Competition notes

Due to the large number of participants, the men's and ladies' qualifying groups and the ice dancing compulsory dance were split into groups A and B. Ice dancers in both groups performed the same compulsory dance. The compulsory dance was the Austrian Waltz.

Michelle Kwan won her fifth and final world championship, the most of any ladies skater since 1960.
