The Controversial Impact of the Two-Per-Country Rule in Gymnastics: Fairness or Fiasco?

The "two-per-country" rule leaves another talented athlete out of the running for the all-around finals at the Paris Olympics 2024.

The rule has sparked outrage among fans as Jordan Chiles narrowly misses the cut, despite proving to be one of the top gymnasts.

The two-per-country rule limits the number of gymnasts from any single country to two in each of the Olympic gymnastics finals

At Paris Olympics 2024, Team USA's Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Hezly Rivera showcased an outstanding performance in the gymnastics qualifying round

Chiles, who proved to be one of the best gymnasts in Paris, was excluded from the all-around finals due to two-per-country rule, missing the cut by a mere 0.067 pts.

Fans and experts alike have voiced their discontent with the rule, arguing that it prevents the best gymnasts from competing for medals

Whether the rule will be modified or not remains to be seen, but the conversation to achieve fairness in Olympic gymnastics is far from over.
