Drawing of Lots for the 2009 Artistic Worlds

This month the drawing of lots for the 41st Artistic Gymnastics World Championships (October 13 - 18, London) was held in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The draw was conducted at the FIG Head Office in presence of Men's Technical Committee President Adrian Stoica (ROU), Women's Technical Committee delegate Donatella Sacchi (ITA) and FIG Competition Manager Céline Cachemaille for Artistic.
At that time the FIG had registered the participation of 75 federations represented by 457 athletes; a total of 283 men and 174 women.


Competitions will be held in the spectacular O2 Arena, one of London's finest concert and sporting venues.


An incredible hall offers gymnasts flawless conditions in which to compete, and it is here that the 2012 Olympic events will unfold, making these world championships into somewhat of an Olympic dress rehearsal.
The 41st World Championships will be organised by British Gymnastics.
