## Women's team competition

Canada beat Brazil by 0.667 points, leading on vault, uneven bars and floor; Brazil had the best team score on balance beam. Mexico finished third. Ecuador and Costa Rica fielded three gymnasts rather than four, so all three of their scores counted on every apparatus.

| Nation | Vault | Uneven bars | Balance beam | Floor | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| 7. Costa Rica (CRC) | 36.433 | 25.900 | 31.400 | 34.667 | **128.400** |

No junior women from the United States appear on the sheets, so the women's events were decided between Brazil, Canada and Mexico at the top, with Guatemala and Argentina next among the teams.

## Medals by nation

Like every results table on this guide, this one lists medals by nation, not by gymnast. All-around medals follow the all-around ranking of 29 March; apparatus medals come from the eight-gymnast finals of 30 March.

## Places at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games

Aracaju was the Americas' qualifying event for artistic gymnastics at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China, where each nation could send at most one boy and one girl. Wikipedia's summary of the FIG qualification list gives the Americas 8 boys' and 9 girls' places.

- **Boys:** Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico and the United States qualified through Aracaju; the eighth place went to Panama by invitation.
- **Girls:** Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru and Puerto Rico.

Places are won by nations, which then name the gymnast. The United States, absent from the women's events in Aracaju, had a boys' place only.

## Where Aracaju 2014 fits

Junior championships are the oldest Pan American gymnastics championships: the first was held in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, in 1987, and the [Pan American Gymnastics Championships](/pan-american-gymnastics-championships#juniors) page lists every year since. The seniors met five months after Aracaju, in Mississauga, Canada, from 20 August to 1 September 2014; that competition decided the places at the [Toronto 2015 Pan American Games](/toronto-2015-gymnastics-qualification).
