The start lists have now been published for men’s and women’s team and individual qualifications at the Commonwealth Games. The competition will take place in the SSE Hydro in Glasgow.
 

The competition takes a slightly different format from most other major international meets, as each competitor and each team will perform over two days, July 28th and 29th. On the first day, the women will perform on vault and uneven bars while the men take to the floor, pommel horse, and still rings. The remaining events (balance beam and floor for the women, and vault, parallel bars, and high bar for the men) will take place on the second day of competition. This is a unique format for spectators since they will be able to see gymnasts from all participating nations and territories perform; however, they will not see all four or six events in action on either day.
 

Also interesting is the fact that men and women will be competing at the same time throughout the next two days. There are a total of five men’s and eight women’s subdivisions spaced periodically throughout the afternoon and evening, with competition beginning at 1:30pm BST and the last subdivision starting just after 8:00pm BST.
 

Team medals and individual all-around finalists will be named at the conclusion of competition on July 29th.
 

Day 1: Men

Most of the medal favorites will compete in subdivision 3, which includes the English, Canadian, and hometown Scottish teams. England will follow the Olympic order by beginning on floor exercise. Their youngest team member, Nile Wilson, will lead off on all three events, with 2014 European pommel champion Max Whitlock anchoring on floor and pommel horse. 2012 Olympian Sam Oldham will anchor the rings rotation.
 

Meanwhile, team Scotland will begin the day on the ever-challenging pommel horse. Adam Cox and Liam Davie will trade off the lead spot on the three events, with Daniel Purvis, the 2014 European bronze medalist on floor, finishing up the rotation on this event as well as the rings. Frank Baines and Daniel Keatings will also compete in all three events, with Keatings anchoring the pommel horse.
 

Canada will begin on rings, where Kevin Lytwyn will serve as the final competitor and the anchor for the squad. He will also anchor on pommel horse. Two-time Olympian Nathan Gafuik will lead the team with the first pommel horse routine, followed by 2014 and 2013 Canadian national champions on the pommels, Zachary Clay and Anderson Loran, in that order.
 

Australia takes part in Subdivision 2 and begins on the still rings, where Sean O’Hara will lead off. O’Hara will also start off pommel horse, while Kent Pieterse will perform first on floor, his only event of the day. Veteran team member Naoya Tsukahara will compete on all three events, taking the fourth and final slot on both rings and pommel horse.  The Aussies will share the arena with full teams from New Zealand and Wales.
 

Day 1: Women

The highlight of the day will come during the eighth and final subdivision, which includes medal favorites Canada and Australia. The Canadians will begin on vault while the Aussies start off on bars. Victoria-Kayen Woo, who replaced Victoria Moors on the team on Sunday, will serve an important role as she leads off on bars, her only event for the day. Stefanie Merkle will be the first to compete on vault, while 2014 Canadian national all-around silver medalist Isabela Onyshko will follow in the second spot on both events. Olympic veteran Ellie Black competes last on vault and third on bars, with Maegan Chant taking the anchor position on the bars.
 

Meanwhile, the reigning Commonwealth Games champions from Australia will begin on the bars, with Mary-Anne Monckton competing first and the tall, graceful Georgia Rose Brown in the final slot. Meanwhile, the four-time Commonwealth Games gold medalist Lauren Mitchell will lead off on vault. 2012 Olympian Larrissa Miller will compete third on bars but will sit out the vault line-up, with teammate Olivia Vivian serving as the vault anchor.
 

Subdivision three will feature the Welsh team, led by national all-around champion Raer Theaker. Wales will start their competition on the uneven bars, then move to the vault, with Angel Romaeo leading off on bars and Jessica Hogg starting off vault. Theaker will compete in the fourth and final position on both events.
 

In subdivision four, Kirsten Beckett will be among the small, three-member South African delegation taking part. The 2013 Worlds competitor will certainly be vying for a spot in all-around and event finals, and she will serve as the anchor for vault and uneven bars on day one of competition.
 

The Scottish team will kick off on vault during subdivision six, with three-time Commonwealth Games participant Emma White taking the anchoring position on both events. Meanwhile, the English team will highlight subdivision seven, starting on vault with Ruby Harrold in the lead-off spot and Kelly Simm competing last. The English will be particularly strong on bars, where 2014 European champion Rebecca Downie will act as anchor immediately following Harrold, the 2013 Worlds finalist on that event.
