Adding an extra layer of tension to proceedings, the 2022 World Gymnastics Championships format will see the top three teams in the men's and women's team finals claiming five quotas to the Games and qualify for the team event in Paris.
This year's event should see a much more open field, with athletes representing both the Russian Federation and Belarus banned from participating at the championships due to the invasion of Ukraine.
Qualifications for the 2022 World Gymnastics Championships are set to take place from October 29 to 31 with the finals following on from November 1 through to 6.

Watch a 2022 World Gymnastics Championships live stream from outside your country
If you're currently abroad and struggling to tune in - or if you just want the comfort and language of your home nation's coverage - then geo-restrictions may stand in your way of getting a 2022 World Gymnastics Championships live stream.
That's where the broadcaster prevents you from watching your usual feed from abroad. It's a common problem for sports fans all over the world. By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home.

Don't stress if you're in a country where there isn't a national TV broadcaster covering the Championships.
Liverpool 2022 is set to be live streamed in those regions for free via the official FIG YouTube channel as well Olympics.com.
Unfortunately, at the time of publication, a full breakdown of the events that will be live streamed on the platforms and where they'll be available hasn't been provided.
Another alternative is to use one of the best VPN service providers to tap into coverage from another nation, as described above.
The software is generally ideal for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the same country as the service.
