The 2007 World Junior Figure Skating Championships is an annual figure skating competition. The event is open to figure skaters from ISU member nations who have reached the age of 13 by July 1 of the previous year, but have not yet turned 19. The upper age limit for men competing in pairs and dance is 21. Skaters compete in four disciplines: men's singles, ladies singles, pairs, and ice dance.
The term "Junior" refers to the age level rather than 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.
The 2007 competition took place in Oberstdorf, Germany from February 27 to March 4.
The compulsory dance was the Silver Samba.[1]
