39th World Artistic Gymnastics Championships were held in Aarhus, Denmark from October 13 to October 21, 2006 in NRGi Arena.
It was the first time the World Gymnastics Championships was organized by a Danish city. The International Gymnastics Federation, which celebrated the 125th anniversary of its foundation in 2006, introduced the new Code of Points into the World Championships for the first time. The new code breaks the limit of "perfect" 10 points. Finally, it's the first time an italian gymnast, Vanessa Ferrari, considered the best italian women gymnast ever, won the all-around competition at the age of 15 years.
