From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The United States Olympic team trials in gymnastics are held before every Summer Olympic Games to select the participants for the US Olympic gymnastics team. The event is overseen by the United States Olympic Committee and run by USA Gymnastics.

The first Olympic trials were held in 1960 in West Point, New York, to select athletes for the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy.[1] The men's and women's trials have been held both separately and then as one event.[2] Many of the early results are hard to come by as they were not recorded or published to the public.
