Have been trying to find out same. Tuned into BBC 1 just now as they announced todays timetable but no further mention of gymnastics today. Just saw there was women's qualification on earlier? I might have to try I player!

The olympics app has got the schedules but I don't know if bbc are following that

Womens Team and AA are this Tues and Thurs at 1715. They're the big women's comps to watch (sorry I don't really follow mens). Britain, and some other big teams like USA, Italy and China, have already competed in subdivisions (heats essentially) this morning. All of it was on either BBC1 or iPlayer so you should be able to watch again. The subs go on for the rest of the day and are probably on iPlayer.

There's loads of info at the official website.

I've been watching on I player but the coverage isn't great.

I watched iplayer too earlier but it was very vague

It's just started now but watching on discovery plus as the BBC don't have much coverage. It's 3.99 for a month which I thought was worth it.

Today is women's qualifications.

There are 5 subdivisions, with about 20 gymnasts in each one, who go around the four pieces of apparatus.

The first two subdivisions were this morning, and were shown on BBC - Team GB was in the first one, so that was shown; and the US were in the second one, with Simone Biles, so that was also shown.

The third one is happening at the moment, but unless you have a paid-for streaming service, you can't really watch it - you can keep updated on the scores on the olympic website, though.

The fourth and fifth ones are later this afternoon and this evening. At the end of all 5, it will be clear who has qualified for the all around final (the top 24 gymnasts who did all the apparatus), the event finals (the top 8 in each piece), and the team finals (the top 8 teams) - however only 2 people can go in the individual finals/event finals from each country, so that pushes some of the lower ranked finalists up into the final.

So it'll be later tonight when the final lists are known. But some things are obvious already - e.g., the US has already qualified as a team, as there are not enough teams left that could overtake them and leave them without a spot. It's also pretty obvious who some of the top finishers in all-around and event finals are, but some of the places are still up for contention.

I doubt much more of the qualifications will be shown on BBC, as the British interest in finishes for the day and so is Biles, but they might show some of the final subdivision with people like Rebeca Andrade in (a main competitor to Biles), or a few of the others.

Britain will possibly have a couple of gymnasts in the all-around, and might qualify as a team and might have a gymnast in one of the event finals (bars), although none of those are certain. The team finals are on Tuesday, the all-around on Thursday, and the event finals over next weekend and Monday.

That's just women's artistic. I haven't really followed men's, or the other formats.

BBC only have the rights to show two events at any one time. Currently it's rugby on BBC1 and kayaking on iPlayer.

They don't put out a schedule of what they are planning to show and they don't always show events live.

If you want to watch a particular sport without interruption you have to pay for Discovery+

Thanks for this info

Do you have iPlayer, @ssd? It’s on there, but you do have to search for it - it doesn’t always say blurb that it includes the gymnastics.
