2006 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships

39th World Artistic Gymnastics Championships were held in Aarhus, Denmark from October 13 to October 21, 2006 in NRGi Arena.

It was the first time the World Gymnastics Championships was organized by a Danish city.

The new code breaks the limit of "perfect" 10 points.
