The 1991 World Figure Skating Championships were held in Munich on March. Medals were awarded in men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.
Kurt Browning won his third world championship in a row. Elvis Stojko (CAN) lands the first quad in combination, the first quadruple toe loop-double toe loop combination, at the World Championships.
The U.S. became the only nation to ever sweep the ladies' podium at a World Championships.
Midori Ito and Laetitia Hubert collided with each other during a practice session. In the short program, Ito stumbled over an opening in the boards and into a camera but was back on the ice after three seconds.
The judges voted two couples (from Czechoslovakia and Poland) exactly the same (each 12 placings in compulsory dance 2).
