Qualification[edit]

Sixty-two gymnasts competed in the compulsory and optional rounds on 21 and 23 July. The six highest scoring gymnasts advanced to the final on 25 July. Each country was limited to two competitors in the final. Half of the points earned by each gymnast during both the compulsory and optional rounds carried over to the final. This constitutes the "prelim" score.
