FIG: Announcement on the Paris 2024 Olympic Qualification System

* f i g --: The Olympic qualification systems for ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS, RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS and TRAMPOLINE GYMNASTICS for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games have now been published following approval by the Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) earlier this month:
A total of 318 athletes (192 in artistic gymnastics, 94 in gymnastics and 32 in trampoline) will compete for the medals in the French capital. With the qualification process set to begin in the coming months, the FIG would like to outline here the key events and key elements to consider on the road to Paris...
 

♦♦ Artistic Gymnastics

  • Available places: 96 male gymnasts + 96 female gymnasts
  • Venue:  Bercy Arena
  • Dates: 27 July–5 August

The qualifying path has been simplified compared to that for the Tokyo 2020 Games. The main changes concern the number of gymnasts per team, with a return to a maximum of five gymnasts, who can take part in both the team and individual competitions. Also, while a country that qualifies for the team event may no longer win any additional individual spots above the five places it has already obtained, a country that has not qualified a team can earn up to three places for the individual competitions.

The first places will be awarded in Liverpool, United Kingdom, at the World Championships, scheduled to take place from 29 October to 6 November 2022, where the three medal-winning countries in the team competition will pick up five tickets each to Paris.

Most of the places for the Olympic team and individual competitions will be at stake one year later, at the 2023 Worlds in Antwerp, Belgium. The Qualifications will be instrumental at three levels. At the end of the Qualifications, the nine remaining team places will be awarded and the three next-best-ranked eligible countries will get one non-nominative place. In addition, the All-Around Qualifications’ results will enable eight male gymnasts and fourteen female gymnasts to get their Olympic tickets. The Apparatus finals will be an opportunity for the specialists with places for the top eligible gymnasts in each apparatus final.

The specialists will have another opportunity with the Apparatus World Cup series in 2024. The two best eligible women and men on each apparatus from the Olympic Qualification World Cup Ranking List –  based on their best three results out of four in the series – will be Paris-bound.

The last qualifying opportunity will come at the 2024 continental championships, with one All-Around individual place at stake for contenders at each continental event.

Worth noting …
As the host nation, France is allocated a number of guaranteed places, which will be awarded to other countries if French athletes fill this quota through the qualifying process. There are also a few universality places reserved for gymnasts from under-represented countries, which will be selected by a tripartite commission for the Olympic movement a few months before the start of the Games.
