There will be preliminaries for Solo, Duet and Team; Combination is held as finals.

Russia, Ukraine, Japan, USA, Italy, Canada and China are the countries with the most athletes in this four-day elite-level competition, which is held every four years in September.

Competition will be fierce, with host China being a strong contender in the discipline since its prowess at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and other consistent nations, such as the United States, Ukraine, Brazil, Great Britain and Italy, which also have solid assets to make their mark at the World Cup.
