Commonly called "World Juniors" and "Junior Worlds", they are an annual figure skating competition in which elite figure skaters compete for the title of World Junior Champion. The event will crown the World Junior Champions in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.
The competition will be open to skaters from ISU Member Nations who have reached the age of 13 by July 1, 2008, but have not yet turned 19. The upper age limit for men competing in pairs and dance is 21.
The term "Junior" refers to the age level rather than necessarily the skill level. Therefore, some of the skaters competing have competed nationally and internationally at the senior level, but are still age-eligible for World Juniors. Regardless of whether they have competed as seniors, all competitors perform programs that conform to the ISU rules for junior level competition in terms of program lengths, jumping passes, etc.
It is provisionally scheduled to take place between February 23 and March 1, 2009 in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
