Karl Schäfer Memorial

(Redirected from Asko Cup)

The Karl Schäfer Memorial (also known as the Asko Cup, Vienna Cup, and Vienna Trophy) was an annual figure skating competition held in Vienna, Austria. The competition was named in honor of Karl Schäfer, an Austrian skater who was a two-time Winter Olympic gold medalist (in 1932 and 1936), seven-time world champion (1930–1936), eight-time European champion (1929–1936), and seven-time Austrian national champion (1929–1934, 1936).[1] Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance, although each discipline may not have necessarily been held every year.
