Rules

Three distances have to be skated:

One could only win the World Championships by winning at all three distances, so there would be no World Champion if no skater won all three distances.

The winner of the distances was decided by a final of the best four skaters of the distance. If the same time was skated a skate-off is skated to decide the ranking.

Silver and bronze medals were not awarded.
