Paris 2024 qualification system

Artistic, Rhythmic and Trampoline Gymnastics.

A total of 318 athletes – 192 in Artistic, 94 in Rhythmic and 32 in Trampoline …

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.

NOTE – These new Technical Regulations eliminate about 100 individual participants for 2022 and 2023 compared with last cycle.

Switzerland calls for ban of Russia & Belarus officials

“Athletes from Russia and Belarus together with their support staff have already been punished and excluded from all international competitions.

However, the consequences must be borne by everyone in the sport system – including the officials. Therefore, we call upon the FIG and European Gymnastics to immediately and until further notice exclude all Russian and Belarusian officials and to relieve them of their functions.”

You might have seen her name in the news. Husband Alisher Usmanov was once Russia’s richest oligarch. The European Union recently blacklisted Usmanov, imposing an EU-wide travel ban and freezing all his assets. Usmanov’s $600m superyacht was seized by the German government.
