Additionally, nations falling just short of team qualification can still claim individual quota places. The three highest-ranked nations each earn one spot, with the gymnast representing their country decided internally. In the finals, the highest-ranking gymnast in each division earns a spot by name, and their field at the Olympics. This comprehensive system ensures fairness and healthy competition. Which is offering multiple pathways for gymnasts to achieve their Olympic dreams,  while keeping clear regulations.
