The Stuttgart Worlds will be pivotal in determining teams that will
compete in Tokyo. Under the new Olympic qualification system accepted by
the FIG Council at its meeting this past weekend in Melbourne (AUS),
the top three men's and women's teams from the 2018 World Championships
will qualify for the 2020 Games, while the top nine teams from the 2019
Worlds (not including teams already qualified in 2018) will also advance
to the Games.
