Olympic gymnastics team event sizes will be cut from five gymnasts to four starting with the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, according to an International Gymnastics Federation official.
“The team format will be four gymnasts, four compete on each appataus [sic], and three scores count,” was posted on FIG men’s technical committee president Steve Butcher‘s Facebook account. “The best countries will be able to qualify up to two individual gymnasts also through World Cups, Challenge Cups, and Continental Championships. There are many other formulas for AA [all-around] gymnasts to qualify outside of the teams. The final details are still to be worked out, but the format is now set.
