World Junior Speed Skating Championships

In 1971, when the ISU had a congress they decided to hold a World Junior Speed Skating Championships. After 2 test-championships (1972 and 1973), where only boys where allowed to skate, the first official championship was introduced in Cortina d'Ampezzo. In this championship boys and girls can enter. Since this championship the World Junior Speed Skating Championships are held every year.
