Background
The first installment of the Golden Spin of Zagreb (Croatian: Zlatna pirueta Zagreba) was held in 1967 in Zagreb, in what was at the time Yugoslavia. The competition continued as a Croatian event after Croatia's independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. The ISU Challenger Series was introduced in 2014. It is a series of international figure skating competitions sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU) and organized by ISU member nations. The objective was to ensure consistent organization and structure within a series of international competitions linked together, providing opportunities for senior-level skaters to compete at the international level and also earn ISU World Standing points.[2] The Golden Spin of Zagreb was one of the competitions in the 2014 inaugural season, and has been a Challenger Series event ever since, except for 2020, when it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The 2025–26 Challenger Series consists of eleven events, of which the Golden Spin of Zagreb was the eleventh.
The International Skating Union published the initial list of entrants on 12 November 2025.[4]

Judging
Summarize
Perspective
For the 2025–26 season, all of the technical elements in any figure skating performance – such as jumps and spins – were assigned a predetermined base point value and were then scored by a panel of seven or nine judges on a scale from -5 to 5 based on their quality of execution.[5] The judging panel's Grade of Execution (GOE) was determined by calculating the trimmed mean (that is, an average after deleting the highest and lowest scores), and this GOE was added to the base value to come up with the final score for each element. The panel's scores for all elements were added together to generate a total element score.[6] At the same time, judges evaluated each performance based on three program components – skating skills, presentation, and composition – and assigned a score from .25 to 10 in .25 point increments.[7] The judging panel's final score for each program component was also determined by calculating the trimmed mean. Those scores were then multiplied by the factor shown on the following chart; the results were added together to generate a total program component score.[8]
Deductions were applied for certain violations like time infractions, stops and restarts, or falls.[10] The total element score and total program component score were added together, minus any deductions, to generate a final performance score for each skater or team.[11]
