Notable Moments
- The Americans won their second World team title. Incidentally, all of their World team titles were won the year before the Olympics.
- USA's Shawn Johnson became the fourth American to win the World All-Around title, following Kim Zmeskal, Shannon Miller, and Chellsie Memmel.
- Russia's Ksenia Semenova became the first Russian World Champion since Svetlana Khorkina in 2003.
- France's Cassy Vericel became the second French gymnast to win a World medal on floor exercise, following Ludivine Furnon.
Controversies
- During the last rotation in the team final, Russia was on vault. Ekaterina Kramarenko balked on her vault attempt as a result of being off-step. To avoid injury, she did not perform her vault and slowed down before she hit the apparatus, stepping onto the springboard and touching the vault table. Thinking she would be able to perform another vault, Kramarenko walked back down the runway but was escorted off the floor. The judges immediately gave her a score of "0", which was counted as one of three scores for the team's vaulting apparatus. This score was assigned in observation of section 8.1 of the WAG Code of Points, which states that a gymnast is not allowed a second attempt if she has touched the springboard or vault itself in any way on her first attempt, and with which coaches and gymnasts are expected to be familiar. The Russian team petitioned that Kramarenko's qualification score of 13.725 be able to carry over as a mock-compulsory score, but were refused. In another petition to have Russian team members Yulia Lozhecko and Elena Zamolodchikova's vaulting scores averaged and then counted, Russia was again refused. When asked to comment on the incident, Russian coach Andrei Rodionenko explained, "Nobody knows what happened, it was a shock for everyone."
- During the medal ceremony for the team final, the national anthem for the USA was abruptly cut short, causing frustration for the coaches and athletes alike.
