Figure skating in the formative years: singles, pairs, and the expanding role of women 2015 University of Illinois Press 978-0-252-09704-1 Urbana Rules for the precise event format and scoring were not yet established, and the event finish was controversial. The sponsor of the competition, the Berlin Skating Club, declared Henning Grenander the winner, while the merged German/Austrian federation declared Eduard Engelmann Jr. the winner. This came about because in point totals, Grenander came out just ahead (1988 points to Engelmann's 1987), but with half-points included, the result became a tie. Engelmann won the complsory figures, which served as the tiebreaker. Due to this controversy, the results of these Championships were declared invalid by the ISU Congress in 1895.
