Historical Results From Pre-World War II World Championships

It's really not an overstatement to say that one of the biggest misconceptions in figure skating history are how ISU Championships worked prior to World War II. More often than not, World Championships for different disciplines were held at different times in different countries. As the organization of these events was left largely to the host club or federation, it was extremely common for these events to consist of multiple competitions. Both women's and pairs events were indeed held prior to the first ones that the ISU recognized, as were valsing (waltzing) and tenstep competitions - precursors to the first ice dance competitions at the World Championships in the early fifties. These records not only paint a more accurate picture of these competitions, but shed further light on some of the careers of the top skaters of the early twentieth century. 

These results were compiled from various sources, including British, Swiss, Austrian, German, Swedish, Norwegian and Hungarian newspaper archives and back issues of "Skating" magazine. A very special thank you to German skating historian Dr. Matthias Hampe for his generous assistance with the correct names and spellings of many of the German and Austrian skaters that are listed.

A few notes:
- A '*' next to a category denotes that it was a World Championship event.
- In many cases, you will see multiple events for the same discipline. It wasn't uncommon for organizers to hold one competition for a World title and another for senior skaters who didn't wish to compete for that title. 
- Many of these competitions were also held in conjunction with speed skating races, ice hockey games, which haven't been noted.
