1898 World Figure Skating Championships
The World Figure Skating Championships is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union in which figure skaters compete for the title of World Champion.
The competition took place on February 15 in London, United Kingdom.
The winners of previous championships, Gustav Hügel and Gilbert Fuchs, were placed second and third after the Swede Henning Grenander, and filed a protest against the biased refereeing. Judges Adams, Jenkin, and von Rosen in their opinion strongly overestimated the Swede and Hügel and Fuchs demanded that he should be deprived of his title. The organizers considered the protest but rejected it as not substantiated. After this scandal, Grenander left figure skating and no longer performed at official competitions.Results
