Olympic qualification
15 places for the Individual Competition and 10 places for the Group Competition at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games will be attributed directly based on the results of this competition. These places are non-nominative, meaning National Federations have the right to name the gymnasts who will represent them at the Olympic Games.
The top 15 individuals in the All-around final (C-II), will obtain an Olympic berth for their countries.
In the same way, the top eight Groups in the All-around competition will also qualify. An additional two Olympic berths will be attributed to Groups, keeping in mind that a minimum of three continents must be represented among the 10 Groups who advance to the Olympics from the World Championships. In other words, if the top 10 Groups at the World Championships are all from European countries, the top eight will advance directly to the Games, while the 9th and 10th qualifying spots will go to the highest placing Groups hailing from Africa, the Americas, Asia or Oceania.
Many of the gymnasts and Groups that do not qualify directly to the Olympic Games from the 2015 World Championships will have a second chance at the Olympic Games Test Event in April 2016.
