Competition at the Palainvent Jesolo will begin Saturday, April 9. The U.S. juniors will compete in the second session beginning at 6 a.m. ET, and the senior competition will follow at 11 a.m. ET. Both groups will start on floor exercise.

The competition will follow a 6-4-3 format. Up to six athletes per country may perform on each apparatus, though only four per rotation – who have been designated ahead of time by their federations – will be eligible to contribute to the team score. Of the those four, the three highest scores will be added to the team’s tally.

The top eight gymnasts on each apparatus from among the full list of competitors will qualify to Sunday’s individual event finals. No more than two gymnasts per country may advance to each final. Apparatus finals are slated to begin at 8:30 a.m. ET with seniors on vault and juniors on balance beam. The remaining finals will follow in the traditional Olympic order: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise.

Since the competition’s inception in 2008, U.S. gymnasts have captured 10 senior and six junior team titles and have had 20 all-around champions crowned across both divisions.
