Lev Aronion just won the World Rapid Chess Championship. What is the time control for Rapid Chess, 5 minutes?

Not sure which time control they used for the rapid chess world championship ( there are several) but they also had 5 second increments. G/15  G/20  G/25  G/30  are all rapid chess I believe.
