The 19th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships were held in Strasbourg, France, in 1978 from October 23 to October 29.
The new rule was introduced: eight gymnasts competed in each of the apparatus finals.
A video control system was installed near each apparatus to help judges in disputable situations.[1] For the first time it was used at the 1977 European Championships.
