World Figure Skating Championships

The 1961 edition scheduled for Praha (TCH) was cancelled due to the flight crash that killed the entire United States figure skating team near Bruxelles on 15 February 1961.

The 2020 edition scheduled for Montréal (CAN) from 16 to 22 March was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
