In what city did the 2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships take place?

The 2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships took place in Antwerp, Belgium, from September 30 to October 6, 2013. Competitions were held at Antwerp’s Sports Palace.

The championships were especially important in Simone Biles’ rise to international prominence. In her senior World Championships debut, she won the women’s individual all-around title and added medals on vault, floor exercise and balance beam, finishing with four medals overall.

Antwerp also hosted a major achievement for Japan’s Kōhei Uchimura, who won his fourth consecutive men’s individual all-around world title. The event therefore became a landmark competition for two dominant gymnasts of the 2010s. It was the first World Championships held after the 2012 London Olympics and preceded the 2014 championships in Nanning, China.
