The 32nd Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships will be taking place from August the 28th until the 1st of September in Kiev, Ukraine. The competition will see both Senior Individuals and Senior Groups take to the floor in the Sports Palace. Find below the list of participants as per the Nominative Registrations which was published on the 11th of August. Find the schedule of the competition at: http://kiev2013.com/en/tickets/. It should be a massive competition which some big names scheduled to participate. However I personally am excited to see Namibia's Nicole Monique Bierbach on the Nominative list of participants. Notably missing from the competition are Individual gymnasts from New Zealand and Kyrgyzstan.
