| The
first non official World Championship was celebrated
in Monza, Italy in 1937, but officially in 1966,
the skating world received with open arms, its
official World Championship in Mar del Plata,
Argentina at the Peralta Ramos Avenue, April
24 with the presence of Italy, Germany, England,
Spain, Belgium, New Zealand, Japan, United States,
Colombia, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.
The most significant
part of Worlds is rotating the championships at
different sites through the years. Italy and Argentina
are the few countries whom have hosted the Championships
several times. Through the years, the level of
competition and number of participating countries
have increased. Now, there are variations to the
Championship categories as well, which includes
track, marathon and that makes the event more
interesting. |
