Gymnastics at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics

Artistic Gymnastics

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of 2 athletes, 1 per each gender. Athletes can qualify their nations in one of five continental qualification tournaments. The host quota was not given to China because they qualified 2 athletes at the 2014 Asian Championships. Initially 6 spots, 3 in each gender was allocated to the Tripartite Commission, however only two spots were given; this will cause a reduction from the continental quota depending which continent the chosen athlete is from. Due to the lack of eligible athletes at the African Championships one male athlete quota was transferred to Europe.

To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics male athletes must have been born between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 1998 while female athletes must have been born between 1 January 1999 and 31 December 1999. Also athletes who have participated in FIG senior competitions or multisport games may not participate in the Youth Olympic Games

Rhythmic Gymnastics

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of 1 individual athlete and 1 group of 5 athletes. Each continent will qualify one group through five continental qualification tournaments along with China as hosts. China however, declined its spot and it was reallocated to the next best ranked Asian team. Oceania also declined to use its continental quota and the spot was reallocated to the next best team from Europe. Individual athletes can qualify their nations in one of five continental qualification tournaments. Despite being hosts China did not select an athlete to compete in this event. Initially 2 spots were allocated to the Tripartite Commission, however none were given.
