The list of 324 athletes from 57 nations includes 196 artistic gymnasts, 96 rhythmic gymnasts and 32 trampolinists entered for the quadrennial competition, which kicks off July 27. For artistic gymnastics, both the men's and women's side includes 12 five-gymnast teams (down from six in 2008) plus 46 individuals.

Russia will be the most represented nation in London, qualifying full teams in men's and women's artistic gymnastics, two individuals and a group in rhythmic gymnastics, and individuals in men's (two) and women's trampoline (one). Belarus, Germany and Ukraine also have at least one entrant in every discipline.

One of the most popular Olympic sports, artistic gymnastics will see new champions crowned in several events. Absent from the competition in London are Americans Nastia Liukin, the 2008 all-around champion, and Shawn Johnson, the balance beam champion. Vault champion Hong Un Jong is also absent, as are all gymnasts from North Korea; the FIG handed North Korea a two-year ban in 2010 for falsifying Hong Su Jong's age at several world championships. China's He Kexin (uneven bars) and Romanian Sandra Izbasa (floor exercise) will attempt to defend their respective titles.

On the men's side, the 2008 Olympic champions in four events are absent this year: China's Yang Wei (all-around), Xiao Qin (pommel horse) and Li Xiaopeng (parallel bars), and Poland's Leszek Blanik (vault). Zou Kai (defending floor exercise and high bar champion) and Chen Yibing (defending still rings titlist) are both on China's roster.

Notable among the participants are artistic veterans Oksana Chusovitina (Germany) and Jordan Jovtchev (Bulgaria), both headed to a record sixth Olympic Games.
