Rhythmic Gymnastics Junior World Championships
Rhythmic gymnastics competition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics Junior World Championships,[1] are a rhythmic gymnastics competition organized by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG).
History
The inaugural edition was held in Moscow, Russia in July 2019.[2][3][4] Subsequent championships are then to be held biannually in odd numbered years from 2021 onwards.[5][6][7]
In May 2020, the FIG announced that there will be no Junior World Championships in 2021 in artistic or rhythmic gymnastics. FIG's executive committee reasoned the decision was made "to avoid overloading the 2021 calendar". The next Junior Worlds were held in 2023.
To be eligible for the championships, girls must be between 14 and 15 years of age[citation needed] (previously between 13 and 15).[5][6]
The programme of the junior worlds comprises eight disciplines, with eight sets of medals at stake.[6]
