The Aerobic Union Bulgaria invites from 18th to 20 March into the Universiada Hall of Sofia (Bulgaria) to the 'SUPRAVIT Bulgarian Aerobics Open', an FIG World Series Competition. It is the first Aerobic tournament this year and also the first international contest with the new directions of the FIG, the 'Codo of Points'. Parallel to this World Cup of the B-category also take place International Youth Championships.

Tiia Piili, twice Aerobic world champion (FISAF), was selected to the 'Aerobic athlete of the year 2004' by the Finnish Sports Federation. The 25-year-old counts as that momentarily most successful representative of Sports Aerobics. She missed the victory in the total evaluation of all Finnish athletes tightly (124 points) behind the alpine skier Tanja Poutiaiselle (145 points).
