The 2017 FIG World Cup circuit in Rhythmic Gymnastics is a series of competitions officially organized and promoted by the International Gymnastics Federation.[1]
The main difference introduced in 2017 is that the World Cup series is now split in: 1) the World Cup series; and 2) the World Challenge Cup series. Previously, events at the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup series were divided in Category A and Category B; Category A events were reserved for invited athletes, while Category B events were open to all athletes. Also, there was no limit for the number of Category A and Category B meets each year. Now, there is a maximum of four World Cup events.[2] All of the World Cup and World Challenge Cup events are open to all athletes. Winners of the World Cup trophy were announced after the conclusion of the last event in the World Cup series, in Sofia, Bulgaria.[3]
With stopovers in Europe and Asia, the World Cup competitions were scheduled for April 7–9 in Pesaro (ITA), April 21–23 in Tashkent (UZB), April 28–30 in Baku (AZE), and May 5–7 in Sofia (BUL).
