1978 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships




The 19th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships were held in Strasbourg, France, in 1978 from October 23 to October 29.


A new rule was introduced allowing eight gymnasts to compete in each of the apparatus finals, rather than six.


A video control system was installed near each apparatus to help judges in disputable situations.[1] The system had first been used at the 1977 European Championships.
