VANCOUVER, CAN

2001 World Championships (USFSA)

The number of entrants per country is based on the placements received at the prior World Championships.

Each country's skating federation determines which athletes will be chosen to attend the Worlds Championships. It is possible for a federation to send fewer athletes than the maximum qualified by the country, based on the minimum requirements mandated by that particular skating federation. In that instance the next qualifying country has the option to take the vacated spot.

The Mens and Womens events have qualifying rounds which count for 20% of the total score. The qualifying events are split evenly between the competitors into two groups by random draw (A group and B group). A competitor must finish 15th or higher in qualifying to compete in the short program. The competition is pared down again from the combined results of the qualifying and short programs. A skater must finish in the top 24 to compete in the free skate.

Sarah Abitbol and Stephane Bernadis of France withdrew from the competition due to injury. Bernadis developed a tear of a right abdominal muscle during the short program.

During qualifying, Michele Kwan had problems when the heel of her boot separated from the soleplate. She was able to have the skate repaired and finished the qualifying event in first place for Group A.
