2020 United States Olympic trials (gymnastics)

The 2020 United States Olympic trials for gymnastics were a series of competitions held to determine the athletes who would represent the United States at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Olympics and the trials themselves were postponed to 2021.

The trials consisted of a two-day competition for both men's and women's artistic gymnastics. Athletes competed on all apparatus within their respective disciplines. The women's trials were held in St. Louis, Missouri, while the men's trials were held in St. Louis, Missouri as well.

The selection process was complex and involved both objective scoring and subjective committee selection. For the women, the top two all-around finishers at the trials automatically qualified for the Olympic team. The remaining two spots were filled based on the selection committee's evaluation of athletes' performances throughout the trials, national team camps, and other competitions, considering factors such as medal potential, team composition, and individual strengths on specific apparatus.

For the men, a similar process was in place, with a combination of automatic qualifiers and selection committee picks determining the final team roster. Performance at the trials was a significant factor, but the committee also considered international results and potential contributions to the team.

The 2020 Olympic trials were particularly significant due to the highly competitive field of athletes and the pressure associated with vying for a limited number of Olympic team spots. The events were televised nationally and garnered significant media attention. The resulting Olympic teams represented a mix of experienced veterans and rising stars.
