1963世界花样滑冰锦标赛 1963 World Figure Skating Championships

The 1963 competitions for men, ladies, pairs and ice dancing took place February 28th to March 3rd, 1963 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. The competition was held in the open-air ice stadium, with events running as late as 1 or 2am, by which time it was very cold. This caused the ice to become hard and brittle, as well as causing discomfort to those in attendance.

Perhaps due to the poor ice conditions, the men's competition was marred by many falls. Both the winner Donald McPherson and second-place finisher Alain Calmat fell on triple loop attempts, but neither Manfred Schnelldorfer norKarol Divín, who had been placed 1-2 after the compulsory figures, performed well in the free skating.

Marika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Baumler won the pair competition, although some questioned whether some of their lifts, including a "triple axel lift" (an axel lasso lift with 3.5 rotations), were legal under the ISU rules of the time. The Canadian team of Debbi Wilkes and Guy Revell had to withdraw after Wilkes suffered a head injury in a fall while posing for press photos.

Disaster also struck the American dance team Yvonne Littlefield and Peter Betts. They placed 9th in the compulsory dances, but in the free dance Betts's blade came unscrewed from the boot and they were unable to finish their program. Meanwhile, the defending champions Eva Romanová and Pavel Roman came from behind to retain title after being defeated in the compulsory dances by the British team, Linda Shearman and Michael Phillips, who had also defeated the Romans at the European Championships earlier that year.

Defending champion Sjoukje Dijkstra also retained her title, building a big lead in the compulsory figures and following it with a good performance in the free skate, in which she now included a double lutz for the first time. Nicole Hassler, second in the free skate and third overall, had two strong double axels at the end of her program.The Japanese competitor Miwa Fukuhara, who finished 6th overall, included a triple salchow in her program.
