The 2012 Gymnastics Olympic Test Event (also known as the Visa International Gymnastics for sponsorship reasons) took place between January 10 and January 18, 2012. The event qualifies four teams into the Olympics. It also qualifies 34 individual female gymnasts, those selected through the All Around competition. Teams that finished 17th to 24th on the 2011 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships may take 2 individuals to the test event. Teams that finished 1st to 8th are invited to send 2 individual gymnasts, who do not count as a candidate for an individual spot.

Format of Competition[]

The competition format was the same as at the Olympics. All participating gymnasts, including those who were not part of a team, participated in a qualification round. The qualification round also served as the team final. The top four teams would automatically qualify a full team to the Olympics. The results of the qualifications also determined which individuals participated in the event finals, in which the eight highest scoring individuals on each apparatus competed. Each country was limited to two gymnasts in each apparatus final.
