The 1984 World Junior Figure Skating Championships were the World Junior Figure Skating Championships of the 1983-1984 figure skating season. 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 crowned the World Junior Champions in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.
The 1984 World Junior Championships were held between December 5 and 11, 1983 in Sapporo, Japan. The regular senior-level NHK Trophy competition was not held that year, the World Junior Championships being held in its stead.
Famous quotes containing the words world, junior, figure and/or skating:
“...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“The junior senator from Wisconsin, by his reckless charges, has so preyed upon the fears and hatreds and prejudices of the American people that he has started a prairie fire which neither he nor anyone else may be able to control.”
—J. William Fulbright (b. 1905)
“True maturity is only reached when a man realizes he has become a father figure to his girlfriends’ boyfriends—and he accepts it.”
—Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)
“Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go, and is only right admirable when to all its beauty and speed a subserviency to the will, like that of walking, is added.”
