“Hosting the USA gymnastics Championships in St. Louis is a great prelude to the trials,” said Stephanie corepin, chief program officer for USA gymnastics. “The U.S. has qualified for two individual berths for the Olympic games in rhythmic gymnastics, and we hope our gymnasts will also qualify for the U.S. Olympic games in both trampoline and group rhythmic gymnastics. The championship is the final selection event for rhythmic gymnastics and possibly a trampoline, which means all 2020 American gymnastics Olympians will be nominated in St. Louis.”

The national Championships will also be a qualifying event for Olympic rhythmic gymnastics 2020. The USA gymnastics Championships will also be used to select American Olympians on the trampoline if the USA qualifies for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on the trampoline.
