FIG World Cup Final

FIG World Cup Final refers to a number of events organized by the International Gymnastics Federation across all five gymnastics disciplines: men's and women's artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, aerobic gymnastics, acrobatic gymnastics and trampoline.

At the FIG Council in Cape Town (RSA) in May 2008, the members decided no longer to run any World Cup and Series finals for all FIG disciplines from January 2009 onwads.[1]

Editions

The World Cup Finals were held as the final event of the World Cup Series for each of the disciplines in gymnastics until 2008. This does not mean, however, that each of the last stages of the World Cup circuit were considered to be World Cup Final events; the International Gymnastics Federation officially recognizes only a number of events as World Cup Final events, as shown below. Since 2009 no event has been officially considered to be a World Cup Final event.
