Gymnastics at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's artistic qualification


Qualifications for women's artistic gymnastic competitions at the 2012 Summer Olympics were held at the North Greenwich Arena on July 29. The results of the qualification determined the qualifiers to the finals: 8 teams in the team final, 24 gymnasts in the all-around final, and 8 gymnasts in each of 4 apparatus finals. The competition is divided to 5 subdivisions. The first subdivision took place at 09:30 British Summer Time (UTC+1); followed by the second, third, fourth and fifth subdivisions at 11:15, 14:45, 16:30 and 20:00 BST respectively.

Gymnasts from nations taking part in the team all-round event are grouped together while the other gymnasts are grouped into one of eight mixed groups. The groups were divided into the five subdivisions after a draw held by the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique. The groups rotate through each of the four apparatuses together.

The reserves for the beam event final are

Kyla Ross and Anastasia Grishina ranked ahead of the qualifiers, but cannot compete because of the two-per-country rule. Similarly, Larisa Iordache (ROU), Aliya Mustafina (RUS), Jordyn Wieber (USA) and Sandra Izbaşa (ROU) ranked 11th, joint 12th and 14th respectively but did not qualify as Reserves for this final due to teammates ranked above them.
