This year’s Golden Pirouette, which was first held 48 years ago, will feature the best figure skaters from Croatia, Russia, United States, Japan, France and Italy.
Croatia will be represented by Lana Petranović and Michael Lueck, the first Croatian pair to compete in more than 40 years. Nicholas Vrdoljak and Tena Čopor from Croatia will also compete in the individual event. Vrdoljak was born and lives in Chicago but will represent Croatia next month.
