Toronto 2015 Men's Artistic Gymnastics Qualification

The September 2014 list, line by line

The men's list — Países clasificados a Juegos Panamericanos 2015, Gimnasia Artística Masculina — is a single page with a three-letter code and a number per line, and a total at the foot: "57 Gimnastas en total / 20 Federaciones". It prints Trinidad and Tobago as TTO, its code at the IOC; the Pan American Games use TRI. The basis column below is not on the list; it follows the qualification rules.

How the 57 places were won

The Toronto 2015 sport technical manual, as summarised by Wikipedia, set out the men's quota like this: the top eight teams in the team competition took five places each; teams ranked 9 to 13 took two each; and seven more places went to the best all-around gymnasts, at most one per nation, from countries without a team place.

Mississauga did not fill that pattern. Only 12 nations entered the men's team competition, so the two places meant for a 13th team moved to the individual route, making nine. Only eight eligible nations had gymnasts in the all-around, so the ninth individual place went back to the ninth-placed team, Argentina — the "2 + 1" on the list.

The list against the final entries

Costa Rica declined one of its two places and it passed to Venezuela, which had finished among teams 9 to 12. Every other line of the list stands, and the 20 nations on it are the 20 that sent men to Toronto.

What the places produced in Toronto

Colombia's all-around winner from Mississauga won three golds in Toronto — pommel horse (tied with a gymnast from the United States), parallel bars and horizontal bar — plus the all-around bronze. Cuba's all-around runner-up won medals on four events, among them the vault title. Guatemala's single place, won through the all-around, produced the floor gold.
