QUALIFICATION SYSTEM
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Qualification is based on the results of the 2007 World Championships. Places are allocated to NOCs
and not to the gymnasts, with the exception of places 14 to 16.
SYSTEM IN DETAIL
This system applies to both men and women.
Places 1 - 8: places are allocated to the NOCs (a maximum of 2 places per NOC) according to
the individual ranking of their gymnasts in the finals of the 2007 World
Championships.
Places 9 - 13: places are allocated to the NOCs (a maximum of one place per NOC) which are
not represented in places 1 to 8, according to the ranking of their gymnasts in the
qualifying round in the 2007 World Championships.
Places 14 - 15: 2 final qualification places, allocated by the FIG Executive Committee in
agreement with the Technical Committee – Trampoline (in the following priority
order):
- to ensure that the host nation of the Olympic Games is represented by one
woman or one man (when it is not represented in places 1 to 13), on the
condition that he/she has participated in the 2007 World Championships. This
place will be granted to the best ranked gymnast in the 2007 World
Championships
- to ensure that at least 4 continents are represented at the Olympic Games. If
such a final qualification place must be allocated, it will be given to the best
ranked woman or man of the respective Continent at the 2007 World
Championships.
Place 16: an “Invitation” from the Tripartite Commission (IOC – ANOC – FIG) will be
available to the NOCs which meet the eligibility criteria, either for a man or a
woman.
The deadline for NOCs to submit their requests for Tripartite Commission
Invitation places is 15 November 2007. The Tripartite Commission will confirm, in
writing, a preliminary allocation of Invitation places to the NOCs by 31 January
2008. The allocation of remaining Invitation places will be confirmed, in writing, to
the NOCs by July 2008.
All places which are not granted according to the criteria above will be granted according to the same
criteria as those applicable to places 9 to 13, in order to increase the number of gymnasts from NOCs
not represented at the Olympic Games on the basis of the other criteria.
