The 2011 World Junior Figure Skating Championships was an international figure skating competition during the 2010–11 season. Commonly called "World Juniors" and "Junior Worlds", the event crowned the World Junior Champions in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.
The event took place in Gangneung, South Korea from 28 February to 6 March 2011. It was a qualification event for the figure skating events at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics.
The competition was open to skaters from ISU Member Nations who were at least 13 but not 19—or 21 for male pair skaters and ice dancers—before July 1, 2010 in their place of birth. National associations selected their entries according to their own criteria.
The term "Junior" in ISU competition refers to age, not skill level. Skaters may remain age-eligible for Junior Worlds even after competing nationally and internationally at the senior level. At junior events, the ISU requires that all programs conform to junior-specific rules regarding program length, jumping passes, types of elements, etc.
Based on the results of the 2010 World Junior Championships, the ISU allowed each country one to three entries per discipline. Countries which qualified more than one entry in a discipline:
If not listed above, one entry was allowed.
201 athletes from 48 countries are scheduled to participate.
China's Sui Wenjing / Han Cong won the pairs' title for the second year in a row. Switching their 2010 placements, Russia's Ksenia Stolbova / Fedor Klimov took the silver medal and Japan's Narumi Takahashi / Mervin Tran the bronze.
