Skate Celje is part of a series of the European Criterium inter-club figure skating competitions. This event generally takes place in November and was first held during the 2002-03 season.
Terry Kubicka was the first American to land the triple Lutz in competition (1974 U.S. Championships). He is also the first and only skater to perform a legal backflip in competition at the 1976 Olympics. It was later banned from future competitions.
