Pairs Olympic champions Valova / Vasiliev led after the short program, followed by Underhill / Martini and Selezneva / Makarov. Underhill / Martini placed first in the free skating and won Canada's first world figure skating title since Karen Magnussen in 1973.

Two pairs withdrew before the free skating – Massari / Azzola, due to Massari's recurring knee problem, and Watson / Lancon, due to Lancon's back injury from a fall in the short program.
