What to Watch in the Olympic Women's Gymnastics Competition

The women’s gymnastics competition at the Olympics starts with the qualifications round this Sunday. Over the following week, there will be finals in the team, all-around, vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise events. The qualifications round consists of five subdivisions, with each subdivision including gymnasts from different countries. This round will determine the teams for the team final and the gymnasts for the all-around and apparatus finals. The ’two-per-country rule’ will be important, as only two gymnasts per country can qualify for each final. The United States is expected to win gold.
