And who might just beat the mythical Russian Pair, Anna Katchalova / Revaz Gurgenidze?
Silver medallists in 2004, Gold in 2005, these two artists literally seduced and set ablaze the public in Duisburg!
Certain insiders would agree that Anna and Revaz incarnate body expression and explode with communicative emotion. Everyone is excited about seeing their performance and feeling the rush of watching Acrobatic Gymnastics' best.
A First for Acro
The World Championships in Coimbra are a first for the discipline's judges; they'll have access to the new exercise visualisation system known as IRCOS by FIG.

The World Championships in Coimbra are a first for the discipline's judges; they'll have access to the new exercise visualisation system known as IRCOS by FIG.
The system was successfully implemented in Artistics and, recently, Aerobics. It is a tool for judges, which allows them to analyse sequences subjected to objection. More about that later.
