The opening ceremony was held at the Philharmonic of Bratislava. The Chairman of the organising committee was Miroslav Červenka. In the ladies' single skating withdrew before the opening ceremony Sonja Balun from Austria and Zsuzsa Homolya from Hungary. [2]

Irina Rodnina won her first World title with her new partner, Aleksandr Zaytsev after her previous partner, Aleksey Ulanov, chose to skate with Lyudmila Smirnova. Rodnina/Zaitsev's music stopped during their short program, possibly due to a Czech worker acting in retaliation for the suppression of the Prague Spring. [3]
