The women's floor event at the 2024 Summer Olympics is scheduled to take place on 28 July and 5 August 2024 at the Bercy Arena.[1] 76 gymnasts from 33 nations (of the 95 total gymnasts) competed on floor in the qualifying round.[2]
Background
[edit]This was the 20th appearance of the event, after making its debut at the 1952 Summer Olympics. 2016 champion Simone Biles qualified for the final for a third consecutive Olympics, however, only competed in the event final for a second time after pulling out of the 2020 final due to the twisties.[3] The defending gold medalist Jade Carey also competed in the qualifying round but did not advance after falling on one of her tumbling passes. She later revealed she had not been feeling well in the days leading up to qualification.[4]
Qualification
[edit]A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter up to 5 qualified gymnasts. A total of 95 quota places are allocated to women's artistic gymnastics.[5]
The 12 teams that qualified were able to send 5 gymnasts in the team competition, for a total of 60 of the 95 quota places. The top three teams at the 2022 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships (the United States, Great Britain, and Canada) and the top nine teams (excluding those already qualified) at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships (China, Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Japan, Australia, Romania, and South Korea) earned team qualification places.
The remaining 35 quota places are awarded individually. Each gymnast can only earn one place, except that gymnasts that competed with a team that qualified are eligible to earn a second place through the 2024 All Around World Cup Series. Some of the individual events are open to gymnasts from NOCs with qualified teams, while others are not. These places are filled through various criteria based on the 2023 World Championships, the 2024 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup series, continental championships, a reallocation guarantee and a Tripartite Commission invitation.
Each of the 95 qualified gymnasts are eligible for the floor competition, but many gymnasts do not compete in each of the apparatus events.
Competition format
[edit]The top 8 qualifiers in the qualification phase (limit two per NOC) advanced to the apparatus final. The finalists performed on the floor again. Qualification scores were then ignored, with only final round scores counting. Due to a tie in qualifying scores between Rina Kishi and Ana Bărbosu, 9 gymnasts advanced to the final round.

Results
[edit]Qualifying

Notes
[edit]- ^ Rina Kishi and Ana Bărbosu tied for eighth place on the floor exercise. Because they both had the same D-score (5.6) and the same E-score (8.000), the tie was unable to be broken, meaning nine gymnasts qualified for the floor exercise final
