Thank you for this. This was the world championship that got me back into figure skating again after about a five year break.

This time its many of the US skaters that are missing especially the ladies SP...what's up America? Also how is it possible to not find Weaver Poje FD for 2008 WC - Blues for Klook?

What a night for Jeffery Buttle!!!

What a night for Jeffery Buttle!!!

What an incredible last group of men. So unique and very entertaining. The medals were truly earned.

The dance event was also magical. So many incredible, career making performances.

I liked all three Canadian couples in this event - such riches!
Dube/Davison, Duhamel/Buntin & Langlois/Hay
Savchenko & Szolkowy, quad throw for Kawaguchi & Smirnov, Volosozhar and Trankov with their previous partners, plus the Chinese pairs - a very strong event.

I went back and watched those performances from the skaters you referenced and agreed here, re a strong event. Thank you so much labgoat, for the time and your effort in putting this together. For me this was amazing!

Finally, all skaters and performances are found for 2008 Worlds!
Many thanks to the generous posters!! I could not have compiled these lists with all your contributions .

Among the unsung surprises - the Folk Dance Original Dance with the Australian couple O'Brien & Merriman performing an aboriginal dance, Navarro & Bommentre with an African dance, and the Woodchoppers dance by Canadian couple Hann-Curdy & Moreno. This Folk Dance idea for the SD was so well received that it was repeated for the Olympics later.

To finish up...here is the 2008 Worlds Gala Exhibition

Wished Jessica and Bryce had hung in there as a pair. I know they had a couple more years and The Way We Were at Nationals was special but nothing quite caught the potential as The Blower's Daughter.
