Actual 4-6-1947: WC on ice skatingBoil for 10 seconds. The 1947 World Figure Skating Championships went in the style of all previous major races this year. The highlight was undoubtedly the 10,000 meters where Sverre Farstad from Trønder fought against Finn Lassi Parkkinen. The grandstand was full of excitement during the entire race, but the trønder was unable to hang on to Parkkinen. Farstad spent exactly 10 seconds too much, and it became Finnish world champion.
