No, the rules clearly state that it's:
Worlds AA 1st-3rd (3 gymnasts)
The best 22 gymnasts at the Worlds who were not already qualified (only from countries not in the top 15) (22 gymnasts)
Host gymnast (1)
+++
One question: if I see it correctly, there is no limit on the number of gymnasts/country who can qualify into the "next 22", going for the 6 Olympic places left at the Test event. Can anyone confirm this?
(this would mean that e. g. Tikkanen and Volkova, Hayakawa and Minagawa can both go to the test event, though only one of them can qualify) _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |

What is the point of letting best 3 to show up in test even and the other top 13 don't participate? |

Isnt it 2 gymnasts max per country who can qualify to the OG ? So I guess it is two gymnasts /country for the test event, except if the country has already 2 qualified in the WC, and only one to the test event, if one qualified at the WC.
Am I right ? _________________ instagram.com/coolmadgick1 |

And there's no reason to participate in the test event if her country-mate has already qualified, cause she should have got it in the World's 2015. So is it like that?
This is ridiculous by the way. |

OK, now.
This: "For the individual competition, Test Event qualifiers are drawn from the qualification round (CI) of the Stuttgart World Championships. The top 23 finishers behind the 15 who initially advance to the Olympic Games will qualify to compete at the Test Event. These 23 will include one gymnast from Brazil, the Olympic host country, if a Brazilian competitor has not yet qualified to the Games."
http://www.fig-gymnastics.com/site/page/view?id=848
Contradicts this in my view:
"Participation in the 2016 Olympic Games Test Event will be limited to:
The best ranked eligible NOCs not already qualified as per the results of the Individual ranking of the Qualification Competition (CI) of the 2015 World Championships (22 quota places)"
http://www.fig-gymnastics.com/publicdir/rules/files/olympic/Rio%202016-Qualification-system.pdf
Both are from FIG. Which is the good one? _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |

The above two statements won't be in conflict to each other if "qualified" meant to have two instead of one athletes from same NOC are both qualified in Stuttgart. So only logical explanation is that each NOC has chance to qualify two even in test event.... I hope that is true which appears to be fair. |

But the NOC itself has already qualified if they have a gymnast in the top 15.
I'll try to ask for clarification on this. _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |

This also states that top 15 of AA final qualify directly, the next 22 (regardless of NOC) go to the test event:

Yeah they only leave out the small detail that if you have a gymnast in the top 15, you cannot qualify more to the test event _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |
