Quick Facts Gymnastics at the II Summer Youth Olympic Games, Venue ...

Gymnastics at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics was held from 17 to 27 August at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre in Nanjing, China.

Qualification

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.[1] Due to the lack of eligible athletes at the African Championships one male athlete quota was transferred to Europe.[2]

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[1]

Despite being hosts China did not select an athlete to compete in this event.[2] Initially 2 spots were allocated to the Tripartite Commission, however none were given.[1]
