How to watch Olympic Gymnastics Live in 2024

Where to watch Olympic Gymnastics

Peacock is going to be your best friend for watching gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, as it allows you to watch every event and replays. Gymnastics is a very popular sport, though and you'll only need two cable channels if you want to watch coverage and analysis on TV. NBC and E! will be showing both women and men's gymastics throughout the Summer 2024 games. 

Watch Olympic Gymnastics on Peacock

Peacock is essential for watching gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. There are multiple event finals that will only be available on NBC's digital platforms, including Peacock. The streaming service allows you to watch each qualifying round and subsequent medal events and change to different apparatus cameras if you want to stick to a specific device. A Peacock subscription will also ensure you have access to watch the other 31 sports at the Olympics as well. 

You can choose between a monthly or an annual Peacock plan when signing up. If you want no commercials, the ability to download select titles for watching when you're offline, and around-the-clock access to your local NBC channel, you can upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus.

Watch Olympic Gymnastics on DIRECTV STREAM

If you want a digital cable option, then DIRECTV STREAM will give you everything you need to watch gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Since all gymnastics coverage will be on NBC or E!, you only need the Entertainment plan, DIRECTV STREAM’s base plan. If you are a big sports fan though and want extra sports coverage, you should consider moving up to the Choice plan, which gives you access to regional sports networks and extra-national sports channels like CBS Sports Network, NFL Network and more.

If you're looking for a package that will allow you to watch sports year-round, then you will want to upgrade to the Sling Orange & Blue plan. That will give you access to ESPN, ESPN 2, and ESPN3 along with all the channels included in the Sling Blue plan. 

All of Sling TV's packages include 50 hours of DVR storage, which can be bumped up to 200 hours for an additional fee. You can watch on up to three devices at at time with the Sling Blue plan, and a fourth device can stream when you upgrade to Sling Orange & Blue.

Olympic Gymnastics events in 2024

There are three sets of competitions in both the men and women's gymnastics fields: the team medal, the all-around medal, and then medal events for each individual apparatus. Here is a breakdown for how it works on both sides. 

Women's Gymnastic Events

The women's artistic gymnasts compete in four events: Vault, Uneven Bars, Beam and Floor. 

Qualifications

Every gymnast, whether on a team or competing as an individual, participates in the qualification round. The scores in the qualification rounds will determine who moves on to team finals, all-around finals, and individual event finals. Even though there are five members on a gymnastics team, only four people from each team will compete on each apparatus. The top three scores from each team on each apparatus will be counted towards the team's final score for the qualification round. If an athlete wants to qualify for the all-around competition, they must perform on each apparatus to get a cumulative score. 

Team Final

The top eight team scores from the qualification round will go on to the Team Final. Each team will have three athletes compete on the four apparatuses, with all three scores going toward the Team Final score. The top three cumulative scores from all twelve routines will win the Olympic medals. 

All-Around Final

The top 24 individual gymnasts from the qualification round will compete in the All-Around final, though no more than two people from each National Olympic Team can compete. This means Team USA can only send two women into the all-around final, which will be determined by the highest individual scores during the qualifying round. Simone Biles is set to try for her second all-around Olympic gold medal, but it remains to be seen if defending all-around Olympic champ Suni Lee or another one of Biles' teammates will make it to the all-around final with her. 

Event Finals

The top eight individual gymnasts on each apparatus in the qualifying round will move on to the individual event finals: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor. The event finals will take place over three days from August 3-6. Only two gymnasts per NOC can compete on any given event. Simone Biles is favored to win the vault and floor exercise medals, but she also has a very strong beam routine. This could be where Hezly Rivera has a chance to shine, as her solid beam performance at Olympic trials is what helped secure her spot on this year's team. The top three scores in each event final will win the Olympic medals. 

Men's Gymnastic Events

The men's gymnastic events work very similar to the women's structure, except they have six events instead of four: Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, and High Bar. 

Qualifications

Every male gymnast whether on a team or competing as an individual will compete in qualifying rounds. Again, these scores will determine who moves on to team finals, all-around finals, and individual event finals. Four gymnasts from each team will compete on each apparatus, with the top three scores on each event going toward the team score. Any gymnast that wishes to make the all-around final must compete on all six apparatus and get one of the top 24 cumulative scores. 

Team Final

The top eight teams move on to the team final. For the men, this means the teams with the highest cumulative score from 18 routines (the top three from each apparatus) in the qualifying round. The scores are reset to zero for the team final and each team sends three gymnasts to each apparatus with all three routine scores going into the final team score. The highest cumulative team score after routines on all six apparatus have been completed will win gold. 

All-Around Finals

To qualify for the men's all-around final, the gymnast must perform on all six apparatus in the qualifying round. The 24 gymnasts with the highest cumulative score across the six events will move on to the all-around final, but each NOC can only send a maximum of two athletes into the finals. Brody Malone and Frederick Richard are the current U.S. males favored to compete in the all-around competition, but Japan's Hashimoto Daiki will also be there to defend his Olympic all-around title from the Tokyo games. Zhang Boheng of China will also be in Paris and is in contention for the 2024 all-around title as well. 

Event Finals

Men's artistic gymnastics event finals will begin on August 3 with the floor exercise, pommel horse and still rings finals. The second day of event finals will include vault, parallel bars, and the high bar finals. The top eight scoring gymnasts on each apparatus will compete in the event finals, with no more than two athletes from any NOC qualifying for one event. This prevents a country from sweeping the entire podium. As mentioned before, Malone and Richard are strong contenders on each apparatus, but Stephen Nedoroscik is also the 2021 Pommel Horse world champion, so the US could bring home multiple individual event medals.
