The TOP gymnast on each of the 6 apparatus will earn an individual spot in Paris.
But only those gymnasts whose team has not qualified are eligible. Individual AA qualified gymnasts are also not eligible. (Yulo took a zero on Vault so didn’t make it in the AA.)
IF all named gymnasts compete, there is only ONE eligible on Floor and Vault.
Here are Spencer’s predictions. It won’t be official until after the Apparatus Finals.
Floor: CARLOS YULO (Phillipines)
Horse: Whoever places best in the final among McClengaghan, Abu Al Soud, Lee CK, and Merdinyan
Rings: Whoever places best in the final among Petrounias, Simonov, Hoeck, Avetisyan, and V Davtyan
Vault: KEVIN PENEV (Bulgaria)
PBars: Carlos Yulo also ended up as the top non-qualified athlete here, so I’ll have to see whether they go down to Kuavita in 23rd on the list here, or Ryu Sunghyun in 20th on floor
High Bar: Whoever places best in the final between Srbic and Nory
NOTE ➙ Unlike the Tokyo Olympics, if Yulo qualifies from Floor, he can compete as many apparatus as he likes in Paris. He can do the AA. He could possibly medal in the AA.
