1997–1998 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1997–1998 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup series was a series of stages where events in men's and women's artistic gymnastics were contested.[1] The International Gymnastics Federation revived the World Cup, an event which was not held since 1990, as a two-year long competition, culminating at a final event — the World Cup Final in 1998. A number of qualifier stages were held. The top 3 gymnast in each apparatus at the qualifier events would receive medals and prize money. Gymnasts who finished in the top 8 would also receive points that would be added up to a ranking which would qualify individual gymnasts for the biennial World Cup Final.
