2024 U.S. Gymnastics Olympic Trials: Schedule, athletes, how to watch

With the 2024 Summer Olympics approaching, USA Gymnastics will select the men and women who will compete at the Olympics. The selection will take place at the U.S. Gymnastics Olympic Trials. Athletes were selected to participate in the trials based on their performances at the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Championships or via petition.

The trials will take place over four nights, two nights of the men’s competition and two nights of the women’s competition. Women compete on four apparatus, while men compete on six. Most of the gymnasts will compete in the all-around, but some event specialists will participate, as well.

20 men and 16 women will participate in the Olympic Gymnastics Trials. Five women and five men will make up the Olympic teams. Alternates will also be chosen.
