Artistic gymnastics consists of a series of individual competitions in various disciplines, as well as a team competition.

Gymnasts showcase their technical skills across a range of equipment - vaulting horse, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercises for the women, while the men compete across the pommel horse, vaulting horse, rings, parallel bars and the horizontal bars.

The competition will take place inside the grassy, pyramidal walls of the Bercy centre, and will begin with nerve-wracking qualifiers in which competitors will need to balance the complexity of the routines against the duration of the event - peak too soon and there’s nothing left to wow the judges in the final; keep too much in the bag and they may not qualify.

Gymnasts are no longer scored using the traditional 10-point system, which is now seen as lacking nuance.

Instead, judges will assess the athletes moves using separate Difficulty and Execution scores.

The D score starts at zero, and points ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 are awarded to the moves the gymnast incorporates into their routine. The E score, meanwhile, starts at 10 and has points deducted. The D and E scores are then combined to decide the winners.
