This was the first World Championships under the new Code of Points that had come into effect in 2005. Execution had raised from accounting for a third of the score to half, and the penalty for dropping the apparatus had increased as well; however, the difficulty score was still the most important factor on determining the event winners, as the top gymnasts were given similar execution and artistry scores. A number of gymnasts had also competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics, showing a trend toward rhythmic gymnasts both competing and peaking in their late teens and early 20s.[1]

Although 2004 Olympic champion Alina Kabaeva was not named to the Russian team (though she attended the event as a representative for Longines),[2] Russian gymnasts dominated the competition, winning every gold medal in the individual events. Olga Kapranova won the all-around title and every apparatus title except ribbon, which Vera Sessina won instead. Ukrainian Anna Bessonova won silver in every individual event.[1]

The Russian group won their fourth consecutive World all-around title.[3] The two apparatus finals were more hotly contested; the Italian group won gold in the mixed apparatus final with a routine that demonstrated excellent synchronization and kept the apparatuses in constant motion.[1] The Bulgarian group won the five ribbons final, their first gold at the World Championships since the 1996 World Championships.[4]

The Longines Prize for Elegance was awarded to Irina Tchachina.[1][2]
