Ladies

The U.S. became the first nation to ever sweep the ladies' podium at a World Championships.

Midori Ito and Laetitia Hubert collided with each other during a practice session. In the short program, Ito stumbled over an opening in the boards and into a camera but was back on the ice after three seconds. Tonya Harding became the first American woman to perform a triple axel at an international event.
