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]
