The 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, from 23 October until 1 November 2015. The event will bring together more than 500 gymnasts from over 80 countries around the world, for ten days of exhilarating competition in the stunning SSE Hydro Arena, a venue that bore witness to some of the most exciting moments of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The competition schedule will comprise four days of qualification events followed by six days of finals where gymnasts will compete in team, all-around and individual apparatus events.
This year the world’s best gymnasts will not only compete to become World Champions, but also to secure their places for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
