2003 Bofrost Cup on Ice
The Bofrost Cup on Ice (previously Sparkassen Cup and Nations Cup) is a figure skating competition which takes place annually in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Figure skaters compete in four disciplines: ladies' singles, men's singles, pairs, and ice dancing. It was part of the Grand Prix series from its inception until 2003, when it was replaced by Cup of China. The 2003 competition was the first when it was not part of the Grand Prix. The 2003 competition debuted a new form of competition. Instead of a short program, singles and pairs perform a jumping and required elements contest, followed then by the long program. Ice dancers perform their original and free dances.
The 2003 Bofrost Cup on Ice took place between November 7 and 9 in the Emscher-Lippe-Halle.
