Tomas Gonzalez (CHI)
Following the Visa International Gymnastics Competition this week in London, the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique announced the artistic gymnastics qualifiers to this year’s Olympic Games.
Qualification for the 2012 Olympics saw a new two-part procedure implemented, with the top eight teams from qualifying at the 2011 Tokyo World Championships and Tokyo event final medalists whose teams did not qualifying in Tokyo or at the Test earning spots to the Olympics. The remaining four teams and individual competitors were determined at the Test Event.
Three spots are still to be determined in both the men’s and women’s field: two to ensure representation for all continents (Africa is not otherwise represented) and one for the Tripartite Commission Invitation.
Following are the artistic qualifiers to the 2012 Olympic Games.
