Olympic gymnastics team sizes return to five for Paris 2024

Turns out the Final Five will not be the final five, in at least one respect.

Olympic gymnastics team event sizes will increase by one man and one woman each for the 2024 Paris Games, subject to IOC approval. That’s in line with the team sizes in 2012 and 2016, before the International Gymnastics Federation cut them to four for the 2020 Tokyo Games.

That change for 2020, announced in May 2015, led the 2016 U.S. Olympic women’s gymnasts to dub themselves the “Final Five.” The team name was also in reference to it being Martha Karolyi‘s last Olympics as national team coordinator.
