Olympic berths

[edit]

The top eligible male and female gymnasts earned an Olympic berth to the 2024 Olympic Games.[4] Omar Mohamed and Jana Mahmoud, both from Egypt, claimed these spots.[6]

Participating nations

[edit]

Algeria did not send any athletes due to the Ministry of Youth and Sports not receiving approval to participate. This was due to the ongoing conflict of RS Berkane football club wearing jerseys that displayed the Moroccan map along with its disputed Southern Provinces.[7]

This was the first time Chad's women's national gymnastics team competed at an international event.[8][9]
