Snow Queen Trophy
Snow Queen ((クロアチア語:Snježna kraljica)) is a World Cup alpine ski race in Croatia. The men's and women's slalom races take place on the Medvednica mountaintop Sljeme, just north of Zagreb, usually in early January. The women's race debuted in 2005 and the men's event was added three years later in 2008. The events are held on the red run ski track on Medvednica, starting at an elevation of and ending at . Besides the city events in Moscow and Munich, it is the only World Cup event held near a large metropolitan area.
Its current prize fund of €120,000 is one of the largest on the World Cup circuit, with a winner's share of €46,000. The race has been known to attract up to 25,000 spectators, making it the largest and the most visited race on the World Cup calendar. The trophy is a crystal crown with past winners' names imprinted on it. At the award ceremony, the winner is presented with a cloak and sits on a throne like a queen (king).
==History==
The race was originally called "Golden Bear" ((クロアチア語:Zlatni medvjed)), but from the 2006 event the name was changed in honor of Janica Kostelić, whose victories in the sport helped popularise skiing in Croatia and also paved the way for the race to be included in the premier competition for alpine skiing. Marcel Hirscher has won three consecutive races in the men's event. Croatian skiers never finished better than second in the event. In the women's race, Janica Kostelić finished third in 2006, while Ana Jelušić finished second the following year. The all-time leader at Zagreb is Marlies Schild, with four wins and six podium finishes. In the men's race Ivica Kostelić has four podium finishes, three second places and one third place.
In 2013, Mikaela Shiffrin became the youngest winner at the age of 17 years, 9 months, and 23 days. In 2014, the race was cancelled due to lack of snow. Shiffrin, reigning Olympic champion in slalom, defended her crown in 2015.
