A bitterly cold wind swept across the ice rink at Oslo's Frogner Stadium as thousands gathered to see the 1927 World Figure- skating Championships.
All the national champions of European countries were there. In the silk roped enclosure sat King Haakon, Queen Maud, Crown Prince Olov and other members of the Norwegian Royal Family.
