Gymnastics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

This article describes the qualifying phase for gymnastics at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Qualification will be based on the results of the three world gymnastics championships (rhythmic, artistic and trampoline) held in autumn 2015, and Olympic Test Events to be held in early 2016 at the HSBC Arena. In addition, the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique and the IOC Tripartite Commission for Gymnastics allocate places to ensure certain minimum levels of representation.
