History
[edit]
The Pavel Roman Memorial is named in honor of Pavel Roman, who competed internationally in pair skating and ice dance for Czechoslovakia. With his sister Eva Romanová, they were four-time World Championship gold medalists in ice dance (1962–65),[2] two-time European Championship gold medalists in ice dance (1964–65),[3] and seven-time Czechoslovak national championships in ice dance (1959–65).[4] After retiring from competitive skating, Romanová and Roman toured with Holiday on Ice.[2] Roman died in a motorcycle crash in 1972.[2]
The Pavel Roman Memorial was first held in 1992 in Olomouc, in what was then Czechoslovakia. It was a continuation of the November 17th Cup (Czech: Poháru 17. listopadu), an earlier figure skating competition which dated back to 1968.[1] It had been thirty years since Romanová and Roman won their first World Championship title, and twenty years since Roman's death. Barbara Fusar-Poli and Alberto Reani of Italy won the competition.[5]
The dissolution of Czechoslovakia occurred on 31 December 1992, leading to the creation of two independent nations: the Czech Republic and Slovakia.[6] The 1993 Pavel Roman Memorial was the first to be held in the newly independent Czech Republic. Bérangère Nau and Luc Monéger of France were the winners.[7]
No competition was held from 1997 to 1999 after the Zimní stadion Olomouc was damaged during the 1997 Central European flood.[1]
