The competition was originally scheduled to be held 20–23 November. However, after the death of Francisco Franco on 20 November, no events could be held until after his funeral, which was scheduled for 23 November. The competition instead began immediately after his funeral and was extended to the evening of the 24th.Hoyman Annelis Strange December 1975 VII World Championships in Modern Rhythmic Gymnastics https://issuu.com/usagymnastics/docs/1975_6dec 2025-05-20 USGF News 34-36 14 countries participated; 11 (all but Israel, New Zealand, and the United States) sent groups, and 37 individuals competed. Great Britain and Switzerland sent gymnasts for the first time. Groups competed with three balls and three ropes. The groups and gymnasts with the top six scores in the qualifying round advanced to the finals. No Communist countries attended the championships, meaning no gymnasts from any countries that medaled at the 1973 Championships (Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary) were in attendance, and North Korea also did not attend. Finnish gymnasts were originally entered into the competition, but they were told two days beforehand that they could not attend. Denmark declined to send gymnasts for financial reasons. During the competition, one judge was appointed specifically to watch for acrobatic elements, which were prohibited; many judges had difficulty understanding which elements counted as acrobatic, and some gymnasts had to change their routines before the competition to remove the prohibited elements. West Germany dominated the competition, winning 9 medals. West German Carmen Rischer won three individual medals, including the all-around, making her Germany's first World champion.Pohland Lukas 2022-09-16 Erster WM-Titel seit Erfolg einer Schwerterin vor 47 Jahren: WM der Rhythmischen Sportgymnastik https://meinschwerte.de/2022/09/16/erster-wm-titel-seit-erfolg-einer-schwerterin-vor-47-jahren-wm-der-rhythmischen-sportgymnastik/ 2025-05-20 MeinSchwerte de Fellow German Christiana Rosenberg won gold in the other two finals. In the hoop final, Midori Koriki was penalized one point because her hoop was weighed and shown to be too light. The crowd booed the result loudly, and other gymnasts brought her to the stage to be cheered for. During that final, another Japanese gymnast, Mitsuru Hiraguchi, won Japan's first World Championships medal, gold, tied with Rischer.2017-09-13 Rhythmic gymnast Minagawa ends Japan’s 42-year waitUnion https://agu-gymnastics.com/rhythmic-gymnast-minagawa-ends-japan-s-42-year-wait/ 2025-05-20 Asian Gymnastics Union en-US Medal table Place Country Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 FRG 5 4 0 9 2 JPN 1 1 0 2 3 ITA 1 0 0 1 4 ESP 1945 0 1 5 6 Individual Clubs Place Nation Name AA Score AF Score Total1FRGChristiana Rosenberg9.2509.35018.6002=FRGCarmen Rischer9.1509.35018.5002=ESP 1945María Jesús Alegre9.2509.25018.5004ITACristina Cammelli9.1509.20018.3505=FRGUte Barylla9.0508.90017.9505=JPNYoko Morino8.9509.00017.950 Ball Place Nation Name AA Score AF Score Total1FRGChristiana Rosenberg9.3509.25018.6002FRGCarmen Rischer9.1009.20018.3003ESP 1945María Jesús Alegre9.0509.20018.2504JPNMitsuru Hiraguchi9.0009.15018.1505JPNYoko Morino8.9009.20018.1006ITACristina Cammelli8.9508.95017.900 Ribbon Place Nation Name AA Score AF Score Total1FRGCarmen Rischer9.4509.50018.9502FRGChristiana Rosenberg9.4509.45018.9003ESP 1945Begoña Blasco9.2009.25018.4504=FRGUte Barylla9.1509.20018.3504=ESP 1945Africa Blesa9.2509.10018.3506ITAMarina Odorici9.0508.80017.850 Hoop Place Nation Name AA Score AF Score Total1=JPNMitsuru Hiraguchi9.1509.25018.4001=FRGCarmen Rischer9.4009.00018.4003ESP 1945María Jesús Alegre9.1509.10018.2504JPNYoko Morino9.1509.00018.1505FRGUte Barylla9.0009.10018.1006JPNMidori Koriki9.3508.35017.700 Individual All-Around Place Nation Name Clubs Ball Ribbon Hoop Total1FRGCarmen Rischer9.1509.1009.4509.40037.1002FRGChristiana Rosenberg9.2509.3509.4508.65036.7003ESP 1945María Jesús Alegre9.2509.0508.9009.15036.3504FRGUte Barylla9.0508.8509.1509.00036.0505JPNYoko Morino8.9508.9009.0009.15036.0006=ITACristina Cammelli9.1508.9508.9508.85035.9006=ITAMarina Odorici8.9508.9009.0509.00035.9008JPNMidori Koriki8.8508.908.6509.35035.7509=ESP 1945Africa Blesa8.7008.9009.2508.85035.7009=JPNMitsuru Hiraguchi8.6009.0008.9509.15035.70011ESP 1945Begoña Blasco8.6008.7509.2008.80035.35012ITASilvia d'Alberti8.5508.5008.4508.75034.25013CANShirley Lethinen8.2508.4008.5508.70033.90014=CANDoreen Chung8.4508.2508.5508.60033.85014=CANDenise Fujiwara8.9008.6007.8508.50033.85016BRAInes Oliveira8.3507.9508.6508.35033.30017FRAJosette Bellanger8.4507.8508.5008.35033.15018FRAPatricia Vanauld7.3008.4008.5508.50032.75019=BELCristine Delaporte8.2507.8508.3508.10032.50019=BELRita de Leenheer8.6507.6508.2507.95032.50021USAHelen Martinez8.2007.8008.2508.20032.45022AUTPetra Ovcaric8.0507.6008.2507.90031.80023USACandice Feinberg7.6508.0008.0008.05031.70024FRACatherine Bucheton7.9008.4008.4506.75031.50025BELBrita de Kimpe8.1007.2007.8508.15031.30026ISRBatia Masnikov8.4507.1007.5508.00031.10027NZLJanette Ralph8.1507.2007.9007.65030.90028=ISRIlanith Frankfurt7.6507.3507.9507.90030.85028=AUTDoris Kandler8.3007.2507.5507.75030.85030USAKathryn Brym8.0507.2007.4008.15030.80031=AUTEdith Haas7.9007.4507.7007.60030.65031=NZLJanice Heale7.9007.2007.7507.80030.65033ISRRecouvith Bloch7.0507.2507.8508.05030.20034NZLKaye Wilson7.7507.4506.7007.55029.45035GBRElisabeth Mann7.2506.4007.2507.75028.65036GBRBarbara Mould7.7005.8007.4007.60028.50037GBREileen Ward6.7505.7006.5006.30025.250 Groups Groups Final Place Nation Preliminary Score Final Score Total1ITA18.30018.65036.9502JPN17.95018.65036.6003ESP 194517.85018.20036.0504CAN16.65017.05033.7005FRG16.60016.80033.4006FRA16.65016.05032.700 Groups Preliminary Place Nation Score1ITA18.3002JPN17.9503ESP 194517.8504=CAN16.6504=FRA16.6506FRG16.6007BRA16.1008AUT15.9009BEL15.85010SUI15.65011GBR15.200 References Rhythmic World Championships Results https://usagym.org/pages/pressbox/history/worlds_results_rhy.html USA Gymnastics 4 July 2022 5 July 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190923/https://usagym.org/pages/pressbox/history/worlds_results_rhy.html dead Category:Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships Category:1975 in gymnastics Rhy Category:November 1975 sports events in Europe Category:International gymnastics competitions hosted by Spain Category:Sports competitions in Madrid
