials, church dignitaries and rich traders from the whole of Europe moved into the city. Schools and hospitals were opened, and the manners of European capitals were adopted. The city outgrew its medieval borders and spread to the lowlands. The first parks and country houses were built. Zagreb confirmed its position as the administrative, cultural and economic centre of Croatia.

Kamenita vrata jedna su od pet originalnih vrata u utvrdi koja je okruživala Gradec (stari dio Zagreba). Kamenita vrata pružala su ulaz u istočnu stranu Gradeca. To su danas jedina očuvana vrata utvrde te su odlična polazna točka za istraživanje staroga grada. Vjeruje se da su Kamenita vrata jedina preživjela razorni požar iz 1731. godine jer su bila ukrašena slikom Isusa i Marije. Kako bi se očuvala slika koja je zaslužna za to čudo, izgrađena je kapelica te se slika danas može promatrati kroz zaštitnu ogradu.

Vjernici često posjećuju Kamenita vrata kako bi se molili.

Arheološki muzej Grada Zagreba dom je mnogim svjetski važnim arheološkim otkrićima. Artefakti se održavaju na najvišem mogućem nivou de nam omogućavaju uvid u drevne civilizacije. U prizemlju se nalazi stalna postava relikvija kao što su drevni novčići, novac i medalje. Na drugom katu nalaze se artefakti iz Stare Grčke i Rima kao i oni koji datiraju iz Srednjeg vijeka. Na trećem katu nalaze se artefakti iz prethistorije te nalazi i Starog Egipta.

Glavno zagrebačko groblje, Mirogoj, jedno je od najljepših mjesta u gradu Zagrebu i vrlo vjerojatno jedno od najljepših posljednjih počivališta na svijetu.

The Atelier-Ivan Mestrovic Foundation is located in the former home and workshop of Atelier-Ivan Mestrovic, the famous Croatian sculptor, architect, designer and painter. The building itself dates from the 1600s and today displays his huge collections of various works.

Through the displays and permanent exhibitions, one gets a true sense of his inspiration for his works and his daily life.

In the on site shop, catalogues and books on the artist are available for purchase.

Stone Gate (or Kamenita Vrata, as it is known in Croatian) originally was one of five gates in the fortified walls surrounding Gradec (today known as the Old Town of Zagreb), which guarded access to the district. The Stone Gate allowed access to the eastern side. These days, it is the only gate left standing, and is an excellent place from which to begin your explorations of the Old Town. It is said that this was the only structure left standing after the destruction of 1731, as it was decorated with a picture of Jesus and Mary. In order to preserve this picture which had brought about such a miracle, a church was built around it and it now can be viewed inside a case. Worshippers regularly visit to pray here.

The Archaeological Museum in Zagreb is home to a number of the world’s most complete archaeological discoveries. Their amazing level of preservation means we can learn so much more about ancient civilizations. On the ground floor is a permanent display of relics such as ancient coins, paper money and medals. On the second floor are artefacts from ancient Greece and Rome, as well as from the Middle Ages. On the third floor are artefacts from prehistory and ancient Egypt.

The main cemetery, Mirogoj, is one of Zagreb’s most fascinating sights and perhaps one of the most beautiful resting places in the world.
