[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With its masterpieces made of crystal, Roga\u0161ka is present across all continents of the world. Handcrafted masterpieces by Roga\u0161ka were given as a gift to a number of state leaders, important businesspersons, celebrities and other influencers. Crystal trophies and prizes are an important part of the top-level sports. It might be of interest to you that trophies for Golden Fox, Planica and Vitranc Cup have been made by the skilful hands of the masters glassmakers from Roga\u0161ka. Also in Croatia, which has been hosting an alpine skiing world cup competition since 2005, the best male and female skiers are awarded an original crystal crown.<\/p>\n

Roga\u0161ka has been handcrafting the trophy for the best skiers performing at Sljeme in Croatia since 2005, when the first world cup competition was organised in Zagreb, called \u201cZlatni medvjed\u201d (The Golden Bear). At the time, the unbeatable Janica Kosteli\u0107 was the front-runner, but, to the dismay of the domestic fans, she did not finish the first run. In 2006, the organisers decided to rename the competition to \u201cSnje\u017ena kraljica\u201d (Snow Queen Trophy) to honour Janica Kosteli\u010d; her world cup wins contributed to the popularisation of skiing in Croatia.<\/p>\n

For Roga\u0161ka, handcrafting the crystal crown is a challenge, responsibility, as well as honour. In 2008, male competitors joined their female counterparts, featuring a strong Croatian competitor Ivica Kosteli\u0107. So, Roga\u0161ka made two crystal crowns each year since 2008 \u2013 one for the best female slalom skier and one for the best male slalom skier.<\/p>\n
