Contents

The event had the highest number of registered athletes since the first World championships in 1995. Four events were contested: men's individual, women's individual, mixed pairs, and trios. Competitors from four different countries won the four events. The men's category was won by Jonathan Canada of Spain, who had competed only in mixed pairs for the previous three World Championships, which he won in 1996. He became the first aerobic gymnast to win gold in two different disciplines at the World Championships. In the mixed pairs competition, Valdislav Oskner and Tatiana Soloviova won their first of four consecutive titles together. The Hungarian trio won Hungary's first title at the Championships. [2]
