f i g --: The Olympic qualification systems for RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS, ARTISTIC 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.
♦ Rhythmic Gymnastics
The first opportunities for rhythmic gymnasts to qualify will come in Sofia, Bulgaria, with the World Championships from 14 to 18 September 2022. The medallists in the individual and group competitions will win places for their countries at the Paris 2024 Games.
The largest proportion of Olympic quotas will be allocated one year later in Valencia, Spain, during the 2023 Worlds. At the end of the qualification competitions, fourteen places for the individual competition and five for the group competition will be awarded to eligible countries.
The 2024 continental championships will offer the last chance, with one place up for grabs at each championship, both for individual gymnasts and for the groups.

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.
