Trampoline Gymnastics - Drawing for Pre-Olympic Testevent

* fig-news --: The drawing of lots for April's Aquece Rio Test Event, the final opportunity for gymnasts to qualify to compete at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games, was held Wednesday at FIG Headquarters in Lausanne (SUI).
The draw determines the rotation order for each country in the competition, which can play a big role in the strategy of gymnasts.

Aquece Rio Test Event

♦♦ In Trampoline Gymnastics, 13 male and 16 female gymnasts qualified to the Test Event from the 2015 Worlds in Odense (DEN).
The top five from the qualification round at the Test Event will earn their country the right to send a gymnast to Rio. Top performers from the 2015 World Championships have also been invited to compete, rounding out the field.

"The Test Event is very important," said Nellie Kim, President of the FIG Women's Artistic Technical Committee. “It is the final chance for teams that finished out of the top eight at the World Championships to qualify for the Games. For individuals who have not qualified, they too will take this opportunity to do everything they can to earn a place at the Olympics.”
All the Presidents of the FIG Technical Committees whose disciplines are part of the Olympic programme (Men's and Women's Artistic Gymnastics, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Trampoline Gymnastics), participated in the draw.

Berths won at the Test Event are nominative in Artistic and Rhythmic Gymnastics for individual gymnasts, and non-nominative in Trampoline Gymnastics.

→ Trampolinists who qualify at the Test Event win a spot for their national federations, who will name their Olympian closer to the Games.
