The 1932 World Figure Skating Championships were the annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union in which figure skaters competed for the title of World Champion. The competitions took place from February 17 to 20 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The compulsory figures competition took place at the Montreal Winter Club, while the free skating was held at the city's landmark Montreal Forum.[1]
These were the first figure skating world championships in Canada, a choice of venue that corresponded with the hosting of the 1932 Winter Olympics in adjacent Lake Placid, New York. It was the third year in a row that all competitions were held at the same location and at the same time, and the first time that Japanese skaters participated.[1][2]
