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]
