Background
editThis was the 20th appearance of the event, after making its debut at the 1952 Summer Olympics. Both the 2020 gold medalist Nina Derwael and bronze medalist Sunisa Lee qualified for the event finals. It was the only event both Simone Biles and Rebeca Andrade did not qualify for.
Qualification
editA National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter up to 5 qualified gymnasts. A total of 95 quota places are allocated to women's artistic gymnastics.[3]
The 12 teams that qualified were able to send 5 gymnasts in the team competition, for a total of 60 of the 95 quota places. The top three teams at the 2022 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships (the United States, Great Britain, and Canada) and the top nine teams (excluding those already qualified) at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships (China, Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Japan, Australia, Romania, and South Korea) earned team qualification places.
The remaining 35 quota places are awarded individually. Each gymnast can only earn one places. These places are filled through various criteria based on the 2023 World Championships, the 2024 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup series, continental championships, a reallocation guarantee and a Tripartite Commission invitation.
Each of the 95 qualified gymnasts are eligible for the uneven bars competition, but many gymnasts do not compete in each of the apparatus events.
Competition format
editThe top 8 qualifiers in the qualification phase (limit two per NOC) advanced to the apparatus final. The finalists performed on the uneven bars again. Qualification scores were then ignored, with only final round scores counting.
