Nebelhorn Trophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nebelhorn Trophy is an international senior-level figure skating competition organized by the Deutsche Eislauf-Union and held annually in Oberstdorf, Germany. The competition is named after the Nebelhorn, a nearby mountain.

It is usually the first international senior competition of the season. Skaters are entered by their respective national federations and compete in four disciplines: ladies' singles, men's singles, pairs, and ice dancing. The Fritz-Geiger-Memorial Trophy is presented to the team with the highest placements across all disciplines.

Nebelhorn Trophy has been held annually since 1969 and is thus one of the oldest international figure skating competitions that is still in existence. In its early years, this competition was paired with a now-defunct French event, the Grand Prix de St. Gervais (unrelated to the current ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating), to form the Coupe des Alpes, with many of the same skaters participating in both events and a team trophy presented to the country with the highest combined placements across both competitions. During the 1980s and early 1990s, before the establishment of a regular junior international competition circuit, younger skaters were often sent to these events as their first senior international competition assignments.

In recent years, Nebelhorn Trophy has also been used by the International Skating Union to experiment with new judging and scoring systems for figure skating. Specifically, the 1997 competition was used as the test event for the switch from the "best of majority" ordinal system to the "one-by-one" method; the 2002 event was used for an initial test of the ISU Judging System which was then under development, and the 2003 event was the first competition where that system was used to determine the official results; and the 2006 event was used for a trial of using separate panels of judges for technical elements and program components.
