Irina Rodnina won her first World title with her new partner, Alexander Zaitsev after her previous partner, Alexei Ulanov, chose to skate with Lyudmila Smirnova. The music stopped during Rodnina/Zaitsev's free program but the pair successfully completed the program in silence and received a standing ovation.
