The 33rd Artistic Gymnastics World Championships were held in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1997.
The 1997 Worlds were notable because they were the first major contest to be held after the elimination of compulsory exercises. For this competition, tie-breaker policies were used. When scores were identical, the gymnast with the higher score in the preliminary round was awarded the higher placement in finals.
