VI World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships, also known as the Modern Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships,[1] were held from 15 November to 18 November 1973 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.[2][3]

Event overview

27 countries entered gymnasts; 18 entered groups, and 24 entered individuals.[1] Each country could enter up to three individuals as well as a group, and a total of 63 gymnasts competed in the individual event.[4] Gymnasts from the United States competed for the first time.[1]

Five events were performed: individuals had compulsory clubs and ribbon routines and optional ball and hoop routines, while groups performed a routine with six ropes.[1] The gymnasts with the top six scores on each apparatus entered the event finals. There were two floor areas available for gymnasts to choose to perform on, one harder and one softer.[4]

During the officials' meetings, discussion items included the proposed European Championships and carrying out judges' courses on each continent. Princess Beatrix attended at least the first session.[1]

Maria Gigova won her third consecutive world title, which she shared with Galima Shugurova. Maria Patocska was the only competitor who had competed at every World Championships thus far.[4]
